D.C. (Johnny Knoxville) recounts his days as an amusement park owner to his grandchild. In flashbacks, D.C. is living in chaos. He has a drunk bear as his neighbor. His park is operated by a bunch of irreverent loyal teens and his best friend Benny. His daughter Boogie arrives to spend the summer with him. She lives with her mom and has been away from him for awhile. He faces competition from a rival park and pressured to sell to a land developer. Desperate to get more business, he abandons any semblance of safety.

Knoxville does a Jackass movie with a story. His big mistake is to center the story around his character. It's understandable. He's the big name but the emotional center is Boogie. It's the personal drama which supplies heart to the movie and it needs to start with her. It needs to be a movie about a father daughter relationship and everybody knows Knoxville. He is always the same guy. The rest is simply set dressing. Also I would drop the old man makeup and skip most of the modern day scenes. It needs to be a real movie and his makeup is terribly distracting. If he want to do a Jackass movie, he may as well do a Jackass movie. If he wants to do something else, he should avoid overloading on his old tricks and concentrate on doing a good movie.

Action Point is Jackass meets Bad Grandpa.

Johnny Knoxville plays D.C. who tells his granddaughter of his time as an amusement park owner back in the 1970s. The days when kids had dangerous fun and took personal responsibility for their actions.

When a rival park owner opens a theme park nearby, D.C. ups the stakes by removing all the safety precautions from his rides. He also has wild animals running wild in his park. It is a hit with his kids.

A lot of the action looks like a series of tame Jackass style stunts and the film is just one long sketch and it is not a very good one.

For a silly comedy it is not funny and it has been done better.

DC (Johnny Knoxville ) babysits for his granddaughter and tells her about "Action Point" an amusement park without rules that he once owned. It is also a story about the father-daughter relationship. The comedy was mostly slap-stick but it worked fairly well. The humor was "Meatballs" style and had the film come out 40 years and starred Bill Murray, it would have been a comedy classic. It was good for what it was.
