Jackass 2 packed with twice the depravity
By Jesus Ordoñez

Get out those shopping carts. The boys are at it again in the movie Jackass Number Two. Another ninety-five minutes of non-stop, death-defying stunts, toilet humor, excessive profanity and just plain stupidity at its finest.

MTV’s hit series Jackass has twice the hazard and twice the laughter of the first one. The cast includes Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O, Wee-Man, Preston Lacy and Chris Pontius. Joined by other cast members, they take stupid, disgusting and dangerous to a whole new level. Stunts like anaconda taming, running from a stampede of bulls, in-door skiing, shark fishing and many other questionable acts are performed with the utter most stupidity.

I cannot reveal the best scenes because it is something you must see with your own two eyes-if you can keep them open during the whole ordeal.

During some parts of the movie, I wanted to close my eyes, but at the same time could not look away. I was shocked, appalled, scared, and could not stop laughing.

During other parts I wanted to vomit and said to myself, “Why would they do that?” then in some parts I told myself, “Wow! That looks like fun!” I give it two thumbs and two big toes way up!

On a scale of one to 10, I give it a DELICIOUS!

This is the perfect movie to go out with your friends to see for a good laugh. Your jaw will drop at every scene as the boys stare death in the face with a big smile. This is definitely not the movie you want to see with your parents though, or anyone not past puberty.

If you have seen the first Jackass movie, the second one is twice as good… or bad, whichever way you prefer to say it. Many critics were outraged at the first Jackass movie.

The Toronto Star said it was “a plunge into depravity.” The Washington Times said it was “a new low.”

The Christian Spotlight on the Movies called it “a sad commentary on our degenerating culture.”

“A disgusting, repulsive, grotesque spectacle” said Richard Roeper of Ebert and Roeper, but if you are ready to see twice the action, then you are ready to see Number Two.
