Reviews for Jackass: The Movie
There's no denying that it's pretty vicious humour, and pretty puerile too, but like previously successful purveyors of such past-the-U-bend comedy, its fresh-faced enthusiasm makes it invulnerable to... tired accusations.

Top CriticOutrageously obscene and unflinchingly funny.
08/01/03
Top CriticIt goes without saying that much of this is pathologically puerile, relentlessly unedifying and in dubious taste, but there are more than enough compensating laugh-out-loud moments (for this viewer, at least).
03/04/03
I like it. There is a freedom to watching stunts that are this crude, this fast-paced and this insane.
03/16/03
As brainless as the movie incarnations of both South Park and Beavis and Butt-head, Jackass is just as funny as both -- and better than many of the so-called comedies Hollywood produces.
01/21/03
Top CriticThis is compellingly stupid and frequently hilarious, though you may want to bring a sick-bag, just in case.
03/01/03
So what's all the fuss about? If people want to staple paper to their inner thighs, let them. The question is whether you're prepared to pay to watch them do it.
06/24/06
Top CriticThe Jackass boys show little interest in observing anyone else but themselves.
05/20/08
It's basically just a bunch of guys thinking up the stupidest things they can possibly do. And then doing them.
11/18/02
This is the funniest film of 2002, whether uptight cinema snobs admit it or not.
10/25/02
It's completely inappropriate for children younger than 17, but it still takes someone who relates to his inner 14-year-old to truly enjoy it.
10/31/02
Needs more crashes, fewer bodily fluids, and a shorter running time. while that first half is great, the thoroughly milked premise ultimately takes its toll, and the gross-out gags seem done more out of desperation
08/10/03
Undeniably, this is terribly crude material, and could very well signal the end of humanity as we know it. But it’s funny.
11/02/02
There's no plot to get in the way of the stunts in this 'movie', but it's absolutely hilarious for fans of the twisted show.
10/25/02
This anarchic, inventive, actuarial nightmare is a swell reminder that there are few things more unambiguously pleasurable than sitting in a theater full of laughing people.
10/28/02
The film jolts the laughs from the audience--as if by cattle prod.
11/01/02
I laughed uncontrollably for almost the entire length of the film.
10/28/02
...Jackass is certainly one of the funniest moviesof the year...
10/25/02
It's funny, as the old saying goes, because it's true.
