I give the movie a 4 for hilarity. But I give this site's review a 0. Very sexist, and slightly racist. I've reviewed movies where the women act kinky, and this site's reviews meantion the kinky themes but never putdown the women for their actions like they do for the men.

What Parents Need to Know
This review of Jackass: The Movie was written by Nell Minow
Parents need to know that this movie earns its R rating due to the excessive display of bodily fluids and use of vulgar language. But there's no MPAA rating that would provide any useful guidance about the movie's inappropriateness for audiences of any age. Parents should know that the movie includes very disgusting and visually explicit gags.

- Families can talk about the difference between innocent slapstick humor and the kind of slapstick found in this film. When do they take it too far? Why would someone put themselves through these stunts? It's also worth discussing the kids who try to duplicate these stunts (despite the warnings) and end up seriously hurt. Are warnings really enough to stop some kids? Do the makers of these films and the MTV show have a responsibility for the safety of others beyond the posted warnings? Why or why not?

More on Jackass: The Movie
What’s the Story?
JACKASS isn't a movie in the conventional sense of the word. There's no story, and there are no characters. It isn't a documentary, because it features stunts created just for the movie. What is it, then? An extended, more explicit version of the popular MTV show in which a group of idiotic guys performs idiotic stunts that involve such things as running around in their underwear and puking. Like the MTV show, the movie doesn't have a plot. It documents the same group of people from the TV show, led by Johnny Knoxville, performing extremely stupid and often very dangerous stunts.
Is It Any Good?
Jackass is an endurance contest for adolescents (and perpetual adolescents) and a comedy for people so bereft of empathy that they think it's funny to see people hurt themselves. When deciding whether to see Jackass, you should ask yourself one question: How enjoyable would it be to watch people abuse their bodies to perform stunts in the most grotesque manner imaginable? If you answered, "highly enjoyable and extremely amusing," this is your movie. Anyone else, however, should run screaming in the other direction.
To give you a taste of the movie's humor, one of the stunts involves a man snorting wasabi up his nose and then proceeding to vomit it out. Another stunt involves a man eating a snow cone -- except that in this case the man has urinated on the snow, and therefore knows he's eating his own bodily waste. Another involves a man using the demo toilet in a store's plumbing display, even though it's not hooked up to any plumbing. Then there are the stunts involving stuffing objects not intended for that purpose into bodily orifices also not intended for that purpose. The most appropriate commentary on the movie comes from a cameraman, who becomes so disgusted that he throws up, which, of course, gets incorporated into the movie. Even for people who enjoy bathroom humor, Jackass wears thin because its unremitting brand of literally painful bathroom humor just isn't funny.

Tons of stunts performed that kids may imitate. It's also pretty gross, definitely not for anyone under 14, even then anyone who has a tendency to imitate should not watch this film.

JACKASS
If you watch MTV, you will find that the movie JACKASS is all about pushing boundaries. Frankly this could have easily been a PG-13 rated film since the nudity is extremely discreet except their rears. The language is obvious since they are basically trying to kill themselves. The humor is stupid funny in which you laugh at the most ludacris idiotic things. I bought this and then sold it at a CD store since I got sick of it in about 2 weeks but it is funny.

So funny....
It was a great show, so why not make a movie. I think it is the best movie this year (or Anger Management either one). You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll say "It is still cool to see people ride in a grocery cart, I'm glad I tried it."

The Worst ever made
This movie should've never been made. It just goes to show that if someone can produce it, it's made. Everything about it is terrible and shouldn't be out there.

It depends...
I loved this movie! People may find MUCH of this movie to be crude but if have strong stomach and a good sense of humor, you can't go wrong with this movie.

It really wasn't as bad as people say
I saw Jackass:The Movie last year, and honestly, I thought it was hilarious. Then again, I am probably the most anti-censorship person I know. Overall it was very funny and appealed to the base emotions. If you're looking to be moved emotionally, don't watch Jackass. It mainly appeals to the non-family audience.

grotesque, replulsive, discusting, horrible, FUNNY!
My friend and I were up late one night and we turned on comedy central, and this movie was playing. We watched it, and it is so incredibly discusting and gross. It is really funny, and kind of enjoyable if you enjoy this type of stuff, but it's pretty gross. It's definately for 17+ or even if you're over 17 you may not want to see it. I liked it though...(kind of)

This movie rulez!
I saw this with my cousins on Comedy Central. This movie is so damn funny. Man all the stunts are so stupid. That's why it's rated R. My fave stunt was when Steve-O shot out an air horn when some guy who was golfing lifted his golf club. That was not rude and very funny. But most of the stunts are disgustingly crude and very, very, very funny. If you're over 12 you can watch the censored version.

When did boys become bad?
O.k. I'm sorry, this isn't much of a review, but look at all the descriptions for the Jackass things on this site. They all say something about "It's all a bunch of immature boys" or "No wonder there aren't any women on here." The basic anti-male stuff. I'm a guy and I actually take great offense to the amount of anti-male sexism in todays world. For example: Try to find one commercial where the guy or dad isn't portrayed as a lazy bum, slob, loser, or just a clueless guy. The guys in commercials are always clueless!! It's insulting- we do more than drink beer.
