Jackass: Bad Grandpa

Yes, I paid money to watch this movie.  Yes, I actually have watched and enjoyed the other Jackass movies too.  I feel that watching these type of movies and the idiotic stunts that these "actors" put themselves through provide just as much entertainment as any of the so-called reality shows so prevalent on TV.

Bad Grandpa is different than the other Jackass movies in that this actually has a plot.  It follows a grandpa trying to get his grandson to the boy's father so that he can date after his wife dies.  OK, I never said the plot was great, just that there was one.

This movie has funny scenes and the typical Jackass crass scenes but it was an interesting way to film a movie with limited actors and mostly real people in fake situations.  Jackson Nicoll shows that he is an up and coming actor at the tender age of  10 even in scenes that are arguably too old for him.

I give this one thumb up for the IQ needed by the viewer to watch this movie.
