It's hard to know just how to take Jackass: The Movie. It's not exactly stupid -- who else would have thought of releasing a movie that's pretty much exactly the same as the TV show it's based on? Cynical might be a better word. Or even inspired -- as long as your definition of inspiration includes shoving a toy car in your rear end. Jackass: The Movie (the DVD) throws in thirty minutes of new stunts. In one, "Pocket Ass Return," Johnny Knoxville tries to return a gay-sex toy that he says gave him a "mid-shaft gash."
