There is truly nothing straight about Jackass. The very bones of it is about tenderness and care as a means of experimentation and liberation, building a community of understanding together. It is a soothing balm on toxic masculinity. A window into some of the weirdest, dumbest shit you can imagine, fully realised in cinemascope. Jackass, it’s for the gays and the girls.
