Sadly Over-hyped

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The Jerky Boys movie. I want to forget that they even existed. Their unfunny, awful albums that they cranked out right around the same time this joke of a film came out, that just promoted crank calling various people just for giggles. Low morale if you ask me. Is the movie any improvement over all this? Uh, no! Now they've gotten themselves in hot water, by impersonating the wrong guy, have made them a target from the mob. And just to set the record straight, the only reason why this movie was even made, was so everyone could see what these guys really looked like in real life. The entire film is just an excuse to make a feature film, and the length of the movie barely meets the requirements of even that. If you're looking for classic laughs from the retro days, I suggest other titles, other better titles, but for me, The Jerky Boys was just a 100 percent total bust for me. I hope it will be for you, too.

I am a huge fan of these two. I know the majority of people hate these guy's, but I think they are brilliant. This movie was widely panned over by critics and movie goers, but it is just another great example of the genius that is the Jerky Boys. You have to know their prank phone call background to fully appreciate all the jokes in this movie. And to listen to their prank call CD's, you start to see how quick witted these two are, to come up with the calls they do is pure genius. Listen to the CD's and then watch this movie, you will laugh your butt off, I can almost guarantee it ! Just watch the 'drive through' scene in this movie to see one of the funniest bits on film ever !

Simply stated, if you are a fan of the Jerky Boys from their CDs, and then perhaps watch this movie "just to see who these guys are", you will be entertained by some of the movie. If you are not a fan of the Jerky Boys -- or worse yet, have never heard their stuff -- you will be completely puzzled about why this thing was ever made or even what it is supposed to be. There is lame story buried under all the random bits, but that can't hold it together. Although it is nice to see Brett Weir finally get his, I would rather Sparky the Clown just stay in my imagination. (especially since on the album, the Sparky routine was hilarious) I am a huge Jerky Boys fan and I still can't muster anything above a "5". In fact even if you are a Jerky Boys aficionado, it wouldn't hurt to have a few beers before watching this flick.

I never laughed so hard in my life! The language is quite raw, so those with sensitive ears should find an edited-for-tv version, and if you're looking for academy-award-winning material, pass this one up...but if you're just looking to have fun and laugh yourself stupid, this video is a must-see! My sides ached for three days after watching this movie. Johnny Brennan nad Kamal Ahmed are two of the funniest comedians that have ever rolled into public view. These are just two guys having fun and taking you with them, as if you had an extremely hilarious brother and his equally funny best friend. And EVERYbody has had a Brent Weir in their life at one point...and its a scream how they torment him throughout the film! If you're not anal about perfection but just like to let your hair down and have fun without judgement, grab this one up. You really wont regret it!!
