Summary: Funny at Times, But Not As Good As It Should Have Been
Review: I am not a huge fan of the show. I watch it occasionally for a few laughs, and I thought the movie would be even better. Perhaps my hopes were too high for the show. The opening shot with the whole cast in one HUGE shopping cart, with Caramina Burana playing in the background briefly confirmed my hope that this movie was going to be awe-inspiring. What did I get? An average uncensored episode of the TV show. Oh well.

Summary: Stupid..but funny as hell.....
Review: Johnny Knoxville and his crew of crazy out of their mind lunatics bring their crazy and at time stupid stunts to the big screen in this feature adaptation of the popular but controversial MTV series Jackass. A crew of young men perform a variety of strange, painful, and often humiliating stunts for the amusement of themselves and those around them. The openning scene is a classic but funny... with the entire Jackass crew in a huge oversized shopping cart with a gladiator like theme song being played while bricks come flying at them out of cannons at high speed...it's a perfect beginning and with Knoxville always saying " Hi I'm Johnny Knoxville and welcome to Jackass" Some of the stunts: Electro-shock pads to numerous parts of their bodies, Crawling across dozens of mousetraps while wearing rodent make-up, Being rolled down bowling lanes on skateboards, Racing and jumping hills in golf carts across an ancient driving range, Giving themselves self-inflicted paper cuts ( OUCH), Making snow cones out of urine (and eating it), Tightrope walking over live alligators (while having raw meat strapped to themselves), Using ( which means taking a Sh** in..) uninstalled sanitary plumbing in a hardware store, Snorting Wasabi- horse radish sauce (HOT), Terrifying Japanese pedestrians while wearing panda costumes, Dancing around in a g-string on the streets of london & tokoyo, Waking Bam's parents with fireworks in the house! But the finale is the stunt you have to see to believe it involves one of the Jackasses...a toy car...and his a** and an x-ray and i'll leave the rest to your imagination. Johnny Knoxville, the show's creator and star, returns to head up this movie version of Jackass, along with his partners in crime...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.
-If you want a serious documentary that makes you think.
*I absolutley advise you to skip this movie*.....
-But if you want a movie that is digusting and weird and funny as hell ...
Than this is the movie for you....
Jackass 5 *****stars

Summary: Sorry,but the series was better
Review: I just got through watching this rental about 5 minutes ago...
I'm really,REALLY glad that I didn't pay full price to see this at the movies. I loved Jackass when it was on MTV..... but the movie just didn't make me laugh nearly as hard;in fact I kinda felt sorry for Knoxville and the gang.I feel like everyone was trying so hard to be explicit,that they forgot about being funny.In several skits you can almost tell that they are forcing themselves to laugh alot at stuff that's only mildly amusing. However there were some funny parts,all be it far and few inbetween:the night pandas skit,Wee Man in the cone,the golfers
and of course hearing Bam's dad cuss during the fireworks!By the way there SHOULD have been ALOT more Wee Man,and ALOT less of that one guy dancing as the male stripper.I can't think of his name,but he's my least favorite of the Jackass crew.Seeing that skit one time...maybe...would be funny...kinda...... BUT SIX TIMES!?Have the fast forward button on your remote handy. Some of the stunts were a little too hardcore for me A.K.A papercuts,baby croc clamping on a nipple,syringe to the back of the head,and shark stuck to arm.Also you can only think it's funny so many times to see someone throw up...then it just gets old.Lastly,I like nudity in my movies....FEMALE NUDITY! Why was there so much male nudity??Sorry but I don't,nor would I ever want to see THAT much of a Jackass.They could've at least hired a couple babes to take off their tops and even things out!It's almost like some of these guys are bisexual or something... Even with the "bonus footage" this DVD is not that great.Save your money and buy seasons 1 and 2 on DVD.They're alot funnier.

Summary: sick, but I loved it
Review: This movie is an emotional roller coaster!! At one moment you might feel ill because you witnessed something gross, the next moment will be laughing your butt off. Its immoral, disgusting, degrading, profane, BUT I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!! (should not be viewed by young children though, maybe not even older children *LOL) This movie will surely manage to offend many people, including the not easily offend able, that is why I give it high marks. It is also actually funny, no jay leno humor here folks. If you laugh at others misery, like your neighbor stepping on a fiery paper back full of poop, then you might like this. Not for the weak stomached or hearted...

Summary: I laugh harder every time I watch it!
Review: If you love disgusting bathroom humor, this is the greatest movie ever made. (However I have seen some things on the show that were far worse that what was in this movie) Basically if you are a Jackass fan this movie will not disappoint you. I have watched it 5 times already and laugh harder and harder every time I see it. The extra stuff is even better than the movie.. the commentary is hilarious because the guys just let loose and say whatever they want. The "making of" segment had me crying with laughter.

Summary: Should have come with Vomit bags.
Review: Not for the easily offended
This movie convinced that the MPAA is braindead. It should have gotten an NC-17 rating. What makes me even more upset is that this movie made so close to my hometown. It has given the area much unwanted publicity. To be fair I watched the movie before writing this review. Though many in their late teens to mid 20 will like this, if you like south park you still may be offended by this.

