Timing when the movie came out was perfect. The TV show was a hit and the next logical thing to do was to create à movie. The thing is I don't think Jackass would have taken off in these times. It came out excatly at the perfect time in the early 2000s and surprised everyone with it's absurdity and they became known all over the world for many years and reached success which no one could replicate on their level.
I recently read Steve-O's book in which he tells everything about his life and jackass so I wanted to see the movie which began it all and I have mixed feelings about it. You can see the early days, the not so mature cast and what have they become over time. It really feels like a different time in which you could get away with the stunts they performed. I enjoyed some but others felt like they are being too much of a jerk to people. Anyway it's not the best and it's not the worst. But you can't take away it's legacy which will live forever.
