Johnny Knoxville and his merry men of masochism push the bounds of lewd and crude behavior with “Jackass: The Movie.”

Chalked full of sick stunts which will make you gag, this movie is probably the stupidest concept to be put on film.

But naysayers be damned if it isn’t jaw-dropping hilarity.

While the television series’ brief stint on MTV pushed the moral envelope for society, “Jackass: The Movie” takes that envelope and, well, uses it to make paper cuts in between Knoxville’s fingers and toes.

The opening credits set the tone for things to come.

The entire cast blazes down an empty street in a giant shopping cart with the orchestral song “O Fortuna” playing in the background.

It is a sight you have to see in order to truly appreciate it.

The lack of any structure or plot doesn’t affect the movie in the least. Skits come and go in short bursts.

A few of them last mere seconds: such as Steve-O jumping off a mini trampoline into his ceiling fan and crashing down onto a table, Knoxville being knocked over by a tidal wave, and Jason “Wee Man” Acuna kicking himself in the head.

Other sketches last a little longer.

Bam Margera skating around in a fat suit or Steve-O attempting to walk a tight rope with a pool of alligators underneath him.

Amidst the chaos of immature toilet humor are actual moments of brilliant comedy worthy of the “Monty Python” troupe.

Knoxville orders a rental car and drives it in a demolition derby.

Margera puts an alligator in his mother’s kitchen in an attempt to make her say the f-word.

And Knoxville uses an air horn at a golf course while people are teeing off.

These moments are priceless.

Still, you cannot watch this movie and not question the common sense of those involved.

It’s just human nature.

Knoxville gets his head busted open when he fights Butterbean in department store boxing and Ryan Dunn is pummeled by a female pro-kickboxer.

Rest assured, this movie is not for everybody.

If you’re easily grossed out at the sight of a man eating a snow cone topped off with his urine, then this movie is probably not for you.

“Jackass” is gross enough to keep audiences enthralled, if not paralyzed with shock and/or laughter, until the end credits are over with.

The Jackass crew lives up to their title, putting humanity at risk for decency. (Paramount Pictures)
