Jackass: Best and Last Sends Off the Crew With More Heart Than You'd Expect
★★★½☆ 3.5/5
A scrappy, sentimental victory lap.
Is Jackass: Best and Last good?
Yes — it’s a Celluloid Score of 73%, one of the stronger entries in the franchise’s later run. Jeff Tremaine’s fifth Jackass feature keeps the physical-comedy chaos intact while making more room than usual for the crew’s real affection for each other after two-plus decades of stunts.
What is Jackass: Best and Last about?
It’s the crew’s billed final ride, mixing new recruits into the old lineup’s stunts and pranks one last time. Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, and the rest treat the film as both a highlight reel and a goodbye, structuring set pieces around callbacks to earlier films.
Should you watch Jackass: Best and Last?
If you’ve followed the series this far, yes — it’s built specifically as a send-off for existing fans. Newcomers may find it less essential than Jackass Forever, but the emotional throughline of guys who’ve been hurting themselves together for 25 years lands more than you’d expect from a movie this juvenile on its surface.
How does it compare to Jackass Forever?
It’s scrappier and more sentimental than the 2022 comeback, trading some polish for nostalgia. Where Jackass Forever worked as a triumphant return, Best and Last plays more like a wake — funnier in places, a little sadder in others.
