Boston GlobeWesley Morris
What's astonishing is that the movie is not a half-baked production. The spectacle now LOOKS spectacular. Read full review

MovielineStephanie Zacharek
But at the risk of overintellectualizing what probably is, at heart, just a bunch of overgrown guys acting out, I will venture that many of the gags in Jackass 3D show plenty of visual wit, if not brilliance. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
More than ever, Johnny Knoxville and his boys belong to a very elite club of idiocy. They martyr themselves for our diversion, driven at every moment to ask: Are you not entertained? Read full review

Washington PostDan Kois
Jackass is also a touching ode to male friendship at its most primal. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
It's easily the most painful comedy of the year; in the sadomasochistic world of Knoxville and friends, that isn't criticism so much as high praise. Read full review

VarietyJustin Chang
A joyous, liberated approach to comedy, a genuine sense of the grotesque and pacing so relentless that even the less-than-uproarious bits don't overstay their welcome. Read full review

SalonMary Elizabeth Williams
Whether he's getting hit in the face with a dildo or cozying up to Martha Stewart, Knoxville is always affable, playful and able coax a laugh out of an audience by doing ridiculous things. He's a jackass all right, but he's a jackass in shining armor. Read full review

Village VoiceKarina Longworth
Not to put too fine a point on it, but Jackass is only Jackass when all is going to shit. Read full review

TimeRichard Corliss
Knoxville and his team bring a defiant cheerfulness to their venture; the gang's idiocy is both self-aware and somehow innocent. Their gags have the anachronistic simplicity of pre-CGI stunts, when daredevils risked their lives to make an audience go "Wow!" Read full review

Rolling StonePeter Travers
Knoxville and his boys seem to be saying goodbye. To which I can't help thinking, fondly, it's time. Read full review

Time OutJoshua Rothkopf
The 3-D effects, so promising on paper, don't really add much-and, worse, there's a overreliance on slow-motion, which kills the fun. Read full review

SlateDana Stevens
Watching Jackass 3-D was like being plunged into a Hieronymous Bosch painting of hell, yet this very reaction attests to the franchise's primal, diabolical power. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazinePam Grady
The laughs are a little uneven and director Jeff Tremaine does not always take full advantage of the 3D technology, but the movie has enough going for it to satisfy Jackass' legions of fans and make some new ones. Read full review

San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubOct 21, 2010
Jackass 3D has its moments, but it lacks the ingenuity and hilarity of the previous films - no doubt in large part because of the aging process. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterMichael Rechtshaffen
While Jackass 3D can never be accused of stinting on its spring-loaded arsenal of projectile bodily fluids, neither does it approach that sublime, laugh-until-it-hurts level of gross-out nirvana that made the first two installments so darned irresistible. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen Cole
Are any of his stunts funny? Yes, one scene is worthy of Borat and Mack Sennett's Keystone Kops. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
Ten years into the "Jackass" franchise, it's obvious the well is starting to run dry. Then again, if you show Johnny Knoxville an empty well, he'll jump in headfirst. After packing it with writhing snakes. Read full review

The New York TimesManohla Dargis
It just might be that America's favorite jackasses, having played around with sharks in their last big-screen effort ("Jackass Number Two" of course), have this time actually jumped one, and in 3-D no less. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones
At their best, the Jackasses combine low-brow humor with delectable absurdity (one of my favorite gags from Jackass: The Movie had a guy creeping up on a cougar while dressed as a giant mouse), but here it's almost pure punishment. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovOct 21, 2010
Try as they might, the Jackass gang can't quite snatch the year's ultimate 3D gross-out from the pricking jaws of "Pirahna 3-D." Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
It's reductive, insanely violent slapstick, but that's the phenomenon in a nutshell. Read full review

Those Jackasses from "Jackass" aren't getting better, they're getting older. Read full review

New York PostKyle Smith
Oh, and one more thing the comedy of Jackass 3D has in common with "The Divine Comedy": Neither of them is funny. Read full review
