Cinema’s Wildest Franchise Bids an Epically Insane Farewell

For 26 years, Jackass has been the ultimate avant-garde prankster inanity, serving up gonzo performance-art madness with the glee of a reckless teenager high on whippets.

It’s the king of the juvenile hill, and it goes out with a sledgehammer to the crotch with Jackass: Best and Last (June 26, in theaters), a commemorative big-screen farewell that blends new and old material.

Not the series’ high point but nonetheless a deliriously puerile swan song for Johnny Knoxville and his merry band of mischief-makers, it proves that nothing is eternal except the hilarity of seeing others hurt themselves for our amusement.
