Best movie of this year hands down!

good back-story, and good acting

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

VIVA LA BAM This "Jackass" spin off focuses on the (obviously scripted) adventures of Bam Margera and his pals (Johnny Knoxville, Brandon Dicamillo, etc). This show, while it has its fair share of gross-out comedy and crazy stunts, focuses mainly on Bam's torturing of his parents.I'm sorry to say this, Bam, but... you're in no way as cool as you think you are. This ego tripped show is not only painfully unfunny (and yes, I liked Jackass), but also narcissistic beyond belief. The overly stylized intro ends with Bam coolly explaining that he's going to do "whatever the f***" he wants to. How about you do something that is actually funny? I liked "Jackass" for what it was worth. The camera-work was horrible - any idiot could have made a better show with a camcorder in their parents' garage - but at least the show moved at a steady pace and never felt boring between the crazy, dangerous or simply disgusting stunts the pals performed.Not so with "Viva la Bam". We follow our hero around as he plays pranks on his friends and tortures his relatives, but never does it feel like anything else than really lame and scripted comedy. The stunts and pranks are mildly entertaining, but presented in such a tedious and dull fashion that they can barely make you smile."Viva la Bam" is a poor spin-off of that does little good but feed Margera's already too big ego. I don't recommend this lame and unimaginative show to anyone.

The guy who called Viva La Bam juvenile can go to HELL!!!!!!!! Viva La Bam is very entertaining. I mean the whole point of the dam programme is to show how Bam and the rest of the CKY crew are living after the vast success of CKY and Jackass. I mean if you like Jackass you should have noticed that it is mainly the CKY crew with all of the other cast doing less dangerous stunts. They should make more episodes of Viva La Bam and they should also show the Dudesons on TV. People enjoy laughing at other misfortunes, like yesterday when I smashed my balls on a rail attempting to learn how to skate. I mean Viva La Bam has taught many of my peers how to enjoy yourself like I didn't know antiquing was so much fun, people have also leaned that fat bloaters can be used to make strange noises.

"Vive La Bam" is the new trend of MTV's moron shows. True, you can find humor in the antics of people overpaid to hurt themselves and others with the perpetual mentality of infants, which Bam, his crew, his parents, and especially the revolting Don Vito do well. And, you can't seem to promote this show unless you use someone connected to skateboarding...enter Bam Margera. He's funny, the show can be funny, but like Wildboyz, it can get real old, real fast. There's only so much outrageousness audiences can endure before becoming completely saturated in the stupidity and repetition before searching for something new (hence, the reason for MTV's follow-up shows that tried a new generation of Jackass-like amateurs).Bam is a permanently spoiled brat who lavishes the attention that his lackees (Ryan Dunn, Raab, and others) willfully give him as he finds one disaster after another to annoy and prank his friends and family. (Although, no matter how ridiculous things get, Phil always looks like he's enjoying himself). His entire life is a lavish party. The same for his friends and his family (even though "Ape" emptily complains all the time and braindead Don Vito takes pride in being the most devolved person on the planet).I'll admit that there have been a few days where I enjoyed the Vive La Bam marathons, but once you've endured them and become completely saturated in the idiocy, things can get real old real fast. I didn't hate it then, but I find little entertaining about it now (as for the rest of the MTV lineup similar to these like Wildboyz). But what I'd really like to know is--outside of this show--how did Bam Margera become the iconic skateboarder?

Anybody who finds this to be a bad show is either A Completely out of their mind or B Doesn't have a good sense of humor. There is much more to Viva La Bam then Bam going around annoying his parents. It shows how he lives and what he does for fun. Bam happens to do a lot of nice things for his parents. People say he's mean to his parents but hello? He let them live with him! All I have to say is Viva La Bam is a good way to get someone to laugh and yes they do stupid things but guess what!? That's the whole entire point of the show! It's to show what they like to do even if it is completely ridiculous. I think this show is cool because everyone in it does things people have always wanted to try but were kind of scared to try. The show is funny because the people in it do the oddest things all the time. Once again I say if you do not like this show then I think that there is something wrong with you.
