Jackass 3 Review

Messages: There are no positive messages here. The featured behavior is mean-spirited, destructive, and dangerous. The movie does come with a warning for viewers not to try any of these stunts at home.

Role models: The cast members obviously share a strong friendship, but they also play cruel jokes on one another and laugh at one another's pain. Perhaps the most disturbing thing is that they've made themselves rich and famous from their movies and TV shows -- which could help "inspire" teens to try something similar.

Violence: Tons of self-inflicted violence and mean-spirited practical jokes. The subjects get smashed in the face and in the groin with various objects, as well as covered with various bodily fluids and excrement. Characters hit and punch each other. Several stunts result in painful-looking falls and crashes. Several animals and creatures (bulls, buffalo, a ram, scorpions, bees, etc.) attack the subjects. Some blood is seen (especially in a painful tooth-pulling sequence).

Sex: Several scenes with full-frontal male nudity. Cast members urinate and defecate on camera, and various objects are placed in various orifices. Cast members also make sex-related jokes and appear in sexually suggestive positions. In one prank sequence, a "grandfather" passionately kisses his "granddaughter" and grabs her bottom.

Language: Many uses of "f--k" (and variations thereof), "s--t," "c--ksucker," "ass," "a--hole," "goddamn," "hell," "piss," "nuts," "oh my God," "dick," and more.

Consumerism: While there's a long list of sponsors in the credits, brand names are hardly referenced onscreen.

Drinking, drugs and smoking: Cast members drink one swallow of beer during a prank in a bar.
