Leave your thoughts about The Jerk.
| EmpireWilliam ThomasLoud and ludicrous, The Jerk is a strong contender for the funniest film of all time. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergWhile The Jerk is an extremely episodic little movie, that's a malady easily forgiven -- simply because the episodes are so damn funny. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldFor my taste a little bit of Steve Martin goes a long way. Moreover, a rickety vehicle like The Jerk is apt to wear out as aspiring comic star's welcome in one swift stroke. |
| The GuardianPhelim KlineLike Woody Allen's "Take The Money and Run", The Jerk is basically designed to allow Martin to use as many of his standup jokes and routines as possible, but his charm and timing makes this cleverly constructed movie seem fantastically loose and easy. |
| DeciderAlexander ZalbenBernadette Peters...nearly steals the show from Martin's over-the-top antics. It's sweet, and funny, and includes one of the most quotable exit lines in film history. |
| QuickflixSimon MiraudoAn oddball odyssey so strange, filled with non-sequiturs so funny, and decorated by a romance so sweet, it was an inevitable star-maker. |
| The A.V. ClubJosh ModellSweet, lighthearted, occasionally hilarious. |
| CinePassionFernando F. Croce92 minutes of direct and sweet surrealism |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewThe comedy runs out of steam when the jerk makes good, but laugh for laugh it's probably a better investment than 10. |
| Film FrenzyMatt BrunsonBasically a series of skits that are barely tethered to a plot, this works better than expected, thanks primarily to Martin's infectious performance. |
