Summary: Wow..
Review: Anyone who loves this show is gonna go balistic over this movie. It's basically the same kinda stuff, only more "intense", not being made for TV and all. Laugh a minute with loads of skits..The cone one with WeeMan and Steve-o as the old man shoplifter happen to be my favorites.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Who's the fool?
Review: In Brief

Johnny Knoxville and his crew of crazies take the concept of the MTV show Jackass, that regularly saw a bunch of guys doing dangerous and disturbing stunts just to see what happens, and turns it into a movie. Here they can get away with more than they could on TV, including a climatic stunt of extreme insanity!!

Review

While the extreme sports lifestyle & stunt home movies were the basis that Knoxville and co built upon with an insanity that gave us regular doses of laughter and gross outs, the movie continues in the same vein. This is a film that knows its boundaries and doesn't exceed them. A bigger budget hasn't meant the enforcement of a dodgy storyline or music video excessive style, but just gives the guys a chance to do bigger, better things, not only in the USA but Japan too.

This film is the biggest load of sh*t to have hit the screen in a long time, and its brilliant! It's a film that doesn't care, as it bombards the viewer with a new stunt nearly every 2 minutes. It succeeds in transferring to the cinema in a way that most TV crossovers don't, and is funnier than many of the 'comedies' that have been around recently without even trying to pull a punch line and it certainly doesn't pull its punches either!

The only question that one must raise, is will it be funnier on a second viewing? It may not have a long shelf life, but if you want to see a matchbox car drive where no man has gone before, fireworks launch from someone's rear, or man get beaten up by a girl ;0), the Jackass is certainly one for you!

The Verdict

You can't say too much about this film for fear of spoiling some the best moments it holds. As surprised as I was, the film works, providing a great night out with moments that will have you rolling with laughter. Get drunk, get some mates and see Jackass, but remember 'whatever you do, please don't try this at home!'

Summary: Dumbest movie ever made
Review: This is by far the dumbest movie that I've seen so far. The only things in it that I thought were kind of funny were the parts where Steve-O is trying to go across the pit full of aligators with dead chickens strapped to his butt and the part where Jhonny Knoxville is trying out the rocket skates in the park. All in all I don't recomend this movie, it's just stupid.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Jackass:The Movie plays like Unaired 3 Part Episode.
Review: A Bunch of Guys (Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Jason (Wee-Man) Acuna, Preston Lacy, Dave England & Ehren Mc Ghehey), they play dangerous Stunts, play Practical Jokes on People & doing Sick things to their Unique Brand of Immature Humor that make them Cult Figures on MTV by bringing their First Movie.

Directed by Jeff Tremaine brings their Outrageous Style of Comedy to the Big Screen, which is Surprisingly Funny & Provocative. Although it does play like an Extended T.V. Episode early on, when the fun really starts, the film makes up for it. The Videocassette & DVD has Deleted Scenes, Original (Failed) Ending, Outtakes & a Music Video. DVD has two Commentary Tracks by the Director, Cinematographer & Actor:Knoxville. Second is the Jackass group. At times, the Humor is so Disguisting is Not for the Squeamish. Filmmaker:Spike Jonze (Adapation, Being John Malkovich) has a funny cameo, who disguise himself as a Old-Man in Heavy Make-Up. Jonze is also One of the film`s producers. Grade:B+.

Summary: Jackass: The Movie
Review: What can I say? I love the TV show (one the of the few shows on MTV I actually do enjoy). I loved this movie and I laughed hysterically at it. Why do people find these disgusting and stupid things so amusing? Who knows? Who cares? It's funny. I don't feel as if I need to tell you what's in this movie because you've probably heard and if it seemed extremely disgusting and inhuman for a person to do then it was probably in this movie. The only scene I didn't enjoy was when he urinated on the snow cone then ate it that was disgusting and show of been left out. So should Chris Pontious and Steve-O. Minus the few select scenes that they have in the movie and shows combined I find them more annoying and disgusting than funny. As far as Knoxville, Bam, Wee-man, and the rest of the crew I love them and I hope they come out with another Jackass movie sometime soon. People know exactly what to expect from a movie like this so if you don't like the shows and don't like what you hear why watch it and post a review on it? To me that's as hard to understand as why people think this is funny. Whatever your preference may be (like Jackass or hate it) that still doesn't change the fact that I enjoyed this movie. Am I stupider for having watched it? Yes. Not all movies have to be thought clenching mind wringling Academy Award winners that make you tear at the finally. This movie was funny and if you find comedy in all types of this things then give it a try. You might actually enjoy it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just like the show, only none of the language is censored
Review: This isn't really a movie, it's just a bunch of crazy, funny stunts you won't see on MTV. It's really funny though. Good family entertainment.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Teenagers and Younger Will Love It!
Review: Johnny Knoxville and his gang are nuts and they are "pain-full", painfully funny. Although I rented this and would never consider buying it, there were enough stupid and lame stunts (not to mention dangerous) that kept me amused. Please note that I also am fascinated by car accidents and other similar personal tragedies.

