Review of Jackass Number Two (2006) by Chris W — 06 Aug 2010

Alright look, the Jackass crew, and all that they do probably represent the worst of America, and are basically the craziest, stupidiest, and sadistic (and masochistic) morons on the planet, but...God help me...they are funny.

If these guys represent the worst of America, then what does that they about myself and all the other people out there who laugh at this stuff and find it funny and entertaining?

The simple fact of the matter is that, these guys, in their own sick little ways, are rather creative, and what they do is something that I think has to be done. I can't think of any at the moment, but there has to be some example out there of the opposite of these guys and what they represent. Every dark side has a light side, and every sane normal out there has these guys as a counterpoint. Besides, if these guys weren't doing it, someone else would.

This one definitely surpasses the first one in terms of laughs and outrageousness, but I will admit that some of it did make me wince uncorfortably. Obviously this movie will be an acquired taste, but for those who get it and can stand it, there's a lot to enjoy here.
