I've seen fair share of Jack Ass series on the MTV and their movies. Last fall I saw Bad Granpa and even it was decent though it really was a one joke movie which did get old pretty fast. I have also seen the Dudesons original series in the beginning of new millennium. So I'd say that I'm not new to this 'genre'.
And now we get to this piece of cinema history... The film begins with one of Bams antics throwing snow and flour on sleeping people. This was seen a decade ago in original Jack Ass series and even then I thought that it was one of the lamest skits. Then Bam, for no reason, starts messing around with this guy Novak and trashes his 'new' car. The whole first 15-25 minutes of this movie is just pointless way to introduce the characters to the viewers. Then starts the trip to Finland.
In Finland Bam continues being a total d*ck and abuses his friends constantly. He even makes one of them to get a tattooed map of Finland on his belly. Then a little bit of trash-talking and kicking and beating. Bam is definitely not the kind of 'friend' you want to have even if he is cool. Bam maybe tries to be something like Johnny Knoxville and gather his own crew but the members are soulless dummies ready to face Bams abuse. His weird fascination of Finland and bad Finnish music is amazing.
As a native Finn I can say that there are many facts that are totally wrong in this movie. The 'map' (not on Hannas belly) isn't anywhere close to being accurate. Only the north-south-axle is right. And the Santa Claus doesn't live in Rovaniemi according to Finns, there is just his commercial workshop for mainly Japanese and Russian tourists. Santa really lives in Korvatunturi which also is in Lapland but it isn't as 'cool' place as Rovaniemi. And it would have been some what nice touch to really have Finnish Santa Claus instead of some Yankee guy with awful accent trying to speak Finnish.
There isn't any reason to watch this movie. I wasted 90 minutes of my life and I can't get those ever back. Only reason why I watched the whole movie was that I always watch movie to the end. It was a big mistake and I hope that I wouldn't have done that. Even one star is too much for this.
