 "It's so laddish and juvenile, only teenage boys could possibly find it funny."
-- The Wolf, IOFILM.CO.UK
"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."
-- Scott Weinberg, EFILMCRITIC.COM
"This isn’t a movie; it’s a symptom."
-- Brian Webster, APOLLO GUIDE
 "I like it. There is a freedom to watching stunts that are this crude, this fast-paced and this insane."
-- Ian Waldron-Mantgani, UK CRITIC
"My oh my, is this an invigorating, electric movie."
-- Phil Villarreal, ARIZONA DAILY STAR
"Insanely hilarious! I haven't laughed that hard in years!"
-- John Venable, SUPERCALA.COM
"Like being trapped at a perpetual frat party...How can something so gross be so boring?"
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION
"Yes, I have given this movie a rating of zero. But fans of the show should not consider this a diss. Consider it 'perfection.'"
-- Jim Slotek, JAM! MOVIES
"Perhaps the grossest movie ever made. Funny, though."
-- Chuck Schwartz, CRANKY CRITIC®
"The name says it all. Jackass is a vulgar and cheap-looking version of Candid Camera staged for the Marquis de Sade set."
-- Steve Rhodes, STEVE RHODES' INTERNET REVIEWS
"Call me crazy, but which would you rather see: Tom Cruise pretending to be scared, or Steve-O actually terrified (of a large alligator)? Vin Diesel grunting the F-word, or Bam Margera conning his mother into saying it (with a large alligator)?"
-- Jon Popick, PLANET SICK-BOY
"Where Tom Green stages his gags as assaults on America's knee-jerk moral sanctimony, Jackass lacks aspirations of social upheaval."
-- Mark Palermo, COAST (HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA)
"To say that this vapid vehicle is downright doltish and uneventful is just as obvious as telling a country skunk that he has severe body odor."
-- Frank Ochieng, MOVIE EYE

"Candid Camera on methamphetamines."
-- Scott Von Doviak, FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM
"Este é apenas mais um (longo) episódio do programa da MTV. A única diferença é que, desta vez, a Paramount teve o mau gosto de exibi-lo nos cinemas."
-- Pablo Villaca, CINEMA EM CENA
"Embarrassed myself about laughing out loud multiple times, I found myself enjoying the movie much more than I ever enjoyed the TV show...and these pseudo-homo-erotic stunts."
-- Michael Szymanski, ZAP2IT.COM
"The film jolts the laughs from the audience--as if by cattle prod."
-- Christopher Smith, BANGOR DAILY NEWS (MAINE)
"Really dumb but occasionally really funny."
-- Steve Simels, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"As much as I laughed throughout the movie, I cannot mount a cogent defense of the film as entertainment, or even performance art, although the movie does leave you marveling at these guys' superhuman capacity to withstand pain."
-- Rene Rodriguez, MIAMI HERALD
"Too often, the viewer isn't reacting to humor so much as they are wincing back in repugnance."
-- Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM
"Our culture is headed down the toilet with the ferocity of a frozen burrito after an all-night tequila bender — and I know this because I’ve seen 'jackass: the movie.'"
-- Jonathan R. Perry, TYLER MORNING TELEGRAPH (TEXAS)
"The most amazing super-sized dosage of goofball stunts any "Jackass" fan could want."
-- John Oliver, KATRILLION.COM
"...Jackass is certainly one of the funniest movies
of the year..."
-- David Nusair, REEL FILM REVIEWS

"Like a documentary version of Fight Club, shorn of social insight, intellectual pretension and cinematic interest."
-- A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES
"Jackass: The Movie is a disgusting, repulsive, grotesque spectacle, but it's also hilarious and provocative. God help me, thumbs up."
-- Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER
"Critics need a good laugh, too, and this too-extreme-for-TV rendition of the notorious MTV show delivers the outrageous, sickening, sidesplitting goods in steaming, visceral heaps."
-- Michael Rechtshaffen, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Belongs in the too-hot-for-TV direct-to-video/DVD category, and this is why I have given it a one-star rating."
-- Jennie Punter, GLOBE AND MAIL
"Witless, pointless, tasteless and idiotic."
-- C.W. Nevius, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"I'm not sure which will take longer to heal: the welt on Johnny Knoxville's stomach from a riot-control projectile or my own tortured psyche."
-- John Monaghan, DETROIT FREE PRESS
"Made by jackasses for jackasses."
-- Tom Maurstad, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"Plotless collection of moronic stunts is by far the worst movie of the year."
-- Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST
"It's plotless, shapeless -- and yet, it must be admitted, not entirely humorless. Indeed, the more outrageous bits achieve a shock-you-into-laughter intensity of almost Dadaist proportions."
-- Joe Leydon, VARIETY
"It's funny, as the old saying goes, because it's true."
-- Ed Halter, VILLAGE VOICE

"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."
-- Greg Muskewitz, EFILMCRITIC.COM
