While The Jerk is an extremely episodic little movie, that's a malady easily forgiven -- simply because the episodes are so damn funny.February 02, 2009
An artless, non-stop barrage of off-the-wall situations, funny and unfunny jokes, generally effective and sometimes hilarious sight gags and bawdy non sequiturs.

Martin's one-liners are pretty funny, very dry, and awfully quotable.December 12, 2012
An oddball odyssey so strange, filled with non-sequiturs so funny, and decorated by a romance so sweet, it was an inevitable star-maker.

Steve Martin is at the height of his comic powers in this very un-PC comedy.February 13, 2010
92 minutes of direct and sweet surrealismFebruary 02, 2009
Its 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.July 05, 2005
We 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.April 06, 2006
The whole thing is uneven and slight, but the highlight moments guilty-pleasure us with the sort of stupid-funny that's 'LOL' quotable afterward.June 24, 2006
The comedy runs out of steam when the jerk makes good, but laugh for laugh it's probably a better investment than 10.February 02, 2009
If 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.

The laughs aren't steady, but they're persistent, and the film moves fast enough to compensate for its unevenness.
