Jackass Number Two
A Movie Review |
|
 |
Okay, let me get this off of my conscience. I never saw
the original "Jackass" movie, nor caught the MTV series.
It’s not that I didn’t want to, I just never found the time.
This is one of those revelations to my friends that seems
totally bizarre, like when I told Stu Gotz I never saw
"Napoleon Dynamite" and told Dewey Cheatum, my accountant,
that I had never seen "Braveheart." And now that I’ve seen
"Jackass Number Two," I have to admit that I have absolutely
no idea how to write a review for the movie.
I mean it’s "Jackass," like the first one I can assume,
only more of it. I can’t use any standard movie reviewing
bullshit like "Johnny Knoxville shows his acting chops, but
could use a little more polish in selling a scene," or "It
just doesn’t seem appropriate to humiliate the
height-challenged Wee Man," or "The special effects in this
movie were groundbreaking." There sure isn’t any plot
development to talk about, except for maybe the last
vignette where a prank is pulled by one of the Jackass guys
dressing up as a terrorist and hoping in a cab to the
airport, and am I really supposed to mention the
"outstanding choreography" for the closing number?
More appropriately I could use something like "It’s not
something I ever wondered how it was done, but it was
scientifically enlightening to see how they collect semen
from a horse," or maybe "I wonder how my mother would react
if I turned her staircase (if she had one) into a ski
slope?", or maybe "The physical training Steve-O went
through to film the scene with him in the ocean with sharks
really paid off."
For your God’s sake I’m not going to waste any more of my
time or your time with a review, but just let you know that
I laughed my ass off, nearly vomited, and had to cross my
legs with the effect of phantom pain many times, especially
seeing a real snake trying to take on a trouser snake, err,
I mean "mouse."
You already know if "Jackass Number Two" would be your
cup of horse semen, and if so, I highly recommend it. For
all of the critics bashing the film, how can you not
appreciate what should be an Oscar nominated performance by
Bam Margera when he was trapped with a King Cobra? Unlike
Johnny Knoxville’s "just making a paycheck" performance in
the movie, it’s takes real acting ability to cry like Bam
did on camera, and on cue.
It’s 5 stars out of 5 for "Jackass Number Two" even if
there was not an ounce of nudity I actually wanted to see.
In the immortal words of the way-overused saying, "It is
what it is."
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!!
