Consensus: There's a good chance you'll be laughing hysterically at one stunt, but getting grossed out by the next one in this big screen version of the controversial MTV show.
Runtime: 88 mins 16 secs
Genre: Television
Synopsis: In what may go down in history as the most irresponsible, outrageous footage ever to be released by a major Hollywood studio, Paramount Pictures presents JACKASS: THE MOVIE. Based on the MTV show... [More]
Starring: Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Steve-O
Director: Jeff Tremaine
For every minute of whimsical diversion such as the crew dancing through the streets of Japan dressed as panda bears, there is another equal dose of something so foul as to offset the laughter with a painful groan
Undeniably, this is terribly crude material, and could very well signal the end of humanity as we know it. But it’s funny.
Maybe the best way to look at Jackass: The Movie is as a piece of conceptual art. How far and low will these guys go? What's the pinnacle of pointlessness?
Embarrassed myself about laughing out loud multiple times, I found myself enjoying the movie much more than I ever enjoyed the TV show...and these pseudo-homo-erotic stunts.
The film jolts the laughs from the audience--as if by cattle prod.
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.
Best wear a helmet and have some fun.
The opening shopping cart scene announces that The Roman Circus Has Arrived. "Jackass" is the sort of spectacle of exquisite sadism that would do Nero proud.
Critics need a good laugh, too, and this too-extreme-for-TV rendition of the notorious MTV show delivers the outrageous, sickening, sidesplitting goods in steaming, visceral heaps.
Top CriticCompared with Jackass, professional wrestling is scripted by Moliere.
I like "Jackass" and I make no apologies for it.
It's plotless, shapeless -- and yet, it must be admitted, not entirely humorless. Indeed, the more outrageous bits achieve a shock-you-into-laughter intensity of almost Dadaist proportions.
Top CriticIt's funny, as the old saying goes, because it's true.
This is akin to The Three Stooges meet The Farrelly Brothers but taken down about a dozen notches or so in terms of intelligence, creativity or imagination.
Candid Camera on methamphetamines.
Honestly, where's the comedy in watching a semi-conscious and bleeding Knoxville wondering out loud if he has a concussion?
I laughed uncontrollably for almost the entire length of the film.
Our culture is headed down the toilet with the ferocity of a frozen burrito after an all-night tequila bender — and I know this because I’ve seen 'jackass: the movie.'
Really dumb but occasionally really funny.
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.
