Capsule Review (Minimal Spoilers):<\/strong><\/p>\n

Action Point<\/a>\u00a0is Johnny Knoxville’s newest comedy. It’s loosely based on New Jersey’s own Action Park, an amusement park where attendees were more involved with their own fun, as compared to most amusement parks. Patrons controlled their own vehicles, and the water park rides were more dangerous. In reality, several people died there from injuries they sustained while on the rides.<\/p>\n

Action Point is a similar park, but the story is about how they kept the par running.\u00a0 It’s entertaining enough, but you don’t have to see it in the theaters. In fact, by the time you read this, it may have already left your local theaters. It’s not entirely memorable, but it’s not awful, and barely memorable.<\/p>\n

It’s rated R, and its runtime is only 1 Hour 25 minutes.<\/p>\n

Standard Review (with minor plot spoilers):<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not going to waste your time here. There wasn’t anything too outlandish or memorable.\u00a0 I didn’t hate it, and I was hoping for more.\u00a0 The introduce an ‘us vs them’ rivalry with a Six Flags knockoff.\u00a0 There are some laughs, but I guess I was hoping more for a story about Action Park as it was. There’s a documentary that pops up on YouTube from time to time, and that’s almost more interesting.<\/p>\n
