This chaotic, poorly crafted comedy amounts to little more than an endless succession of painful, supposedly amusing, pratfalls.

Johnny Knoxville stars as the owner of a low-rent amusement park in the California of the late 1970s where the constant risk of injury allegedly adds spice to the fun. While entertaining his visiting daughter (Eleanor Worthington-Cox) for the summer, the divorced dad must also contend with a scheming businessman’s (Dan Bakkedahl) efforts to acquire his land and with competition from a more respectable establishment nearby.

Besides being mind-numbingly boring, director Tim Kirkby’s film treats underage drinking as a rite of passage and furtive sex as a sight gag.

Brief but graphic sexual activity, rear male nudity, sexual and scatological humor, about a dozen uses of profanity, several milder oaths, frequent rough and crude language. The Catholic News Service classification is O — morally offensive. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R — restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
