Critic Reviews of "The Jerk"
TIME MagazineFebruary 02, 2009Its humor is successful and unsuccessful by turns, and although Comedian Carl Reiner is the director, the instinct here is to give most of both credit and blame to Martin.
VarietyFebruary 02, 2009An artless, non-stop barrage of off-the-wall situations, funny and unfunny jokes, generally effective and sometimes hilarious sight gags and bawdy non sequiturs.
Time OutJune 24, 2006The comedy runs out of steam when the jerk makes good, but laugh for laugh it's probably a better investment than 10.
Chicago Sun-TimesJuly 05, 2005We get the sense at times that the cast and crew arrived at a location, found the script bankrupt of real laughs, and started looking around for funny props.
New York TimesMay 09, 2005The laughs aren't steady, but they're persistent, and the film moves fast enough to compensate for its unevenness.
QuickflixDecember 12, 2012An oddball odyssey so strange, filled with non-sequiturs so funny, and decorated by a romance so sweet, it was an inevitable star-maker.
Film4February 02, 2009If only he could have satisfied himself with this area of expertise, people would still talk of Steve Martin as one of the kings of comic cinema.
DVDJournal.comApril 06, 2006The whole thing is uneven and slight, but the highlight moments guilty-pleasure us with the sort of stupid-funny that's 'LOL' quotable afterward.
ColeSmithey.comJanuary 25, 2006Steve Martin is at the height of his comic powers in this very un-PC comedy.
DVDTalk.comJuly 31, 2005While The Jerk is an extremely episodic little movie, that's a malady easily forgiven -- simply because the episodes are so damn funny.
Filmcritic.comFebruary 06, 2005Martin's one-liners are pretty funny, very dry, and awfully quotable.
