Jackass Deux: Le film

Just got out of an advance screening, and wow was this movie hilarious. Possibly better than the first one, but at least its equal. If you don't like jackass, or really unnecessary amounts of male nudity(way more than in the first) then stay far, far away. But if you dig the whole Jackass thing, then this movie will not disappoint. Toro Totter is the greatest invention ever. OK. so my review wasn't long enough... All else i have to say is poor, poor Dunn, they really kick the crap out of him in this. So if you enjoy masochistic humor, and prolific male nudity, and by far the most disgusting female nudity ever (John Waters is involved, need i say more?) then this movie will keep you in stitches for it entirety. I never stopped laughing, and actually came out drenched in sweat.

The sequel is exactly what you will expect it to be. And it is good enough that everyone who would have wanted to watch this should leave it happy.

This is not a movie that will win an Academy award. But it does take what made the Jackass TV show and original movie a success, and it turns it up a notch. It is funnier, more brutal, and more disgusting than the original. And I loved every minute of it.

The original had a few notorious stunts, and there is at least one stunt that this movie will be remembered for. You will wince, cringe, look away, and laugh very, very hard.

In any event, you probably do not need to read this review, or any others, to know if you will like this movie, unless you have never heard of Jackass.

How do you describe the plot of a "Jackass" film? A group of guys (including Bam Margera and Johnny Knoxville) do a variety of stupid stunts that could seriously injure or kill them. Nobody dies, but there is plenty of bodily injury to go around.

If you're the type of person who didn't like "Jackass" (the show or the movie), I have no idea why you'd watch "Jackass 2". You know what it is: violence, nudity, bodily fluids. But if you liked the show and the movie, I am willing to bet you'll like the sequel even more. I liked it more, as have pretty much everyone I spoke with. Why? Because there is a better flow to this one with less repetition.

The only thing this film really lacked for me was Party Boy, because I love seeing Party Boy dancing to his theme song. But I can overlook this (especially because Bunny the Lifeguard shows up).

Some of the stunts here were very clever. I liked the teeter-totter with the bull. Some of the rocket-powered wheelchairs and shopping carts were a nice touch. (Allegedly, much of this film was inspired by "Looney Tunes" -- and I will say this was far more entertaining than any of those cartoons.)

The best stunt by far was "Terror Taxi". I don't want to give the thing away, but here's the premise: a man dressed up as a stereotypical terrorist (turban, beard and even explosives strapped to his chest) gets in a taxi and asks to go to the airport. This stunt is not only really ballsy, and possibly too soon after 9/11 to be considered funny by most people, but wait until you see where it goes from there. No stunt has ever gone this far and probably never will again.

I am not going to say "see this movie" or "don't see this movie". With most films I review, I feel it's a good idea to recommend movies to people and tell them if it's their type of film. Well, in this case, I think you know if you're going to be a fan of "Jackass" or not, because if you're thinking about renting it, you probably already know what to expect.

This film tops the previous incarnation by a mile, taking everything to the next level. As always the JackAss guys are purely unbelievable, and I personally laughed harder in that theatre than I have in a long time. Like the first JackAss, this isn't so much a movie as an eighty minute long string of stunts and pranks. It is pure circus entertainment taken to the highest level. Essentially these guys are clowns, debasing themselves for the amusement of others. And its great. The shenanigans are so low, outrageous, and often disgusting that they transcend into a higher form of entertainment.

You can't rate this along other movies, its in a class of its own. And it shines. Go and enjoy it for the pure spectacle that it is.

Yes. Bam cried a couple times and so did Englund. And most probably you will too. The whole cast is back in action and Knoxville has stepped up to become the true leader of this gang of messed-up retards (I mean this in the best possible way). I first thought, maybe Bam or Steve-O were the main go-to guys....nope, the main man is now Johnny. Don't get me wrong, everybody, and I mean everybody is great in this flick! Right from the get-go you're laughing, and believe you me, don't plan on resting that smile of yours. I personally think the movie definitely has better moments than the first. You know when you go into a theater, and you kind of don't want to have high expectations for it.....well, this movie blows all expectations away. If you love Jackass, you can go into this with gigantic expectations. No matter what you'll laugh your ass off. If you're not laughing, the reason is most likely someone has a gun in your face telling you if you laugh you die or maybe you are embarrassed about the sound of your laugh or the highest probability is that you were eating Jack Sh!t for breakfast and Jack left town. All I have to say is, prepare yourself to have a sore face after the movie. :)
