    I've seen two Jackass movies, so I say this is painful to watch compared to anything.

    The Movie Was So Cool. I Have It on Dvd. I Watch It All The Time Because I Think Bam Margera Is So Hot.

    It's tough to talk about this movie without giving anything away, so all I'll say is this: If you are a fan of the TV show, you will LOVE this movie. It takes everything that's great about the show and takes it up two or three notches. What I like so much about Jackass is that the stunts are all good-spirited. All of the participants are yucking it up, laughing at themselves, and things never get negative. Never any hard feelings between the guys, even when they abuse each other. I obviously don't know what the old Vaudville shows were like, but I would imagine that they were a series of short sketches like this movie, designed to get laughs, & that's about it. This movie does an EXCELLENT job of making you laugh, and somehow it's paced quite well. I still can't believe they found a stunt that Steve-O wouldn't do (but trust me, another one of the boyz picked up the slack and pulled it off...or stuck it.....). Just see the damned thing!! I think this one defines the term critic-proof. Expand

    Some chuckles here and there. Other moments are total nauseating grossouts. I loved the roller disco inside the truck swerving out of control stunt. A bit better than "Freddy Got Fingered". At least Johnny Knoxville has an acting future and not Tom Green.

    Why was I the only one laughing at Party Boy? He's in rare form, people!! For a good time, this is a must-see. Expect to see 3 or 4 shows squeezed together, and you won't be disappointed. Whatever you do, stay through the credits.

    This movie had me laughing from beginning to end. I have never laughed so much during ANY movie before. I suspect it is because there is no story to drag it out, just constant pranks. I felt great after the film because I had basically laughed for 80 minutes straight. I would encourage anyone with a strong stomach to see this movie. If you have a delicate constitution, just rent 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' to get close to the number of laughs. oh yeah, don't attempt any of these stunts, jackass. Expand

    Generally horrible, but with some outrageously original cinematic moments. Everyone will be blindsided by the humor in at least one of the skits. Told almost as a documentary about the hapless, it purports to claim the dumb must be tough, but its underlying message is that there is no limit to the dumbness of the tough. It is clever and inventive, but I don't consider it a movie of critical consequence just because it was released on film stock. The fact that it's generally offensive is completely besides trhe point. It's an assemblage of video clips, period. Expand

    Many people rate this movie low because of the idiocy in it, and the nude guys on a crosswalk. But this movie was created for the sole porpouse of laughs. Seeing these guys make complete fools of themselves and become seriously injured in front of a shocked crowed is funny. It may be stupid with nothing to that is suspenceful,scary, or unreal, but who cares? It was made so everybody could get a good laugh. Expand

    I was crying 10 minutes into the movie, and, a day later, my cheeks still hurt from laughing so hard. See it early to experience it in a full theater - this beat out American Pie for the most collective gasps and screams I've ever heard in a crowd. It's not as hardcore as the Steve-O videos, which is a good thing. And wait till the house lights come up before you leave.

    I have never laughed so hard and for so long in a theater before. Critics dont understand why this movie is funny because they are old and over the hill. Exception for a few. But anyway, I loved the TV show, and the movie is better. I remember looking at my watch and before I knew it after laughing my ass off, it was over. Ill have to say girls do also enjoy this movie, but they have to be the right type of girl. I went with a couple and they found it as funny as I did. If you find what they do on the show funny, absolutely dont even ask youreself twice, go buy or rent it. Expand

    A really funny movie, the FIRST TIME. But those who have seen it in theatures, and liked it, and decide to rent it/buy it, you will NOT like it at all a 2nd time. It is more of a see-one-time-only movie.

    I never believed in dumbing down. I always thought it was a cheap way of absolving yourself from blame, to point at some aspect of the mass media and blame it for making everyone stupid. But, I thought, surely no one show, or film, or cassette tape, can lower standards? The people have to let these standards be lowered consciously, to an extent? No, I never gave much credit to the "Dumbing-Down" ethos. Then "Jackass: The Movie" came along. Followed shortly after by the Four Horsmen of the Apocalypse. Expand

    Humor, cave man style! I cannot believe how incredibly funny Jackass: the move was. Although you find yourself saying "please don't" you can't help but laugh at Knoxville's crew. This movie is crude enough to force a group of 15 Mormons to leave the theater only after 30 minutes, they should have known that this wasn't a "God's Army" type of film. I am not bashing the Mormonistic ideals, but they should have known what they were getting into. Jackass: the movie hurt my stomach from laughing so hard. If you want to laugh 80 minutes straight see this movie. Expand

If you didn't like the TV show, what made you think you�39;d like the movie? I dug the TV show, and this was MUCH better. For some huge laughs, see this movie.

    The Jackass boys achieve true genius, however, when they take their penance public. Before stunned, inert onlookers, these skate-punk Situationists transform official zones of work and leisure -- office parks, golf courses, bowling alleys -- into arenas of dangerous stupidity to remind us that, in the end, we’re all just meat.

    Audience members are likely to feel like they're right there in the picture, suffering for no reason and trying to pretend it's funny.
  3. At their best, they're closer to the Three Stooges; at their most banal, they're as original as the Red Hot Chili Peppers performing nude with socks on their penises -- It's a hoot.
