There's something beyond people hitting each other that makes "Jackass" funny. I think it's that you like the guys enough to not want to see them die, but not enough to not want to see them hurt themselves/each other. The violence is, at times, very cartoony, and purposefully so. Johnny Knoxville once said that they take some of their ideas from Looney Tunes.
The film is well made. A non-stop barrage of people doing ridiculous shit. It's never in good taste. Obviously, there will be a certain level of person who will not like this. Maybe they will just flat out refuse to let themselves enjoy it, maybe they really do not enjoy it. I couldn't stop laughing.
I won't go into any detailed discussion of any particular stunts. There's too many, really. Plus, part of the fun sometimes is the reveal of what is happening or about to happen. This movie is very worth watching.
9/10
