jackass: best and last Movie Review
Bottom Line
Choose it for a funny, unexpectedly moving farewell built on the crew’s camaraderie and classic crowd-pleasing stunts. Skip it if you want a mostly new movie or dislike relentless nudity, excrement, and painful gross-out comedy.
Best for
Longtime Jackass fans, adult viewers who enjoy extreme physical and gross-out comedy, and theater crowds that value communal laughter will get the most from the nostalgic farewell.
Not for
Viewers seeking a mostly original movie, polished narrative storytelling, restrained content, or family-friendly entertainment should skip it.
Verdict
Jackass: Best and Last works best as an affectionate curtain call rather than a fully new installment. The crew’s chemistry, Johnny Knoxville’s visible emotion, and several inspired new stunts produce genuine laughter and an unexpectedly moving sense of finality. Its archival structure also gives newcomers a useful tour of the franchise and lets classic bits play well with a crowd. The tradeoff is substantial: familiar footage occupies too much of the runtime, the newer cast is often sidelined, and the fresh stunts are generally smaller than the series’ peak. The relentless rectal, excrement, nudity, and bodily-harm material will also be a hard stop for many viewers. For committed fans, the warmth and communal laughter outweigh the recycled construction; for everyone else, it can feel like an extended greatest-hits extra.

Pros
-
The cast’s affectionate camaraderie remains the movie’s greatest strength. Their shared laughter, trust, and willingness to look foolish turn extreme humiliation into a warm portrait of friendship.
-
Aging, injury, absent friends, and Johnny Knoxville’s visible emotion give the farewell surprising weight. The best moments balance tears and laughter without losing the franchise’s crude spirit.
-
Longtime fans and lively theater crowds are the clearest match, with the nostalgia and shared laughter doing much of the work. Newcomers may enjoy the historical overview, though some find it a weak starting point.
-
The final ride generally feels warm, affectionate, and fitting, with the cast’s bond carrying the goodbye. A minority see it as an anticlimactic or unnecessary follow-up to stronger earlier farewells.
-
The old-new intercutting often creates an effective nostalgic rhythm, and brisk cutting keeps the grossest moments moving. The same structure can also feel padded, choppy, or overly dependent on recycled footage.
-
Classic bits remain reliable laugh generators, and several new stunts reach inspired slapstick heights. The heavy reliance on feces and rectal jokes is the most common comedic turnoff.
Cons
-
The newer cast receives uneven treatment. Poopies and Zach make strong impressions, while Rachel Wolfson, Jasper Dolphin, Dark Shark, and others are too often reduced to reactions or background presence.
-
The abundant male nudity is sometimes appreciated for its body-positive, nonjudgmental presentation. The relentless genital, rectal, and excrement material is excessive or unpleasant for many viewers.
-
The greatest-hits structure is the clearest weakness. New and previously unseen footage adds value, but too much of the runtime revisits material longtime fans already know.
-
The gross-out formula remains polarizing, and one strongly negative response dismisses it as cultural decline rather than worthwhile comedy.
-
The blend of melancholy, nostalgia, and bodily chaos usually feels uniquely appropriate for the franchise. A few critics find the older cast’s pain, forced reactions, or hazing more sad and uncomfortable than funny.
-
Theatrical crowd energy, unseen footage, and a handful of strong new stunts provide real value for committed fans. Heavy recycling also makes the film feel like a cheap cash grab to its harshest critics.
Cast & Creators
-
ActorJohnny Knoxville’s charisma, impish timing, and visible emotion give the farewell its center. Injuries limit his physical participation, but his ringleader presence remains essential.
-
Voice ActorAdam Ray’s voice work as Larry the Robot is a scene-stealing addition, bringing quick jokes and personality to several of the strongest new bits.
-
ActorSteve-O attacks the grossest new material with total commitment and emerges as a frequent MVP, though his most extreme rectal and excrement bits will divide viewers.
-
ActorSean “Poopies” McInerney is one of the strongest active performers in the new material, repeatedly enduring the film’s most punishing and memorable stunts.
-
DirectorJeff Tremaine shapes the archival footage with care and gives the bookends a polished finish. The rushed compilation structure keeps this from feeling like his strongest Jackass feature.
-
ActorRyan Dunn’s archival presence brings sweetness and loss to the farewell, reminding viewers how much his personality contributed to the group’s chemistry.

FAQ
Is most of the movie new footage?
No. It mixes new stunts and previously unseen material with a substantial greatest-hits selection from earlier Jackass films and television footage.
Is it still funny?
For fans of physical and gross-out comedy, yes—several new bits and many classic stunts earn strong laughs. The poop and rectal humor is also the most common reason viewers disengage.
Does the farewell feel emotional?
Yes. Aging, injuries, Ryan Dunn’s absence, Bam Margera’s archival return, and Johnny Knoxville’s visible emotion give the movie an unexpectedly poignant tone.
Is it a good introduction for newcomers?
The compilation offers a broad overview, but the emotional payoff is strongest for longtime fans. Some critics recommend starting with a stronger earlier film instead.
Is it family-friendly?
No. It contains graphic nudity, pervasive profanity, dangerous stunts, excrement, vomiting, sexual material, and intense bodily harm.
