Ouch.

Observer (UK)

An alcoholic bear certainly made me crack a smile. But the subplot involving DC's attempts to bring up his 14-year-old daughter is a saccharine afterthought...

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

You're better off watching the documentary that inspired the film in the first place than watching the film itself.

Action Point doesn't bother with much in the way of a plot.

Action Point is told through flashbacks as Johnny Knoxville dons his Bad Grandpa makeup to tell his granddaughter about the time when he used to run the anarchic theme park of the same name. Too bad the audience is in for the ride too.

The Cinematic Reel

Action Point is as agonizing of a film experience I’ve had all year. A year that has already had its share of agonizing experiences with 50 Shades Freed leading the way. The story of Action Park deserved better and Action Point certainly was not that.

Rated: 1/4

Action Point is Knoxville's The Shootist, or perhaps his Unforgiven. It's kind of a lukewarm movie, but it's also got moments of beauty and melancholy for what it means for those involved.

This movie was great! It was recounting the horrors of Action Park. Yes what happened was bad but retelling the history and recounting the fun that teens back then had at the time, is a great relic of the past. And Johnny Knoxville was the one to do it!

Filme legal pra caramba, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são legais pras caramba, a história é legal e interessante, o elenco é bacana, e poucos ajudam a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, o filme tem cenas boas no Parque de diversões, com tudo isso, eu recomendo muito esse filme vale a pena assistir.

It was ok overall, a little disappointing as it was just more juvenile humour like jackass with a few laughs in it, but it was a good idea based on a true story that had potential

Action Point is a boring film. It is about a daredevil designs and operates his own theme park with his friends. Johnny Knoxville and Eleanor Worthington-Cox give disappointing performances. The screenplay is badly written. Tim Kirkby did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.
