Review: 'Jackass: Best and Last' Recycles Old Stunts, Lacks Freshness of Earlier Films
By
Bilge Ebiri
Summary
Bilge Ebiri reviews 'Jackass: Best and Last' (the fifth Jackass movie), finding it to be a retread of older, better stunts from previous films. While the movie features some amusing moments and the signature Jackass camaraderie, it largely recycles bits from earlier entries and lacks the freshness of the originals. The review notes the film's self-aware title is misleading — it's neither the best Jackass movie nor likely the last. Despite the criticism, Ebiri acknowledges there are worse ways to spend time than laughing at classic Jackass bits in a theater.

Jackass: Best and Last is not the best Jackass, and it might not be the last.
There are probably worse things you could do than sit in a theater yukking it up to classic 'Jackass' bits.
