"The Jerk" is a comedy classic, but the name of the movie has always bothered me. The main character of the movie doesn't really act like a jerk. He's more of an idiot than a jerk. So, shouldn't they have called the movie "The Idiot"?

He says so in his opening monologue "I am not a bum! I'm a Jerk!"

Yeah like the person mentioned above.
Its because of one of his very first lines.
He says "Im not a bum IM A JERK."
It really is titled that more for that one line. It works.

Jerk has many meanings, not just a rude person. Can also represent a fairly stupid one, as well.

But not before me. I'll blame Steve Martin for wanting confuse people with the movies title, silly little high IQ guy that guy is.

The movie is so awesome to me because it was Steve Martin just going all out at like 4000 rpms of his best comedy.
It needs to be treated better.
