Johnny Knoxville, the show's creator and star, returns to head up this movie version of Jackass, along with series regulars Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, Steve-O, Dave England, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, Preston Lacy, Ehren McGhehey, and Brandon DiCamillo; Henry Rollins, Tony Hawk, and Spike Jonze are among the movie's guest stars. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    A hysterical and energetic film, but not for everyone as it is quite revolting at times. If your not squeamish and in the mood for comedy you'll love this.

    Jackass humor = my kind of humor. I love everything this gang has ever made, even if some gags are flat-out distasteful. This first film isn't as ingeniously funny (or well-planned for that matter) as number two and three, but it's still very entertaining and has some pretty epic... read more moments.

    The first Jackass film is one of the craziest comedies that I've seen. The big screen debut of TV's hit show, Jackass brings to the screen the cast of professionals from the hit tv show doing what they do best= stupid stunts. In this film they have more liberties to do the stunts... read more that they couldn't do on the show and it delivers in spades. Right from the opening of rent a car crash derby to it's final stunts, Jackass: The Movie is one funny ride. Fans of the show will be pleased because the boys do even more extreme stunts this time around. Sure this is a stupid film, but it's also mindless fun. There are some unfunny bits too here, Preston Lacy and Wee Man were never funny to me and they always do something that doesn't make me laugh. But the rest of the cast deliver the laughs. Jackass is exactly the type of film you watch with friends and you definitely have a few good laughs as you see these guys attempt the stupidest stuff you've ever seen. It's pretty funny how we see grown men do this. Jackass The Movie will never be considered a classic, but it should be seen as a mindless form of comedy, a film thats very entertaining and a lot of fun. For me this is the funniest one of the three films and theres plenty of humourous bits here to not bw bored out of your skull. This is humour at it's lowest form done by the best, and it's guaranteed to make you laugh or make you smile at very least.

    Like most of the Jackass stunts, there is a huge mixed bag of the ones you love, the ones you have to forward through and the ones that you can just shake your head at in wonderment of how they could have possibly thought up some of these stunts.

    This has got to one of the stupidest film I have ever laid eyes on, however it is also one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time. They guys are idiots and the movie is very stupid, but I can't help loving it!

    In no way is it art, but it's an essential part of film history and defines what you consider a movie. It's almost more of a documentary than it is a feature length. You get to see the behind the scenes and disasters behind all the sets. That's mainly why it can differentiate its... read moreelf from the show. It's extremely effective and shows you the relationships between a bunch of friends that do incredibly ridiculous stunts. As a comedy it works too, I defy anyone to not laugh at it.

    This movie isn't meant to make you laugh at a normal comedy movie, but just to laugh at idiots such as the Jackass gang doing the stupidest things imaginable. It is so hilarious, that when I first watched it, I fell out of my seat about 6 times because of laughing so hard. This i... read mores really something to enjoy watching if you want to see a bunch of morons doing crazy stunts and pulling hilarious practical jokes on pedestrians and police officers and stuff, but some stuff might make you vomit. Such as one stunt "The Yellow Snowcone." There you go, enough said. And if you're a strait dude, I'd say, don't watch some of the stuff, because a lot of things in the movie are a little bit on the homo side.

    But this is definitely something to watch when you need a good laugh.

It's not exactly stupid. Cynical might be a better word.

While there is no scientific proof, chances are good your teenagers will leak brain cells by the thousands while watching Jackass. And you might even want to see it with them. Full Review

Jackass: The Movie is a disgusting, repulsive, grotesque spectacle, but it's also hilarious and provocative. God help me, thumbs up. Full Review

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? Full Review

Compared with Jackass, professional wrestling is scripted by Moliere.

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.

Joe Leydon

Joe Leydon, Variety

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. Full Review

It's funny, as the old saying goes, because it's true. Full Review
