Synopsis: Born of the world of underground skateboard videos--where viewers watch more for the accidents than for the tricks--JACKASS began as an MTV series before becoming a big-screen sensation in 2002.... Born of the world of underground skateboard videos--where viewers watch more for the accidents than for the tricks--JACKASS began as an MTV series before becoming a big-screen sensation in 2002. Four years on, Johnny Knoxville is a movie star, and cohorts Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, and Steve-O have started successful franchises. One would think that they have moved on---yet here they are, back for more stunts and pranks involving defecation, ejaculation, and pubic hair, and ranging from the disgusting to the ridiculous. Like its predecessor, undoubtedly--in relation to its budget--one of the most profitable studio films in history, JACKASS: NUMBER TWO is merely a series of wince-inducing stunts. These often result in injury--filmed with a handheld camcorder. Highlights this time around include a four-person teeter-totter in the middle of a bull ring; Knoxville, Pontius, and Margera being blasted with riot control pellets; fellow skate video alumnus Spike Jonze in elderly-woman makeup losing his clothing in public; and Knoxville blasting off on the outside of a rocket. And these are just the beginning. There are also puncture wounds, the guys endlessly laughing at one another's injuries, and more male nudity than one normally sees in a mainstream film (including a surplus of scarred and bruised bottoms). JACKASS: NUMBER TWO is bookended by two beautifully filmed sequences--first the gang does a jaw-dropping running of the bulls down a suburban street. Then (and nothing is being spoiled here) the film concludes with an elaborate Busby Berkely musical number. These sequences up the ante a little bit from the first installment, and though JACKASS TWO certainly isn't for everyone, it remains the best and safest way to see a guy blasted into a lake in a rocket-fueled wheelchair.

The schoolboy skits are shorter and greater in number than the first Jackass movie, but the laughs and howls they provoke are just as loud and many.

Thanks to Knoxville and co., there is no stunt left untested, no boundary unbroken and no gag reflex left unprovoked in Jackass: Number Two - and this, resolutely, is a great thing.

It's almost like getting the band back together, which is great for Jackass fans if they don't mind that the super-group is pretty much set on playing the exact same tune.

Jackass: Number Two is a lot like the first Jackass, but with Oscar winners.

Jackass: Number Two aims low and hits lower, but is as hilarious and uncomfortable an encounter as possible.

...the film does elicit some genuine laughs, and that is what a comedy should do.

It's hard to like Jackass these days, but it's impossible to hate it either.

... a film that aims for the lowest-common denominator and falls even shorter.

[A] sporadically hilarious assortment of weapons-grade idiocy.

It's probably fair to warn animal-lovers that there's a fair amount of animal distress in the movie - snakes, in particular, get a pretty rough deal all round and the bulls don't seem too happy either.

Remember kids, don't try this at home. Or anywhere else for that matter.

Niilista como o original, torna-se moderadamente divertido em funçăo de seu inesperado número musical e do sentimento de camaradagem entre seus astros, que parecem realmente torcer uns pelos outros.

The bottom line with Jackass Number Two is as it was for Jackass Number One. If you are susceptible to its faecally-focused charms, chances are you will have a frolicking good time with it. If not, you have been warned

A lot more money than when they made their first film. But no more sense.
