Jackass 3.52011

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Jackass 3.5 is about as non-woke as it gets, reckless dudes, dumb stunts, and unapologetic silliness. Not even trying to be socially relevant, which makes it almost retro at this point.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Jackass 3.5 is essentially a compilation of stunts and pranks, not a narrative-driven film. Identity politics play zero role here, these guys care only about pulling off the most ridiculous (and painful) stunts. Story structure, character arcs, and forced representation are non-factors.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's humor often indulges in crude masculinity and sometimes borders on juvenile, but it's not agenda-driven. While it might offend more delicate sensibilities, it doesn't push any ideological reconsideration of traditional values. A refreshing lack of moralizing or cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no discernible ideological monoculture: the cast pokes fun at themselves and each other, not at broader societal norms. Nobody is preaching, and there's certainly no overt villainization of traditional ideas, just people acting wild for laughs.
