Hey, I'm Ryan Michaels, a 13-year-old writing movie reviews for Heritage Newspapers. I've been doing it for two years, and enjoy it a lot. Here's my review of "Jackass 3D."

I'm not going to lie to you and say that "Jackass 3D" is a good movie. Nor will I lie and say that it is a bad movie. Come to think of it, it isn't really a movie at all.

I mean, think about all of the ways in which one can critique a film. Script, performances, direction (technical/aesthetic craft), themes, but none apply to "Jackass." It's basically just a bunch of skits crudely spliced together to create a profane, offensive, relentlessly disgusting, and ridiculously entertaining whole.

The purpose of "Jackass" is to push humanity's threshold for pain -- and for that matter, laughing at pain -- to whole new levels, by way of stunts and pranks performed by a troupe of amicable idiots. I can't describe what goes on in these skits without losing my job.

As I said, there is no real way to review "Jackass 3D." There is merely a stark divide between people who are repulsed by the very idea of it, and people who find pure, simple enjoyment out of the stupidity of others. Evidently, I fall into the latter category. "Jackass" taps into a part of me that movies almost never tap into -- this sort of pure idiotic enjoyment of purely idiotic acts.
