Release Date: September 22, 2006

It was disgusting, degrading, shocking, and insanely irresponsible. I wanted to look away, but I just couldn’t. I loved it.

Plot really isn’t an issue with Jackass, and neither is the content. Have you have ever been to a party and seen someone who drank too much, and you know they are going to vomit? When they do vomit, you hear people cheering and you cant help but watch the spectacle. That type of situation is exactly why Jackass: Number Two can be entertaining.

We have become a society full of voyeurs, and the more offensive or dangerous the situation…we cry for more. Everyone loves to play pranks on their friends, so why wouldn’t you love to see someone else play pranks on their friend? Follow the most insane and reckless bunch of guys in the world as they find new ways to disgust, shock, hurt, and humiliate each other. I don’t want to talk too much about what happened, because every skit is worth seeing in this film.

While some skits are just painful to watch, some are absolutely hilarious. These guys have no shame, and apparently no sense of pain. From Bam Margera getting the shape of male genitals branded on his backside to Steve-O using himself as bait for sharks, this film (if you can call it that) is pure entertainment. No matter how you slice it, people want to see other people in pain or humiliated. Seriously, how many people tuned in to see Bode Miller ski this past winter? Case closed.

Yes its offensive. Yes its disgusting. Yes its shocking. However, Jackass: Number Two is creative and purely entertaining. Any film that can keep an audience planted in their seats past the credits, is certainly worth seeing. Don’t lie to yourself, you want to see Wee-Man naked.

The Upside: Spike Jonze in fully body makeup, dressed as an old woman whose dress falls off.

The Downside: Wee-Man, the “little person” of the group, completely naked.

On the Side: The only Jackass to not return for this sequel is Chris Raab.

Final Grade: B
