Like jackass just not funny boring too and attempts to be heart warming succeeded like eating a 💩 stale sandwich

This movie was great! It was recounting the horrors of Action Park. Yes what happened was bad but retelling the history and recounting the fun that teens back then had at the time, is a great relic of the past. And Johnny Knoxville was the one to do it!

really funny movie about an amusement park with no safety regulations at all. everyone does drugs and gets drunk and has the time of their lives. no real point to the story but its pretty funny and it was just a good time.

Don't think about Jackass if you are. You will be let down. Not what was planned to be, but what is. Although the story is hazy and the movie is goofy, if you can enjoy it for what it is. And I have no doubts about that.

It was ok overall, a little disappointing as it was just more juvenile humour like jackass with a few laughs in it, but it was a good idea based on a true story that had potential

Action Point is a boring film. It is about a daredevil designs and operates his own theme park with his friends. Johnny Knoxville and Eleanor Worthington-Cox give disappointing performances. The screenplay is badly written. Tim Kirkby did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.

Action Point by Johnny Knoxville is actually a guilty pleasure of mine. The plot isn't the greatest along with everything else, but the one thing I loved in this film were the stunts. For someone who enjoys watching Jackass, this might not be the movie for you however, some moments left me laughing on the floor and cringing ( In a good way) from the impact from Johnny's stunts, and some looked really painful to do as well. Maybe my love for theme parks, the history of theme and water parks, and stunts might give me a bit of a bias towards this film, but in any case I recommend you watch it if you see it on sell somewhere or have the opportunity to watch it.

From television to theaters to amusement park under the "Jacka**" brand in a form of a somewhat pointlessly unauthorized story of the inspired retrospective behind a defuncted dangerous park that admittedly piqued interest on the approach, only to find the utter nonsense of stupidity unfunny enough to be boring. (C-)

Daft, silly, stupid... funny... it's just funny fun and we need that right now. Brilliant

I really like the idea of incorporating Jackass stunts into a narrative film, but not “this” film. It’s a woefully undercooked summer comedy with Jackass stunts scattered throughout.

A solid Jackass spin off that had some funny moments and a good story with Johnny Knoxville doing what he does best.

Very funny movie! I actually laughed!

