D.C. (Knoxville) is the eccentric owner of Action Point, a low-rent and out-of-control amusement park which features some very dangerous and unsafe rides. As his estranged daughter Boogie (Cox) comes to visit, a corporate mega-park opens nearby which threatens the future of Action Point, and so D.C. and his friends must find a way to save it from going out of business…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Jackass’s Johnny Knoxville stars in this stunt-heavy comedy which sees him branch out into simple storytelling with his usual outrageous – and outrageously funny – sense of humour.
