Summary: "This isn't going to work." "... It might."
Review: Let me start off by saying after I saw this movie in the theater I was blown away by what I had just seen, this is the greatest movie I have ever seen. I bought the DVD a few days ago and watched the movie again, unlike most movies, I could watch this movie a billion times and it would still be great. Favorite skits include "the shoplifter", "the gong", "golf course airhorn", and "golf cart antics". The extra features are awesome too. There's 27 minutes of extra footage, some of which are funnier than some of the skits in the movie. There's outakes, a making of, and commentary by the directer, cinematographer and Johnny Knoxville, and another by the rest of the cast. Buy this movie.

Summary: The best anti-depressant on the market!
Review: I'm not going to spend an hour writing a review here. Personally, I don't like spending on DVDs because I think it's trully a waste of money. But in this case, "Jackass the Movie" is an exception. It's pure and solid entertainment, and you just can't find anything better out there. These guys put their lives on the line (like that J. Knoxville vs Butterbean classic bout). I hope they'll find the craziest stuff ever for a Jackass the Movie part 2 somewhere in the near future.

Summary: They live up to "Jackass"es
Review: When I saw this is the movie theater I laughed so hard I swear that I had a six pack for a day from the laughing. It was non-stop hilarious stunts.I bought the DVD because it was so funny however it's not one of those movies you can watch all the time or with everyone. There are quite a few gross parts (ie: a fat mans ..., vomiting....) The DVD is packed with more stunts that weren't in the movie, music videos (but not good ones), and a few other small things. Bottomline: It's definately a funny movie. If you are a boy between 14 (wouldn't recommend it for younger kids) and 25 you will LOVE jackass. If you are just a person who enjoys watching people hurt themselves and make fools of themselves you will laugh your ... off. However if you find that immature it's not a movie you will like. Knoxville and his crew do a good job of doing dumb stuff but still being funny not just dumb.

Summary: The title says it all
Review: Call it Truth in Advertising. Nobody who sees this movie can claim they weren't forewarned as to the content. This is humor reduced to its most crude and basic level as a gang of complete jackasses resort to a series of stunts, gags, and practical jokes that accept no bounds when it comes to bad taste in pursuit of a laugh. A typical scene is one where two of the Jackasses find new ways to play with bottle rockets. One, wearing only a thong, inserts the stick end into his rear (this distinction being worth pointing out inasmuch as, with this crew, it's entirely conceivable for them to insert it to fire in the opposite direction) and lights the fuse while the other stands waiting nearby, the rocket tied to his, uh, member with some dental floss. Needless to say, you won't see stuff like this on PBS, and if your tastes in humor run more toward Woody Allen or Garrison Keillor, you might want to give this movie a pass. As for the rest of us, it's really a question of how high your threshold for watching humiliating, disgusting, or painful behavior happens to be. My own reaction was mixed. Some of it was too much, most notably the Yellow Snow Cone and the Hardware Store Toilet scenes, the latter was so gross that the cameraman started barfing (all dutifully recorded on film, of course). Others, like the Riot Gun Ammo and Paper Cut scenes, seemed to "celebrate" the ability to withstand pain as opposed to actually being funny. Some struck me as just dumb, including most of the Japan footage. Still, there was plenty of good stuff, my favorites being the Golf Course Air Horn, the Alligator in the House, and Tropical Pole Vaulting. Some stuff, like Waking up Dad at 1 AM with a barrel of exploding firecrackers, then doing a repeat a few hours later in his van as he's about to leave for work, succeeds by virtue, not of cleverness but sheer, mindless audacity and others, like a five second shot concerning a Jackass, a mini-trampoline and a ceiling fan, work because they're completely unexpected. It must also be noted that the DVD offers up real value, both in the form of deleted scenes, many of which are better than the ones that were left in, and in the two accompanying commentary tracks featuring the filmmakers and the Jackasses themselves. The bottom line is this movie is all about reveling in pure mayhem and wretched excess, so don't look for any Oscar worthy acting or direction, since the only awards these guys are likely to qualify for are the Darwin Awards.

