Reviews for Jackass: The Movie
Witless, pointless, tasteless and idiotic.
10/28/02
As much as I laughed throughout the movie, I cannot mount a cogent defense of the film as entertainment, or even performance art, although the movie does leave you marveling at these guys' superhuman capacity to withstand pain.
10/28/02
Made by jackasses for jackasses.
10/28/02
An inflated and excruciating 85 minutes with barely enough laughs to sustain 10.
10/28/02
I felt like a donkey laughing so hard at such stupidity and I feel like even more of a donkey admitting it in print.
10/28/02
Grotesque, stupid, pointless, and funny as hell.
10/28/02
There’s something wrong with the cast of Jackass, and the simple fact of the matter is that watching people satisfy their masochistic tendencies isn’t fun or funny.
10/28/02
Where Tom Green stages his gags as assaults on America's knee-jerk moral sanctimony, Jackass lacks aspirations of social upheaval.
10/28/02
Strictly for shallow-end-of-the-gene-pool types who find professional wrestling and monster truck shows too sophisticated for their simple-minded tastes.
10/28/02
To say that this vapid vehicle is downright doltish and uneventful is just as obvious as telling a country skunk that he has severe body odor.
10/27/02
Belongs in the too-hot-for-TV direct-to-video/DVD category, and this is why I have given it a one-star rating.
10/27/02
My face still hurts from laughing.
10/27/02
Too often, the viewer isn't reacting to humor so much as they are wincing back in repugnance.
10/26/02
Like a documentary version of Fight Club, shorn of social insight, intellectual pretension and cinematic interest.

Top CriticYes, I have given this movie a rating of zero. But fans of the show should not consider this a diss. Consider it 'perfection.'
10/26/02
I'm not sure which will take longer to heal: the welt on Johnny Knoxville's stomach from a riot-control projectile or my own tortured psyche.
10/26/02
Every bit as disreputable and often as embarrassingly funny as the MTV program, only longer.
10/26/02
Top CriticI'm not sure if I enjoyed myself, exactly, but I could hardly wait to see what I'd be appalled by next.
10/26/02
The bottom line with this movie is really whether or not you think it's all 'dumb and nothing else' or 'dumb and pretty funny'.
