Jackass Forever is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and fans are over the moon. Who would have thought a Jackass sequel in 2022 could garner this kind of public approval. The platform reported that their Tomatometer sits at 81% on the audience side of things this week. That means that the newest entry of the MTV seriesย ranks higher than some beloved franchises’ latest entries when it comes to fans. Luckily for Johnny Knoxville and the crew, there might be a path to another entry at some point in the future. (If they can stomach this kind of pain as they ageโฆ) For now, director Jeff Tremaine and his team have to be ecstatic about how Jackass Forever has gone so far. There are a number of factors to consider when you look at this kind of popular reception. It certainly didn’t hurt to have the movie come back in the midst of a massive mid-2000s nostalgia wave.
