Incorrect.

Slapstick comedy is not the same as sticking a firecracker up your @$$.

Slapstick comedy is actually funny.

Seems interesting, but i wish they leave the classics alone!

Aside from Sean Penn (whom I loathe) I think that this could be good; "could" being the key word. Jim Carrey and Benicio del Toro are fantastic actors IMO.

I don't agree that Jack Black could play Curly; I just don't see it.

I think it's a bit more than slapstick to the genius of the Three Stooges, "Don't you know they speak vaudevillian." -Frank Black (Two Reelers)

While everyone may not enjoy a movie like Jackass doesn't mean it doesn't fit the meaning of slapstick comedy.

Websters Dictionary- comedy stressing farce and horseplay
Wiki (I know not the best resource)- Slapstick is a type of comedy involving exaggerated extreme physical violence or activities which exceed the boundaries of common sense, such as a character being hit in the face with a heavy frying pan or running into a brick wall. These hyperbolic depictions are often found in children's cartoons (such as Tom and Jerry, Road Runner...), light film comedies aimed at younger audiences. Though the term is often used pejoratively, the performance of slapstick comedy requires exquisite timing and skillful execution.

neither of those explinations fits what jackass is. jackass doesn't require any timing, exquisite or not, nor any skillful execution. any moron can staple his junk to his leg...no timing or skill involved there, just a tolerance for pain.

After what Heath Ledger managed to pull off with The Joker in The Dark Knight, I'm willing to reserve judgement on ALL casting choices made in Hollywood for ALL productions until I see some actual captured footage!
