Jackass: Number Two

It's almost like getting the band back together, which is great for Jackass fans if they don't mind that the super-group is pretty much set on playing the exact same tune.

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

It's hard to like Jackass these days, but it's impossible to hate it either.

[A] sporadically hilarious assortment of weapons-grade idiocy.

Remember kids, don't try this at home. Or anywhere else for that matter.
