Jackass Number Two (2006)


Jackass Number Two is a comedy film which is completely comprised of skits and stunts.  As in tune with the TV series the first film, it relies heavily on toilet humor and self-bodily harm.  It's about half and half, with all of the stunts dangerous as the cast constantly gets hurt.  It's quite painful to watch them in some segments such as piercing a fish hook through your cheek or knowingly getting in the way of a charging bull.  Of course, it depends on your preferences but some of the pranks and skits are too disgusting and you might actually retch along with the cast when you think about what is happening.  On the flip side, there are some really good pranks, including the best one being the terrorist taxi prank.  It was clever in that it was a prank on a prank on a prank.  The various layers made it ingenious and the execution was great.  On the whole, Jackass Number Two does provide more laughs than disgust but you can't help but question why the cast risk their lives this way even if they are in it for the money.
