Amazon.co.uk Review
Warning from Paramount Home Entertainment (UK): The stunts in this movie were performed by professionals, so neither you nor your dumb buddies should attempt anything from this movie.

Some critics see the success of Jackass: The Movie as the last nail in the coffin of civilisation--and they're probably right. This compilation of pain-inflicting stunts and embarrassing pranks has no artistic merit whatsoever (which doesn't keep it from being freakishly entertaining). Among other things, Johnny Knoxville and his posse get beaten up by a female kick-boxing champion; shoot bottle rockets out of their rectums; run amok in Japan wearing giant panda bear costumes; swim with whale sharks while holding pounds of brine shrimp in their swimsuits; and get done up in realistic old age makeup so that they can race each other in motorized wheelchairs, among other goofs. It's a weird mixture of machismo and masochism, adolescent recklessness and frat-boy homoeroticism, and some day someone will write a doctoral thesis about how Jackass relates to our safety-obsessed society; in the meantime, just enjoy. --Bret Fetzer

The best movie ever!!!
Just saw Jackass: The Movie at the Mann's Chinese theater and oh, sweet Lord was it funny! It's about an hour and a half and stars the regulars (Bam, Johnny, Steve-O, etc.) as well as a few guests like Henry Rollins, Tony Hawk, Spike Jonez and Matt Hoffman. The film begins with a hilarious slow-motion intro set to operatic music that looks more or less like the poster. It sets the tone for the film, and the energy from all parties involved seems so frantic and wild, you can't help but smile. The film as a whole is exactly like the Mtv series -- little seperately-titled gags shot on video (not film), with the same simplistic title system, and constant popups of the actors' names. In fact, the film was extremely viewer-friendly, and watching it I was able to get to know each of the participants much more easily than on the show. The difference between the film and the show can be likened to the difference between South Park the show and South Park the movie -- same humor, but the intensity is exponentially increased. It's hard to review the movie without giving away the gags, but a lot of it involved alligators, nipples, and things going in and out of peoples' asses. It's INCREDIBLY disgusting at times and just about everyone who watches this film will find something to wince at (for me, it was the 'papercut' sketch, but I'll leave that to the imagination). The film also had more of a frantic nature to it, and felt a lot like a blend between the Jackass show and Bam's CKY movies (look for Phil Margera quite a bit in the film). Only much, much worse. Was it as funny as the show? Oh dear LORD, yes! This is the most I have ever laughed at a film in my life, and I'm sure that I wasn't the onyl one at the theater for who this was true. This is everything Jackass was SUPPOSED to be and believe me, until you see the movie, you're not seeing half of what these guys are capable of (and capable of enduring). The film more than earns its R-rating, and I don't think it goes more than 5 or 10 minutes without a nice ass, inside-of-ass or "gootch" (the area between the balls and the ass) shot. But what's great is that the film isn't mindless, gross-out fare -- these are also some of the most clever gags we've ever seen Johnny and company come up with. It also nicely eases the audience in -- the first few sketches are longer, tamer ones, before regressing into the horrifying "Why the hell are they DOING that??" type of sketches. And, like I said, it's got a real heart to it, too. There is no running plot to the film, nothing to tie the segments together, but you get a very nice glimpse into each participant as the movie progresses and more than with the show, you really feel like you're there with the gang, and you know them all by name. Johnny does the most stunts himself, but you also get to really know Bam as the insane one of the bunch, and Steve-O as the guy who'll do anything. Mtv should have a huge hit with this film, that rare work that is so funny the audience never stops laughing, or giggling, because even when the next joke is being set up, the last one is so hilarious you can't stop. And it's all due in no small part to Johnny Knoxville, and the intensity and complete glee that everyone in the film goes into each scene with..

JOHNNY, BAM & CO ARE BACK TO FIND NEW WAYS TO KILL YOURSELF
Johnny fights with a pro boxer, gets shot & crashes a golf car.Bam wakes his parents up with fireworksChris is back as Party-Boy in Japan.Steve-O is busy tightrope walking over an alligator pit.Dave 'Sickboy' England is his charming self drinking his own urine.Ryan shoves a car up his backside.Wee Man hides from his Jackass co-stars under a giant traffic cone.Preston gets his own back when they have a roller disco in the back of a truck, poor Preston gets his own back by steering the truck around sharp corners.As for Ehren he walks on a floor covered with mousetraps.This movie is better than the series with Johnny, Bam & producer & Hollyood director Spike Jonze get aged to look like old men.I Could watch this again & again.A MUST FOR ALL JACKASS FANS!

Had me crying with laughter
Imagine Jackass the tv series stretched to an hour and given an 18 rating and you've got 'Jackass the movie'.
Within 5 minutes of the film starting I was crying with laughter (something I haven't done in years). When I wasn't crying I was laughing out loud. The stunts are pretty dangerous, and the only time I wasn't laughing was seeing Johnny Knoxvilles face before he was shot in the stomach with an anti riot weapon.
The rest of the Jackass crew are on form too, including Chris Pontius and his 'Thong Disco Dancing', Steve-O with his lethal stunts, and Jason 'wee man' Acuna being very cool and skillful on his skateboard.
One thing to beware of is that nothing is held back in the movie, including vomiting scenes and other bodily functions, so it's not something to show the family at Christmas, but if you want to get some friends together, have a few drinks, and REALLY laugh yourself stupid then this film is the one.
