I could watch the infamous McKay-helmed Ferrell short The Landlord on a loop for 93 minutes and laugh myself into hypoxia, as opposed to the nap Impractical Jokers left me craving.

An undistinguished and unnecessary extension of a brand whose primary attributes are likability, authenticity and relative modesty.

Impractical Jokers: The Movie never provides any good reason for its pranks to be packaged in a movie, but it does speak to the fruitfulness of its concept.

The movie is structured differently from "Jackass: The Movie," which was a hilarious array of pranks edited together. Instead, it strings the gags together between a fictional storyline, which doesn't work nearly as well.
