Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Before the body-threatening antics of Jackass came crashing into public consciousness, there was Ontario's Ralph Zavadil, aka Cap'n Video, who cascaded off roofs into snowbanks, jumped off ladders into half-empty swimming pools, and drank eggs through his nostrils. Beauty Day is a rambunctious documentary about this irrepressible pioneer of local-access cable shenanigans who entertained and outraged viewers in the small city of St. Catharines-until a special Easter Show, featuring a fat rabbit and adorable puppies (none of which were hurt), got him kicked off the air for good. With a nod to Werner Herzog, Cheel follows the life and times of Cap'n Video and finds that the Cap'n is still quite a firecracker.

| sbs.com.auSimon FosterAs one of only a handful of critics that considers the Jackass films to be resonant works of anarchic art (seriously), I was destined to warm to Jay Cheel's Beauty Day. |
| Toronto StarLinda BarnardWhile the TV show highlights are amusing, director Cheel wisely offers glimpses into other aspects of Zavadil's life... |
| User ReviewPeter MA very sensitive and captivating study on the male psychology through the story of Ralph Zavadil |
| User ReviewJason CThe original jackass. This is a great documentary of a great hidden legend. One of 2011's best films. Seek this gem out. |
| User ReviewTom DI've been torn between a 4.5 and 5 star rating, but when it comes down to it, Beauty Day is the funniest documentary I've ever seen. |
| User ReviewJohn BFun documentary about an amateur filmmaker who seems to have invented the Jackass concept in Niagara Region. He is quirky enough to keep our interest which makes it thoroughly entertaining. |
| User ReviewRichard DA bit longer than it should be, but Ralph Zavadil is enormously engaging and very funny. |
| User ReviewWalter CBefore Jack Ass there was a guy who did crazy stunts under the name of Cap N Video. This documentary is about the man, his cable television show and his desire to put together a 20th Anniversary show. |
| User ReviewKristal CA heartfelt portrait of a true child-at-heart, I'd suspect this film will play all the better to someone who is of an age to remember Captain Video back in his heyday. |