My identity as a Chinese film critic, who was born in 1981 and has spent four years in studying English in Xiamen University, has not struck me favors of R-rated comedies. At the very beginning of 21st century, a Chinese college student as westernized as me was zealous about the kaleidoscope from Hollywood, and one of those most neoteric and notorious pinballs was the R-rated comedy, which then has emerged and then shot applausively. As is well-known, Jackass is one of the most pioneering R-rated comedies as well as of the most appealing IPs. However, as a kind of derivative to Jackass, Action Point is as by-the-numbers as the tuxedo universally acknowledged on Oscar night. One of the most delightful facets of American culture, or should we say Hollywood culture, is that, even though Coca-Cola is one of the strongest and most popular brands, it's a kind of cheap bargain. To define R-rated comedies as equal as Coca-Cola is unfair for staff from Hollywood. That kind of comedy is not soft or foamed; it's nauseous and brazen. I can't remember my first encounter with an R-rated comedy, however, since the number of box-office- hotshot-R-rated comedies is double-digit, I can recall a few of them. The first impression, if you're an R-rated-comedy-virgin, would be that you can hardly distinguish shits from jokes. A genre film has its own way to stylize or be stylized. As an invention, the R-rated comedy does not seem as drastic as the French Revolution, however, it is an overturn of rules invented by comedians that a comedy should make people laugh and think. Concerning the funny part, that kind of comedy is flashy and sleazy; concerning the serious part, funny, very funny. It's not clear that what kind of opinion has driven Action Point, a comedy rated R, directed by Tim Kirkby and starring Johnny Knoxville and Chris Pontius, into a dramedy. Absolutely not conscientiousness. As with Bad Grandpa, a previous film by Knoxville, who's the synonym of Jackass, Action Point features traditional Jackass-style stunts connected by a fictional narrative. I've never watched Jackass, although I've learned that Jackass is a big franchise, with his origin as an American reality comedy television series full of perceived indecency and encouragement of dangerous behavior, best known for his stunt-style jokes and co-creator and star Johnny Knoxville. After the show went off the air, the cast reunited in 2002 to film a full-length motion picture version of the show entitled Jackass: The Movie, the success of which has bred four so-so sequels and the imminent advent of Jackass 4 in 2021. To be honest, I do not intend to give up my disgust against Jackass simply for my critic on Action Point, which is quite ridiculous, exemplified by the fact that I did not even watch the whole film, not only because of its indifferent narration of the story but also poor stunt choreography. In a word, Action Point is too jackass to be a Jackass. What does the story leak? Well, it's a typical Revenge of the Nerds, starting from the recalling of Deshawn Chico "D.C." (Johnny Knoxville) to his granddaughter narrating his experiences about what he refers to be the best amusement park-Action Point. Many years ago, D.C. was the freak owner of Action Point which was as freak as himself, famous for the immense danger due to inexperienced and untrained staff, poorly designed rides, and minimal low-quality maintenance. Somehow, the park was popular with kids as being the only amusement park around. However, a new amusement park, ‘7 Parks', with higher safety standards than Action Point, opens up and begins to steal its clientele, the coming of which pressured D.C. a lot due to his failure to pay off a $100,000 loan. Also, his estranged teenage daughter Boogie (Eleanor Worthington Cox) comes to visit and begins to help out at the park as a summer job. To save his beloved park and his relationship with his daughter, D.C. and the Action Point staff risk everything to pull out all the stops. Boring, by-the-numbers and deflated, Action Point will disappoint you more by those perfunctory stunts which is probably the main reason the film lives. Anyway, don't misjudge Jackass if you're or will be into R-rated comedies. You don't have to know anything about existentialism, the theory that humans are free and responsible for their own actions in a world without meaning. Both its birth and death would be miracles.

Great watch, will likely watch again, and can recommend. If you ever heard of Action Point (it was a real park in New Jersey), like Johnny Knoxville / Jackass, amusement parks, or general chaos, then you should check out this movie. While I'm not a particular fan of Jackass, I can get behind throwing caution to the wind for entertainment, if you think it through. So I'm a fan of "Bad Grandpa" and the stunts in this. Just the idea that the things in this movie were once real things that people could experience really makes it for me, alongside a great supporting cast, characters, and honestly some good background music. This movie isn't going to be for everyone, but its put together wonderfully, and is honestly touching in a few different ways. I occasionally look up Action Point and think, "What if it came back, could we save it?"

Johnny Knoxville put his body through hell and it's fun to watch I love the idea of a sketchy park and it's pretty well done I laughed a lot it's not the best movie but I loved it

This movie had laughs and Jackass stunts everywhere and was almost as good as Bad Grandpa. Stunts were all mostly real and nothing seemed forced. Knoxville is a national treasure.

There's a deeply flawed but somewhat charasmatic charm to Action Point and it's inhabitants....but it's just not funny. It's suprising to see so many writers attached and still have failed attempts to interject a couple of scripted jackass scenes. For all it's flaws I still see an audience for this one....I just can't help but be reminded of the missed opportunity.

Fun because of Johnny Knoxville.

"Action Point" is an unpleasant experience from start to finish. When I heard about the premise of this movie, all I expected were some dumb laughs. However, this movie really didn't have any. It's not funny and the story isn't engaging at all. I didn't care about the characters or the central conflict in the movie and it felt very sloppily put together. Even though this movie is short, it takes forever to get through it. If you find people crashing into things funny, maybe you'll find some enjoyment in it, but if you need a little more substance than that, I would definitely skip this movie.

In Knoxville's, interesting, movie career I have never witnessed him purposefully try to play anything safe. This film represents everything wrong with shock humor played safe, yet its garbage still is at minimum borderline creepy. This is a waste of money and time and I truly can't imagine why any studio let this film see light. The fact anyone got paid for this is mind numbing.
