"Jackass Number Two" is crude, vulgar and entertaining. Anyone surprised?

Though I had low expectations for "Jackass Number Two," the sequel successfully lived up to its name and entertained.

There are many things in this film that made my mouth drop--in fact, I have never seen things so bad on film.

The skits are more extreme and crude than anyone could imagine. Watching Wee Man (Jason Acuña) bungee jump off a bridge with his rope attached to a rather large man is something that is just not easily compared to anything else.

With other skits involving horses, damaging human anatomy and crude, over-the-top humor, it shocks me that this movie only got an R rating. I personally would have given this a higher rating due to a lot of graphic stunts, nudity, language and extremely crude humor.

Many of the stunts, though juvenile, still had a way of grabbing moviegoers' attention. And who could blame us, as Bam Margera and Johnny Knoxville stood in front of an explosion that ejected tons of rubber balls at 50 feet per second?

While this type of comedy isn't for everyone--especially when a lot of it is pointless and unneeded--I recommend it to anyone with a strong stomach who likes random, sloppy comedy.
