Dorathen Better Late Then Never

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

vyhle I have not watched every jackass episode. It was mildly entertaining if nothing else was going. But after watching Jackass #2 i was fond of Bam and Dunn. They had a nice attitude in the movie jackass so i figured i'd tune in on viva la Bam. Boy was i mistaken. Seriously, you could pair a bunch of 2'graders, provide them with the same budget and i bet they could knock off something more creative on the screen. I mean, C'Mon MTV!! At 23 where most people are tuned in you give us this rubbish.Everything seems so forced. You don't know the characters because there's no attitude at all. You can't appreciate Bam or Dunn, or anyone for that matter. If there would just be a tiny tiny doze of thought. Anything we won't forget as soon as next shot goes on.They finally manage to create a good shot and you like whats going on. You sit there, just waiting for their reaction, and then some jerk closes the scenes with two lame sentences and bang. Was that the close for that shot or what, please?. If i had been there i would freak out and laugh. Do some insane stuff and have my adrenaline pumping but these guys... Just scripted stupid reactions.Yes they get a few chuckles of the audience by cheap gross jokes, or gigantic jokes which in my opinion are such a waste of cash. Many many normal humans which was not taken under the Jackass wing could in a heartbeat write a far funnier script. Or impress with visual camera work. Even spontaneous wannabe cool guys without a script would pull of a better job. MTV could in a whim bring more soothing material on the screen. You just need to fire the writer of this stupid show.Some scenes actually require a bit of courage and therefore 2 stars.

steph_hhh83 This is one of my all time favorite shows. Too bad it's over. I enjoyed watching every episodes. Some more than others. The first 3 seasons are my favorite. The 4th one was okay. The 5th was good too. I still like the 1st the best, because you can tell it was made more original. The Scavenger hunt was my favorite one of all. Ryan Dunn is one of my favorite's on there besides bam, of course. Woundn't be great to have parents like April and Phil? Not a crazy sick uncle like Don Vito. I like when they go to other towns and countrys. The lost episode was pretty weird too. I own all of the shows on DVD. I am glad they do a bonus DVD with each season. I would rate this show 10 out of 10!

MovieAddict2016 The creators of MTV's "Jackass" got sued by angry parents whose children had been influenced by the show and it got taken off the air. (Then they released the hilarious-but-childish feature length movie as a fond farewell.) Johnny Knoxville, the only talented member of the cast, left to pursue a career in Hollywood (now seen in "The Dukes of Hazzard") - but Bam Margera, the wannabe skateboarder who lives with his parents, couldn't move on and decided to revive the "Jackass" format for a new reality show based solely around his life, called "Viva la Bam." I know I'm sounding really cruel. I don't hate Bam Margera or this TV show. I watched it a few times on MTV late at night when I was bored, and I'll admit, it kept me entertained in a car-crash kind of way - i.e. it's so bad you can't take your eyes off it.This is trashy, exploitative stuff. Very childish. Much of it seems to be scripted, and in fact isn't even reality television.Simply put this isn't nearly as funny as "Jackass" - it's just a baby brother and Bam himself isn't strong enough to carry the show. I miss Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the cast, it's just not the same without them.

Kasper Ghost Viva la Bam is awful.Bam comes off as a spoiled brat. Not hip or cool. Picking on his friends, dad, and mom. Sure its "All in fun" but if anything was ever done too him "Its pay back". So he's a bully thats comes off as a fake rebel. With a fashioncore attitude and "Fake rebellion". This show should be great with teenagers 13-17, living at home with their parents. Ungrateful for life and anything given to them.Viva la Bam is poorly written and pretends to be random and crazy! MTV is a generation destroyer. They put these false idols on TV and kids will follow anything that pretends to be "different" & "cool"."Be like Bam kids! You'll be unique" yeah... right...
