Review:
Chances are that if you are sitting in the theater having paid to watch something called Impractical Jokers: The Movie your already a fan of the show. If not, it's a random thing to pay to watch but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed. The movie much like the show is a series of challenges among the four friends with the film adding in a wafer thin plot to the proceedings. The "story" is probably the weakest part of this whole endeavor and ultimately it feels superfluous. This whole concept works because the guys are likable goofs who are constantly ribbing each other during the challenges. The challenges themselves are funny but they really don't feel like anything special that would demand the big screen treatment. As is, this feels more like a super sized extended episode. It'll probably make fans happy and confused at the same time since you'd expect something a bit bigger for the big screen. As is, this doesn't quite reach the heights of something like the Jackass Movies which took the show and amplified to the tenth power.

These guys have done so much good for my family. Being able to sit together every Friday to watch a new Impractical Jokers has been a blessing. These guys had a rough spot for a couple of seasons back in 8 or 9 (?), although we still watched it and loved it. But they are so focused, so funny, and so consistent. Love that they can make us all laugh.
