Reviews Counted:91

Fresh:44

Rotten:47

Average Rating:5/10

Consensus: There's a good chance you'll be laughing hysterically at one stunt, but getting grossed out by the next one in this big screen version of the controversial MTV show.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for dangerous, sometimes extremely crude stunts, language and nudity

Runtime: 88 mins 16 secs

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Oct 25, 2002 Wide

Box Office: $64,209,101

Synopsis: In what may go down in history as the most irresponsible, outrageous footage ever to be released by a major Hollywood studio, Paramount Pictures presents JACKASS: THE MOVIE. Based on the MTV show... In what may go down in history as the most irresponsible, outrageous footage ever to be released by a major Hollywood studio, Paramount Pictures presents JACKASS: THE MOVIE. Based on the MTV show of the same name, creators and coproducers Jeff Tremaine, Johnny Knoxville, and Spike Jonze stretch their surprisingly successful concept into a feature-length film. Watch cast regulars Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Bam Margera, Dave England, Ryan Dunn, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, Preston Lacy, Ehren McGehey, and Brandon Dicamillo as they perform a series of ridiculously dangerous and dangerously stupid stunts. Entering a rental car in a crash-up derby, snorting wasabi, eating a urine-soaked snow-cone, self-inflicting paper cuts, and using a store's display toilet are just a few of the increasingly obscene antics that unfurl at a relentless pace. A large portion of the footage finds the pranksters in Japan, dressing up in outlandish outfits and wreaking havoc on the unsuspecting locals. Whether or not this is a hysterical romp or a waste of eighty minutes is for the viewer to decide, but the fact can't be argued, JACKASS: THE MOVIE is slapstick entertainment for the 21st century, incorporating the modern world's fascination with reality television and obsession with disaster into a raucous, electrifying spectacle.

    A work of insane genius.

    It goes without saying that much of this is pathologically puerile, relentlessly unedifying and in dubious taste, but there are more than enough compensating laugh-out-loud moments (for this viewer, at least).

    This is compellingly stupid and frequently hilarious, though you may want to bring a sick-bag, just in case.

    I'm all for the mentally challenged getting their fair shot in the movie business, but surely it doesn't have to be as a collection of keening and self-mutilating sideshow geeks.

    As brainless as the movie incarnations of both South Park and Beavis and Butt-head, Jackass is just as funny as both -- and better than many of the so-called comedies Hollywood produces.

    A mix of hilarious stunts and idiotic pranks that still doesn't compare to what some of the cast members have done in other videos.

    A collection of some of the best physical comedy since Moe first smacked Curly on the head.

    More a surreal experience in the gross and the disturbing than a movie.

    It's basically just a bunch of guys thinking up the stupidest things they can possibly do. And then doing them.

    An unencouraging threefold expansion on the former MTV series, accompanying the stunt-hungry dimwits in a random series of collected gags, pranks, pratfalls, dares, injuries, etc.

    I have rarely laughed as hard as I did at this movie; however, I have also rarely been as ashamed of my laughter as I was here.

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

    If ever there was a movie that used the R rating for all it's worth to do things that could not be done on television, it's this one.

    The name says it all. Jackass is a vulgar and cheap-looking version of Candid Camera staged for the Marquis de Sade set.
