In this comedic documentary, Johnny Knoxville heads a crew of stuntmen, skateboarders and all-around lunatics as they prank, embarrass and torture each other in the name of fun. The antics range from childlike -- the boys don panda suits for a romp through Tokyo -- to grotesque and life-threatening. A golf cart demolition derby turns downright dangerous. Live gators nearly chomp maniac Steve-O. Filmmaker Spike Jonze and Knoxville, in heavy makeup, test the public's patience for the elderly.

Critics Consensus

There's a good chance you'll be laughing hysterically at one stunt, but getting grossed out by the next one in this big screen version of the controversial MTV show.

More idiotic and dangerous than the show. Really.

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

So what's all the fuss about? If people want to staple paper to their inner thighs, let them. The question is whether you're prepared to pay to watch them do it.

I can accept that many find this entertaining, however, I'm just not one of them.

Midwest Film Journal

Superficial shenanigans don't diminish its effect. It's a ridiculously funny barrage of taboo pranks, practical jokes and tests of both social altruism and Bam Margera's parents' patience - most of it failsafed so that the foolishness never subsides.

Rated: 4/4

So very funny simply because pushing the human limits of stupidity is entertaining. Johnny Knoxville and gang are having so much fun you'll feel every nut shot and ounce of pain while laughing along with them.

"Hello, I'm Johnny Knoxville, welcome to "Jackass"!" Yes, this is the entirety of what Jackass is about. Bunch of professionals doing a bunch of stupid things even though they warned the audience not to do any of the stunts that they're doing. This movie had no story to it. It's just Johnny Knoxville and his mates doing random things. A lot of them are a lot of fun apart from one of course like the paper cut. I think Steve-O is the worst of the bunch because whatever stunts he's been doing, they're disturbing but I can't blame him 'cause he's a professional too like all the others. I can't think of any stunts I remember in this movie. they're all fun. While the movie ends, Rip Taylor appears. I literally remember Bam had gotten his mother to say the f word when the alligator is in the house. There were a lot of things I like to talk about but they're appeared to be disgusting, repulsive and grotesque. As much as I love Kenny vs. Spenny, Jackass is the one that'll get you laughing your guts out. The movies and the show itself are the same properties. But if you have friends who love Jackass, Johnny Knoxville gives you a warning that you should not do any of the stunts that you and your friends are about to see. It's not for everyone but those who are interested just be warned.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
