CRITICS OF "The Jerk"

July 31, 2005

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.

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.

92 minutes of direct and sweet surrealism

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.

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.

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.

The comedy runs out of steam when the jerk makes good, but laugh for laugh it's probably a better investment than 10.

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.
