Empire -
Loud and ludicrous, The Jerk is a strong contender for the funniest film of all time.
|

|
The Guardian -
Like 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.

The A.V. Club -
Sweet, lighthearted, occasionally hilarious.

|
The New York Times -
By turns funny, vulgar and backhandedly clever, never more so than when it aspires to absolute stupidity. And Mr. Martin, who began his career with an arrow stuck through his head, has since developed a real genius for playing dumb.

Entertainment Weekly -
The Jerk‘s threadbare plot follows the brilliantly convoluted story.
