True to its aim, Jackass 2 probably will leave fans more satisfied than the vast majority of films this year have left moviegoers. |

...the movie never deviates from its sole purpose: making the audience wish it was deaf, blind or, even better, not seeing this movie. |

Some will call this movie a symptom of cultural decay, but if it is, who the hell wants to be cultured? |

Yes, you read that right. Jackass: Number Two is a three-star movie. |

...Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, and the rest of the gung-ho knuckleheaded gang return for more bodily fluid and self-mutilation antics, and somehow manage to up the ante in terms outrageousness, imprudence, and hilarity. |

...not as original, aberrantly beautiful, unrepetitious, or good as Jackass Number One, yet it will still double a lot of people over with big laughs and grossed-out disbelief. |

Debased, infantile and reckless in the extreme, this compendium of body bravado and malfunction makes for some of the most fearless, liberated and cathartic comedy in modern movies. |

If your face doesn't immediately light up at the thought of Johnny Knoxville launching himself airborne on the back of a giant rocket, or Chris Pontius slipping a sock puppet of a mouse on his dick before inserting it into a hungry snake's lair, or Steve-O jamming a fish hook through the side of his mouth and hurling himself into shark-infested waters -- then Jackass Number Two is definitely not for you. As for me, I can't wait to see it again. |

Movies like Two feed off the energy of crowds whose visceral response can be measured not just in laughter, but also in squeals of shock, revulsion, and surprise. If seen alone, the new Jackass sequel could easily come off as a grim wallow in the depths of human degradation. But when seen with a rapt, rowdy audience, the film becomes something else entirely--namely, a joyful celebration of the depths of human degradation. |

Here's a way to spend 90 minutes completely devoid of social benefit. |
