I was not at all sure how to begin this review so to begin the review I decided to tell you just that, after all this is a movie called Jackass, so why not get in the spirit of things?
The easiest way to describe my opinion of this film is to tell you my reaction during the 95 minute running time as members of the Jackass crew punish themselves for no discernable reason, and that was to laugh my ass off all while keeping my gag reflex in check. In short, I enjoyed the hell out of it.
Jackass Number Two goes way beyond the first film, which I have only seen once, as it focuses on plenty of potty jokes and really ups the ante in the pain department. If you are interested in seeing this film or at all curious, read the following questions:
Have you ever wanted to strap yourself to a rocket and fly over a lake?
Have you ever worn a fart helmet?
Have you ever wanted to scare the hell out of your mother?
Have you ever seen old man balls?
Have you ever wanted to skateboard head first into Plexiglas?
Have you ever wanted to catch a python in a boxing ring full of plastic balls?
Have you ever wondered what the “essence of horse” tasted like?
Have you ever heard of a butt bong?
If you have ever wanted to do any of those things or are anxious to see just how funny it is when someone else does them then this movie is for you. That is the best way I can give you insight into what you are in for without ruining the surprise, and if you find any of that appalling click away right now, but I don’t want to see any of you giving this movie an “F” just because you are appalled. You shouldn’t have been in the theater in the first place!
Despite any amount of fame Johnny Knoxville is back with his troupe of crazies as they freeze their balls to ice sculpted sheep and take on the bulls. Everyone is here including Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, Preston Lacy, Ryan Dunn, Ehren McGhehey and Dave England and each of them assists as much as they can. As far as special guests go there are a few, but be sure to keep an eye out for Broken Lizard director Jay Chandrasekhar as he is part of the greatest skit in the whole movie, bar none!
Check out Jackass 2 with a group of your closest friends, it is the only way to do it, and if any of those friends are nuts then you are going to want to watch your back as they will have plenty of ideas after this movie.
