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!

really funny movie about an amusement park with no safety regulations at all. everyone does drugs and gets drunk and has the time of their lives. no real point to the story but its pretty funny and it was just a good time.

Don't think about Jackass if you are. You will be let down. Not what was planned to be, but what is. Although the story is hazy and the movie is goofy, if you can enjoy it for what it is. And I have no doubts about that.

I like Jackass style stunts, and I like theme park history, so I had fun with this movie. It's inarguable that the actual history of the real Action Park is far more interesting than this movie, hell this fictional take doesn't even go into some of the more outrageous points, but this narrative version of the parks final days is still a fun ride led by a surprisingly charismatic Johnny Knoxville.

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

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.

David Gonzalez

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.

...a well-worn premise that's employed to mostly watchable yet hopelessly erratic effect by filmmaker Tim Kirkby...