Summary: 1/2 a star for occasional humor, 1/2 for daring.
Review: Summary:
A bunch of guys - obviously getting paid - do all of the super-stupid stuff that teens and young men in their early twenties dream up when they are drinking, including: giving themselves paper cuts between their toes, running around in public in thongs, playing bumper cars with golf carts, sticking stuff in their butts, etc. My Comments:
Well, it says something about our society that a film like this can not only be made but be produced on a large scale. And, not to put myself above the criticism, it obviously says something about me that I would watch something as remarkably stupid and disgusting as this film was. Anyway... To start, there is not story, so don't go into the movie thinking that there is one. It is just a collection of guys doing stupid things. As noted above, I did give the movie one star - half for being occasionally funny, the other half for being remarkably daring. Some of the stuff they do really is pretty funny and it's hard not to laugh. Some of the stuff they do is rather daring, and at least deserves recognition of it, despite often combining daring with stupidity. But most of what they do is, well, disturbing. As much as I like action films, even war films, knowing that the violence is fake alleviates a lot of my non-sympathetic repulsion. But watching these guys intentionally inflict pain on themselves nearly made me vomit at several points. Self-inflicted pain, no matter how repulsive, is just plain stupid. But inflicting discomfort or pain on others is, well, inappropriate at best. When other people were somehow harmed, be it emotionally or physically, by the pranks/stunts, I really didn't find it funny. One instance stands out where the guy in the thong sits down at an Asian fortune teller's booth then jumps up, rips off his clothes, and starts pushing his crotch against the fortune teller. I may have found it funny if the fortune teller would have beaten the pulp out of the guy as he no doubt deserved it; but instead, the fortune teller becomes remarkably uncomfortable, as most well-adjusted people would. I also felt bad for the parents of one of the members of the groups who were continuously the butts of their son's jokes. I didn't find most of what was done to them to be funny (especially the toilet scene where the father is haphazardly beaten and stripped naked). As one of the people that I watched this film with repeatedly pointed out, there is a lot of male nudity in this film. Maybe that appeals to some people, but I'm sure it isn't a draw for most. It certainly didn't improve my opinion of the film. Not to be sexist, I don't think I would have found female nudity in these situations to have been at all more alluring. When people respect their bodies and treat them accordingly, I find that beautiful - regardless of the gender. Most of the stunts involving nudity didn't necessitate it and involved abuses to the human body - not very beautiful in my opinion. Overall, the movie is very disturbing. If you spent/spend a lot of time fantasizing of crazy things to do (most likely as a drunken young man as almost all of the people in this film were), then you will probably find this movie to be humorous. Otherwise, I would highly suggest you stay as far away from this movie as is humanly possible.

Summary: Follow the bouncing rating!
Review: I think it's pretty safe to assume that we all know the general theme in the show/movie Jackass. It's just like anything that's offensive. If you don't like seeing things like people throwing up or being generally stupid, you won't like this movie. Don't try and fool yourself by watching it thinking, "I hate the show, but maybe I'll like the movie."
For those who can read all the reasons why this movie was rated "R" and feel they won't be offended or grossed out seeing such things, you'll love this movie. Unlike the show where they occationally take a short break to show skateboarding clips, the movie never takes a break. I found myself slightly nautious at times, not because of the content, but because I laughed so hard my stomach went from hurting to nautious.
For those who don't own TV's and have never seen Jackass, the general concept is this. Have you ever been sitting around and thought to yourself, I wonder what would happen if I ________? Or, have you ever said to your friend, I dare you to ________? Jackass is a bunch of guys who fill in the blanks and do them. Why? Because the get paid a ton of money to act dumb, laugh, and not work regular jobs. Also known as what most people refer to as a "dream job."
Unlike the show, this movie has very little repetition. You don't see the same joke done about 5 times throughout the show, making the movie only that much more better.
Jackass is hilarious. No way around that fact. As long as you're not easily offended, you'll agree. The only stupid thing about the Jackass phenomenon are the [people] who know what the show is about, see it, and then refuse to shut up about how horrible it is. It's like anything offensive. If you don't like it, don't watch it. If you claim you didn't know it was going to be offensive... Move to France.

Summary: Only the weak can't handle this!!!
Review: All the people who gave this a bad rating are either weak, or have no sense of humour at all. This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life!! It does have some nasty things in it but it just makes it much more funnier. I can't explain every segment because well other reviewers already done that, but this has ultimate replayability. Some scenes you have to watch in slow motion to believe!! Don't be eating when watching this type of film, that's the best advice I can give you. People that are offended by everything they see shouldn't watch this movie. People who can't take reality shouldn't watch this movie, give us a break this is as entertaining as the next comedy, even more so. This is definately one of the funniest movies of our time! It doesn't have to make you think to be funny, it's right in front of you!! My favorites are the yellow snow cone, the wasabi-snooters, the mouse traps, the tightrope walk and the muscle stimulator. Those are just my favorites but most of them are worth watching.
