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.

Reviews for Jackass: The Movie
Top CriticOutrageously obscene and unflinchingly funny.
08/01/03
Top CriticA work of insane genius.
03/04/03
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.
03/25/03
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
It 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
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 CriticI like it. There is a freedom to watching stunts that are this crude, this fast-paced and this insane.
03/16/03
This is compellingly stupid and frequently hilarious, though you may want to bring a sick-bag, just in case.
03/01/03
I like "Jackass" and I make no apologies for it.
10/29/02
This isn’t a movie; it’s a symptom.
11/08/02
My oh my, is this an invigorating, electric movie.
10/25/02
While there is no scientific proof, chances are good your teenagers will leak brain cells by the thousands while watching Jackass. And you might even want to see it with them.
03/22/03
All told, either you get it or you don't.
03/10/03
The film jolts the laughs from the audience--as if by cattle prod.
11/01/02
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.

An inflated and excruciating 85 minutes with barely enough laughs to sustain 10.