This group of spoiled rich kids does everything and anything an unbridled teenager gang could want to do and gets away with it (money and a victims sudden fame wins out every time). Who would not think that dangling your butt over a crocodile with a dead chicken hanging out is just nuts? Of course, you're intrigued to see if this idiot gets nailed. Renting a car and demolishing it only to return it to the agency claiming no responsibility is adolescent humor. But then the expected reaction from the owners are humorous. Setting off a barrel full of fireworks in Knoxville's parent's bedroom in the middle of the night is shocking. Not that they become frightened - they just stay in bed, seemingly used to this kind of crap (here goes Johnny again). Dad gets a surprise visit by Johnny and gets beat up on his toilet. Mom seems used to alligators in her kitchen as well. I could do without the one guy in his skivvies dancing around Tokyo to freak people out. That was just dumb. However, the list goes on.

This is not a good movie. This is not a high budget movie. This is lowbrow entertainment aimed at young kids and teenagers and it sells. It has merit only for the extremes this group will go to for a "laugh". Consider what you like. If forced paper cuts on your nose and between your toes or self-induced vomiting are your thing, you'll have a blast.

The 'film' Includes one-half hour of extras. It's more of the same. Enjoy, kids.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Funny and Outrageous!
Review: This is the funniest film of 2002, whether uptight cinema snobs admit it or not!
All the Jackasses you love from the MTV series are back performing stunts no one would let them pull on television.
The special features are great on this DVD! The 27 minute additional footage is halarious!! I recommend this to anyone who loves a good laugh or just loves the show Jackass all around!!
***Check it out!!***

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: some good laughs on a crappy pile
Review: why this movie was made thats up for me to find out..but anyways the jackasses are here with more gross out and stupid **it that you may or may not handle and some will find it offensive..idiots will find it funny..because they have no taste whatsoever...the funniest moment would have to be in the beginning where Johnny Knoxville rents a car and then demolishes it and returns it to the owner running away...then it gets into real lame and crappy humor.....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Perfectly Named Movie: "Jackass" Delivers Laughs
Review: "Jackass: The Movie" brings the anctics of Johnny Knoxville and his crew to the big screen in a movie that is really a glorified edition of the MTV "reality" T.V. show. Unlike the limitations they face on the censors of television, this group takes their bizarre combination of reckless stunts and gag humor to a whole new level of shock humor that will leave the audience clammoring for more, even as they reach for a barf bag at some of the "gags" (literally) in this film.

The movie, which runs just a little over 70 minutes, is a little disappointing in its brevity. Many of the shorts within the film (all filmed with a series of hand-held video cameras) are little more than elaborate pranks played on unsuspecting victims. Some of these stunts, such as when one of the boys decides to deficate in a display model toilet inside a hardware store, are downright gross, and nothing is left to the imagination. Others, as when Knoxville rents a car, enters it in a demolition derby, then returns the car later on a flatbed truck, demanding compensation for the rental of an unsafe vehicle, is genuinely hilarious.

The reason for the four star rating is that the movie, which did contain some incredibly funny skits, also meandered some, relying on staples from the television show that really had no business being elevated to the big screen. Also, the movie's shortness of length left the audience wanting for more. Finally, as this is a review of the DVD edition of this film, the last disappointment comes in the fact that the additions of extra footage available on the DVD were pretty disappointing as a whole.

Still, "Jackass: The Movie" won't disappoint. For fans of the show, this movie is the culmination of stunts developed over the several seasons of the show on MTV. For those who have never experienced Jackass, well, put your brain on hold and feel free to laugh at the mindless, outrageous, hilarious anctics of a group of men who really are a bunch of "jackass"es. Its fun in its stupidity, and worth at least a casual viewing.