Judged by "normal" movie standards: 6/10

Summary: Jackass: love it or hate it.
Review: With the series cancelled because of moronic senators, brainless parents, who find it easier to blame others than themselves for their kids lighting themselves on fire (seriously is it that hard to teach little billy that lighting yourself on fire is a bad idea) they decided to take it to the large screen with stunts even funnier and more outragious than the show. Jackass the movie is really a split down the middle. You either love it or hate it. I found the movie was as funny if not funnier than the show, (although the cky video's are even funnier). With stunts like the rent-a-car smash up derbie, and the golf carts, it made me laugh and repulsed others. Even the urine snow cone had it's charm, (even though it still haunts me)there is also a lot of stuff that is so outragious that you will not believe how crazy those guys are. Anyway I highly reccomend Jackass the Movie, and you should also check out the cky video's.

Summary: The funniest I'ver seen
Review: Words really can't explain how I feel after I watched this movie. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to collapse on the floor. The MTV show was great but very limited to what they could show on national television. The movie was a great way to let them do what they wanted. After bringing home I popped it in and surprisingly my parents got the biggest kick out of it. These guys went to EXTREME measures especially the stunt with the little toy car. They practically do wjhatever pops into their head. They can turn the simplest thing into the wackiest stunt and you will lose 10 pounds laighing so hard.I am not giving away anything from this movie you just have to see it for yourself. Need to brighten someone day, show them this movie and that will change them around.

Summary: Watch this DVD with caution.......
Review: If you're already a fan of the Jackass show on MTV, then you're probably already conditioned for the content offered in this movie. Of course, being a major motion picture, more explicit material can be shown without the censoring and it is. If you've never watched Jackass material, then this would be a baptism by fire, so to speak. A lot of the content in this movie is, no doubt, very hilarious and worth the look. But, you should also be warned that some of the skits and stunts are crude or gross or tasteless, depending on your views. I would estimate that about two-thirds of the movie is genuinely funny material that doesn't cross the line too badly. The DVD also offers some good extra content that makes it worth while. There are quite a few outtakes and additional stunts offered with lots of commentary also by the actors and crew. In good faith, I cannot honestly recommend this movie to everyone because it really isn't for everyone. But, if you're willing to give it a shot or you're a Jackass fan, then it is recommended because you're going to laugh until you hurt and you won't be disappointed. Overall, a worthy production by the Jackass crew in their first major motion picture.

Summary: Three and a Half Stars
Review: Let me begin by saying Jackass: The Movie was exactly what I'd expected it to be. If you have ever seen the television program, then you probably expected the same thing I did: 3 unedited 'episodes' of Jackass pasted together, which is essentially what this film is, aside from far greater production values.
Now let me say what most of America's youth does not want to hear: This movie is not for children. In fact, to be quite honest, as I sat horrified, (but laughing) at sick, twisted stunt after sick, twisted stunt, all I could think about was that that this movie should have recieved an 'NC-17' rating instead of just an 'R.' Not necessarily just because of the strong nudity, violence, and language, but because of the fact that there are too many children in America who will see this film unable to comprehend the border line between reality and entertainment. I don't want to see a kid hurt himself or others, but I also don't want to see a teen walk into a hardware store and defecate into one of the display toilets.
Still, as stupid, and as pointless as this movie is, it's entertaining, even more so than the television show. So if you have a strong stomach, rent it.
DVD extras include two music videos, a 'making of', promo spots, and about a half hours worth of deleted stunts.

Summary: Insane!!!
Review: This movie was funny plain and simple but there were parts for example the part when one of the guys [defecated] inside a plumbing store, Steve-O's ... rockets and the ... snowcone were the funniest bits I had ever seen! This is a must have dvd with outtakes and behind the scenes footage to keep the laughs rolling for nearly an hour after the main feature. Great for after party gags!

Summary: Too much
Review: Although I used to be a Jackass fanatic, it is now too much for me to handle. Call me crazy, but I don't find anything funny about someone [throwing up] repeatedly. I also do not find people running into a variety of things time and time again for hours upon hours.. funny. However if you like things such as that.. I'm sure you'd love this movie. The only part in the movie I found to be hilarious, was when two people dressed up as burglars and fell through a building's ceiling into a group of working people. Well, that was all right, but the part that made it great was the man jumping up and taking off out the building and down the block, while the other people sat there scratching their heads. As for the rest of it.. it was not worth my time.
