Critic Reviews

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

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

  • Sheila Norman-Culp, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    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.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

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

  • Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

    Compared with Jackass, professional wrestling is scripted by Moliere.

    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… More
