Jackass Forever is sad. The target audiences are teenagers and established fans, yet teenagers might not relate to the aging cast and original fans might've outgrown the shtick. Frankly, it's surprising that the Jackass members haven't evolved themselves. Maybe they're normal adults in their personal lives and present characters for the cameras. Still, these grown men must have new career avenues by now. There comes a point when it's not funny to see middle-aged men get seriously injured or play with their genitals for laughs. It's just off-putting that these declining adults are still resorting to demeaning forms of entertainment.
Technically, it's almost unfair to evaluate Jackass Forever because it isn't a movie. Still, this patchwork of exhibitions has been released in theaters, so it deserves the critique. The writing is nonexistent. The imagery has little intention outside of catching the gags in frame. The editing and sound are irrelevant. The music has little contextual relation. And the production design is cheap and amateur. Really, the only effort is in the effects because the stunts are real. However, it's hard to give that much credit, since even those are sloppily executed. Overall, Jackass Forever has a very specific audience and it's fading.
