Critic Reviews

Paul Malcolm

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.

Pete Vonder Haar

One of the funniest films I’ve seen all year. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Provokes a suspense halfway between comedy and horror. I'm not sure if I enjoyed myself, exactly, but I could hardly wait to see what I'd be appalled by next. Read full review

J.R. Jones

Unfortunately I can't give this a thumbs-up or thumbs-down; I haven't yet developed an aesthetic that will accommodate a guy firing a bottle rocket from his ass. Read full review

Dana Stevens

Like a documentary version of "Fight Club," shorn of social insight, intellectual pretension and cinematic interest. It also offers a supremely literal-minded version of slapstick. Read full review

Joe Leydon

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. Read full review

Jack Mathews

This is the biggest lowdown, rotten, disgusting, depraved sideshow in the megaplex. Check your brains, your taste and your self-respect right over there with the bearded ticket taker. Read full review

Jackass might not be the most intelligent movie but there something of genius about it. It takes some of the dumbest things we can do and turns them into something that will make you fall over in laughter.

Watching these guys pull off these hilarious stunts, pranks, and skits is an absolute blast. At times the things these guys do to themselves and each other can be disturbing, gross, and just plain lacking in intelligence, but it's consistently one of the funniest movies I've ever watched. IWatching these guys pull off these hilarious stunts, pranks, and skits is an absolute blast. At times the things these guys do to themselves and each other can be disturbing, gross, and just plain lacking in intelligence, but it's consistently one of the funniest movies I've ever watched. I laughed through the entire thing even when it was making me cringe. Why these guys enjoy hurting themselves so much is beyond me. Even weirder is how the somehow manage to make it funny. All I know is that it is a laugh riot and therefore I can recommend it.… Expand

The most shocking, gross, hilarious, original and simple movie of the 2000's. You have to admire that these guys made a living doing this, if I had the chance I would totally do most of the sh*t to get money, wouldn't you?

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 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

This movie is the film adaptation of a shameful American television series where crazy people make things even more crazy, and seem happy about it. Directed by Jeff Tremaine, is starring Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius and others whom I cannot call actors, or artists, in orderThis movie is the film adaptation of a shameful American television series where crazy people make things even more crazy, and seem happy about it. Directed by Jeff Tremaine, is starring Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius and others whom I cannot call actors, or artists, in order not to insult, thus, the real actors and artists from any country.

Unfortunately, film is more of an industry than an art today. And when money speaks louder than judgment or logic, it happen these shameful and unfortunate films, that should never have even been imagined. Not worth wasting my time to analyze what went wrong in this movie because EVERYTHING went the hard way that could run. This is not a movie, isn't worthy of these name. It's garbage, pure waste of time for those who see it and worse, it had sequelae! It's like those pests that affect plants and never come out of there!

When trying to see this film (I couldn't for more than ten minutes, I think we need to be totally devoid of intelligence to be able to see it completely!), I found myself reflecting on the decay of the human race. We are at a time when we could be all, achieve knowledge as never had and improve our behavior through more human and beneficial values. But we are wasting these opportunity choosing to worship the idiocy and stupidity. This film, and all that followed, is proof of that. I hope that Darwin is right and natural selection do its job properly, for the good of humanity.… Expand
