Storyline
Eighty-six-year-old Irving Zisman is on a journey across America with
the most unlikely companion: his eight-year-old grandson Billy, in
"Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa". This October, the signature Jackass
characters Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) and Billy (Jackson Nicoll)
will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road
trip ever captured on camera. Along the way Irving will introduce the
young and impressionable Billy to people, places, and situations that
give new meaning to the term "childrearing". The duo will encounter male
strippers, disgruntled child beauty pageant contestants (and their
equally disgruntled mothers), funeral home mourners, biker bar patrons,
and a whole lot of unsuspecting citizens. Real people in unreal
situations, making for one really messed up comedy.

Johnny
Knoxville is back! Unfortunately, though, he goes solo for the first
time in 'Jackass' history in this brilliant spin- off film, 'Bad
Grandpa'.
The film revolves around Jackass' horny pensioner, Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville), who is given the task of driving his impressionable 8 year old grandson, Billy (Jackson Nicoll) across America to get him to his deadbeat father when his mother is jailed.
In a change of the original formula, this instalment of the hidden- camera prank series sees a very loose narrative that is accompanied by several 'Jackass' stunts and pranks. The story that the film makers used is an excellent way to get the two main characters on the move and exchanging witty dialogue and get in a lot of awkward scrapes. The character of Irving was always very one- note, in the first three 'Jackass' movies he was just a grumpy, horny, inappropriate old man who shoplifted and got into petty arguments with enraged passers-by, and he's pretty much the same in this movie. But, what the film makers have also done is take the Irving character and his distinct personality and have given him a heart, they have crafted this 1 dimensional being into a 2 dimensional one, and they really create emotion during the film, especially when Irving and Billy are getting to know each other and bond. Johnny Knoxville's performance as Irving is the same shtick from the other movies, it is both funny and REALLY funny, but when he has to act, HE REALLY ACTS! I think this is Knoxville's greatest achievement in acting, and sincerely hope that he ventures off into more serious roles, as well as keeping with his comedic ones. The one that really steals the show, though is, of course, Billy, the cute, chubby little side kick. This kid is easily the best part about the movie, everything he does in the film, he does with fearlessness and class, stealing scenes from Johnny Knoxville and capturing hearts.
The story includes all of the immature, raunchy moments that you would expect to see from 'Jackass', it features all of the uncomfortable reaction shots and the gross- out gags, but surprisingly, it also has a lot of sweet moments, too. One that comes to mind is a scene featuring a gang of bikers who run an organisation that help abused children. This particular scene had me tearing up a bit.
Overall, this is a ridiculously funny movie, and possibly one of my favourite movies of the year. Next to 'The World's End' and 'Ted', this is one of the few recent comedies that actually made me laugh. It may come off the roots of the immature 'Jackass' formula, but what lies behind the Jackass is a big, big heart.
