Film Threat Pete Vonder Haar

Comedy, like most everything else, is subjective, and this may be the greatest example out there of "getting it" or not. If you thought the first movie, the original TV show, the Three Stooges, or "Football in the Groin," was funny, chances are “ackass: Number Two is right up your alley.

The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen

It didn't seem possible, but Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man and company might just have cooked up a sequel that's even wilder, funnier, extra-depraved and more gag-inducing than the seemingly incomparable "Jackass the Movie."

The New York Times Nathan Lee

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.

LA Weekly Scott Foundas

As merry pranksters they have no match, and as they age (Knoxville is 35 now), they only grow in appeal. As they proudly hurl their tattooed (by ink and battle scars) bodies into harm's way, a devilish glint in their eyes, it's as if they've discovered the fountain of youth, and its name is Jackass.

Jackass: Number Two aims low and hits lower, but is as hilarious and uncomfortable an encounter as possible

Austin Chronicle Josh Rosenblatt

Just the kind of vicarious excitement for which the movies were invented.

Boston Globe Wesley Morris

This is extreme comedy, and it's amazing how director Jeff Tremaine, who along with Spike Jonze has been affiliated with this troupe from its outset, creates an environment where self-inflicted torture is uncontrollably funny without being morally offensive.

Some movies simply shouldn't be seen sober or alone.

Entertainment Weekly Gregory Kirshling

Jackass Number Two is 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.

San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub

This is the "Godfather II" of tasteless prank films.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers

The heart of Jackass - the adolescent drive to bash body and soul into the symbolic brick wall of maturity - remains pure.

Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek

Part of what makes "ackass Number Two so frighteningly watchable -- even against your better judgment -- is the way the guys delight in one another's bumps, bangs and bruisings: First, they feel one another's pain; then they laugh like hell.

Washington Post Desson Thomson

The performers understand the simple integrity of a slapstick gag, and they're prepared to suffer for its entertainment value. This is what the Jackassers do for fun -- and their fans, already well versed in such previous shows as the original MTV series and the 2002 "Jackass: The Movie," understand that perfectly. And is there any significant moral difference between these performers and dedicated ballerinas who damage their feet in the highfalutin interests of art, or Daytona drivers risking their lives on the track?

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

Parts of this are screamingly funny, other parts downright stomach turning, but you have to admire the fact that, for these guys, "anything for a laugh" really means anything. And for all the moronic behavior, there are also some inspired dadaist moments.

Miami Herald Connie Ogle

Unapologetically appalling, more disgusting than anything you've ever seen and moronic enough to make you wonder about that theory on the depletion of the gene pool. It is also so funny it will make you choke.

Philadelphia Inquirer David Hiltbrand

The sequel is a dizzying succession of pranks, Candid Camera-like sketches, and, that old crowd-pleaser, the boys actively courting their own grievous harm. This is what you get when a generation grows up watching far too many "Roadrunner" cartoons while sitting on the couch eating bowl after bowl of Lucky Charms.

TV Guide Ken Fox

Ask yourself this: Did the title make you laugh? If so, you're probably the target audience.

A buffet of dumb and degrading stunts halfway between Looney Tunes and Abu Ghraib?

Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach

There are moments, heaven forgive me, that left me chuckling. Not to mention eternally grateful that it's these guys doing this stuff, and not me.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

There's a certain morbid fascination, and perverse humor, in watching grown men enthusiastically turn themselves into human cartoons. (For better or worse, these guys are their generation's Stooges.)

Variety Joe Leydon

This stunningly shameless follow-up to the 2002 theatrical sleeper (and homdevid mega-seller) offers more of the same -- a lot more -- while repeatedly upping the ante in terms of offensiveness. Which, of course, should greatly -- and profitably -- please is target aud.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Bill White

There is a point, however, at which the movie becomes simply sickening. Between the electric shocks and hot-iron branding, feats of grossness are accomplished that are so vile even the hardiest among the cast cannot suppress the upchuck.

Chicago Tribune Jessica Reaves

There's no plot here; like the MTV show that spawned it, this movie is just a progression of increasingly disgusting and/or dangerous stunts.

What Our Users Said

The average user rating for this movie is 7.3 (out of 10) based on 78 User Votes

Note: User votes are NOT included in the Metascore calculation.

Andrew gave it a10:
Brilliant. One of the best comedies in ages because it distills the genre into its most basic parts and cuts all of the crap out. It's just guys being dumb, but that's why it is funny.

Pat C. gave it a1:
Slapstick pain is not funny when it inflicts more pain on the viewer than the victimized character. Nothing new here worthy of cinematic note, but one richly deserved point for the odd genuinely funny moment.

Gerrick C. gave it a10:
Jackass Number 2 is extremely funny, crude, and offensive. And if you like that kind of thing, this movie is right up your alley.

Matt gave it a10:
Its gross, dangerous, and wickedly entertaining.

Andy S. gave it an8:
Better than the first one by a mile. They take their antics to a much higher level on this sequel. I also liked how they added some seens similar to all the cast's respective shows. A few nature scenes with Steve-O and Party Boy and a few family scenes with Bam were nice surprises.

Chris W. gave it a10:
So disgusting, so immoral, so wrong that's it's just right! Great movie!

David D. gave it a6:
The first 20 or so minutes was some of the funniest things I have ever seen. The rest of the movie is really pretty bad, with tons of gross scenes that may make you puke. I recommend renting it and watching at least the first 20 or so minutes. After that, it is up to you to decide if you want to vomit on your floor.
