This movie is insane! The first movie is so babyish compared to this! Johnny Knoxville and his buddies return and do crazy and dangerous stunts. This movie is just so funny you have to see it yourself, trust me you will laugh your head right off!

Although it had it's moments of hilarity and some of the stunts were quite fascinating to watch, generally this film was quite a dissapointment when compared to the first film.

Where a lot of the stunts in the first film here more about creating as hilarious a stunt as possible, this film seemed to focus more on seeing just how crude and shocking they can make a stunt. Those parts weren't funny, they were just embarassing.

In my opinion, this was the biggest comedy dissappointment of 3006.

Jackass 2 was a lot better than the first one. It has alot more stunts. I hope they make another one because the show isn't that interesting. I just like to see a bunch of stunts every year.

This movie was wilder and bigger than the original, and for that means for me one thing: lack of ideas. I think that they are trying to over used this idea so much, and I just hope that they keep getting on with strange movies like this, I don't get this kind of films. I just don't like them and I don't get them, really...

"Jackass: Number Two" was even more wilder and crazier than the first. It was good to see Johnny Knoxville really step it up in this movie after coming off a little soft in the original film.

Jackass Sequel Does Original Justice

By Patrick Hickey Jr.

It may have taken almost five years for a sequel to the original cult-classic Jackass to hit theaters, but if the reception the film has gotten its first week and a half in theatres is any indication, it was well worth the wait. Raking in over $29 million dollars in its first 10 days at the box-office, “Jackass: Number Two� is a blast for anyone who appreciates the hard work that goes into a great prank or anyone who’s in need of a laugh. Easily outclassing its predecessor in terms of mainstream appeal and comedic genius, this film will have you gagging in disgust and laughing in delight more times than you ever thought possible before entering the theater.

Despite being close to their thirties, or in the case of Johnny Knoxville, Evan Lacy, Jason Acuna [Wee-Man] and Steve-O, closer to their mid-thirties and almost forties, the cast of “Jackass: Number Two� still have the capacity to go all out and do the crazy things that make a movie like this so funny, including drinking Horse Semen and pouring bottles of beer in places on the human body where it was never intended to go.

Much like the first film, “Jackass: Number Two� is filled with over-the-top stunts and pranks that border on the psychopathic. Throughout the film, many viewers will ask themselves why anyone in their right mind would perform half the stunts seen in the movie, while the rest of the audience will be too busy laughing and spitting up soda and various food products to care.

While many critics ripped this film due to it’s lack of depth, brevity and overall character [Mainly Jennifer Reaves from the Chicago Tribune who said, "...the movie never deviates from its sole purpose: making the audience wish it was deaf, blind or, even better, not seeing this movie."], they failed to recognize the fact that this movie is supposed to be as dumb, gross and silly as humanely possible; this is what one comes to expect in a Jackass film. No one, regardless of their lack of intellect, pays 11 bucks to see a Jackass movie and expects to see an Oscar-winning performance; that’s like asking a teenager not to fall asleep while watching an Oliver Stone movie.

In the end, those looking for a film to shut their brain off to and enjoy for the sole purpose of meaningless laughter need to look no further. Those looking for an intense story, filled with intricate plot twists however, will be forced to make it a blockbuster night.

  Comedy, like most everything else, is subjective, and this may be the greatest example out there of "getting it" or not. If you thought the first movie, the original TV show, the Three Stooges, or "Football in the Groin," was funny, chances are "ackass: Number Two is right up your alley.

  It didn't seem possible, but Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man and company might just have cooked up a sequel that's even wilder, funnier, extra-depraved and more gag-inducing than the seemingly incomparable "Jackass the Movie."

  Debased, infantile and reckless in the extreme, this compendium of body bravado and malfunction makes for some of the most fearless, liberated and cathartic comedy in modern movies.

  As merry pranksters they have no match, and as they age (Knoxville is 35 now), they only grow in appeal. As they proudly hurl their tattooed (by ink and battle scars) bodies into harm's way, a devilish glint in their eyes, it's as if they've discovered the fountain of youth, and its name is Jackass.

  This is extreme comedy, and it's amazing how director Jeff Tremaine, who along with Spike Jonze has been affiliated with this troupe from its outset, creates an environment where self-inflicted torture is uncontrollably funny without being morally offensive.

  Jackass Number Two is not as original, aberrantly beautiful, unrepetitious, or good as Jackass Number One, yet it will still double a lot of people over with big laughs and grossed-out disbelief.

  The heart of Jackass - the adolescent drive to bash body and soul into the symbolic brick wall of maturity - remains pure.

  Part of what makes "ackass Number Two so frighteningly watchable -- even against your better judgment -- is the way the guys delight in one another's bumps, bangs and bruisings: First, they feel one another's pain; then they laugh like hell.

  The performers understand the simple integrity of a slapstick gag, and they're prepared to suffer for its entertainment value. This is what the Jackassers do for fun -- and their fans, already well versed in such previous shows as the original MTV series and the 2002 "Jackass: The Movie," understand that perfectly. And is there any significant moral difference between these performers and dedicated ballerinas who damage their feet in the highfalutin interests of art, or Daytona drivers risking their lives on the track?

  Parts of this are screamingly funny, other parts downright stomach turning, but you have to admire the fact that, for these guys, "anything for a laugh" really means anything. And for all the moronic behavior, there are also some inspired dadaist moments.

  Unapologetically appalling, more disgusting than anything you've ever seen and moronic enough to make you wonder about that theory on the depletion of the gene pool. It is also so funny it will make you choke.
