I know that this type of comedy is not for everyone, but it is for me and I havn't laughed that hard that many times in a long time. If you like physical comedy taken to the very extreme you will laugh your **** off, that is when your not looking away because you can't belive some the pain these guys are going through just to get a laugh. SPOILER ALERT: well kind of, as much as you can spoil a move like this, I'm sure alot of you have seen the trailer for the movie and saw where they are going man fishing for sharks with Steve-O THAT IS NO JOKE, Steve-O takes the hook and sticks it through his cheek like you would real live bait through the mouth :eek: and dragged through the water, and there are real sharks after him one came so close he kicked it in the head trying to get away. Like I said this movie probably is not for everyone but if you liked the the last one you will enjoy this one for sure if not more, I did.

"Was the dick hair necessary?" hah! Saw it last night. I thought it was much better than the first one, first one had funny parts but this was just hilarious all the way through.

Drumingman

Rented the first one, could not watch 15 minutes if it as it was one of the worst movies of ALL Time. This Movie and probally the second one will be Number One for the Worst Films on my list.

Ron-P

Rented the first and laughed, I will rent this one as well, from what I've heard it sounds great.

Can't wait to see it.

Very refreshing in this era of remakes we seem to be stuck in.

swerve

it's very funny... had the place going wild with laughter.

Strong Bad

The first one was hilarious! Can't wait to see this one.

Drumingman

i guess it's a matter of taste and some people don't have any.

danger boy

I rented and watched the entire first movie.. i won't be seeing the second movie. it's just not my type of humor. which is ok.

Well, look whos wearing the big boy pants today!

Sometimes we all just need a good laugh and not Academy Award material.

Skynut

Blind buy.
Put me in the no taste group I guess.

Demiurge

I have absolutely no **** puckering standards when it comes to making me laugh, so put me down for having no taste either, I guess.

Big boy pants, you mean Huggies Pull-Ups.

I also have no taste

The only thing that annoys me about these movies is some of the gross-out humor. Nothing WRONG with it, I just... don't like being grossed out. HAha. I do, however, like watching people hurt themselves by being stupid. So I'm sold

Not really my bag at all.
It all started out fine back in the day. Some skateboard spills and run away shopping cart rampage.
BUT somewhere it turned into shoving things in your A$$ and sitting in a circle and torchuring each others balls - it just went all wrong. And then you find your self alone in the nude enjoying it...................... :eek:
Wondering about your sexuality -
The weird thing is watching the trailers it seemed much funnier to them, than the audience. Like you had to be there.


Just not my bag.;)

Strong Bad

Saw it last night and laughed my **** off! Alot of times I was crying from laughing so hard.

Go in expecting nothing but adolescent toilet humor and you'll have a good time.

Firehose Rodeo, **** Helmet and Old Man Balls....effing hilarious!

capecodder

Not my thing either. We all play stupid games and take chances but this genre is getting silly and out of hand, and frankly I just don't find (most of) it funny.

For those that do, knock yourself out. Pretty soon (if not already) someone's going to die, and for what?? The laughs won't be so loud then.

Skynut

It's all fun and games till someone gets hurt.


Then it's effing hillarious.

Why not? If you want to act like a **** to entertain yourself or others, and it gets you killed, it's your own damn fault, and I don't feel a bit of remorse for you.

You ever read the Darwin awards and feel BAD for the people who died? Doubtful. YOu say "what a moron", laugh, and shake your head. Granted, a majority of those are fictional, but that doesn't change the premise.

wingnut4772

I think a lot of it is funny but I just can't watch people getting hurt. It's not fun for me.

PhantomOG

the only thing that pisses me off about stuff like this are the dumb@$$ kids who imitate it and get hurt and the dumb@$$ lawyers who sue people for them.

Number one movie in America,and Ebert and Roeper gave two thumbs up

This was a fun movie from begining to end.

HOOPESTON, Ill. (AP) - A small-town theater owner says he wasn't trying to send Hollywood a message when he shut down for two weeks rather than show box-office leader "Jackass 2" or other new releases that he calls "drivel."

But even if not purposeful, Greg Boardman's blank-screened protest is getting a thumbs up from moviegoers who long for family fare and jeers from others who say his theaters are one of the few diversions - especially for children - in this farming town of about 6,000 people.

"They're not appropriate for really anybody, but I sure wouldn't let my kids go into one of them ... Those are his convictions and he needs to stand by them," Steve Lloyd, 59, of nearby Rossville said of offerings such as "Beerfest" and the "Jackass" sequel that briefly landed a "Closed" sign on the marquee outside Boardman's Lorraine Theatre.

"Jackass" features Johnny Knoxville and his gang performing crazy stunts often involving self-inflicted pain; "Beerfest" revolves around fictional siblings who participate in an Olympics-style drinking competition.

The 84-year-old, 500-seat Lorraine in downtown Hoopeston reopened Friday, showing Disney's football biopic "Invincible," while an 85-seat sister theater down the street relit its screen with Sony's animated kids movie "Open Season."

Hoopeston native P.J. Clingenpeel said the projectors should never have been turned off in the first place. He said the two-week shutdown only hurt children in this town where Boardman's movie houses and a skating rink are about all they have to do outside of school and sports.

"All he did was ruin a lot of kids' weekends. That's why I think he's a crybaby," said Clingenpeel, a 30-year-old welder.

Boardman says he's sorry that darkened screens cut into the town's limited entertainment options. But he says he'll shut down again if faced with a similar batch of films, adding that contractual issues with the studios - such as guarantees on first-week receipts - sometimes limit his options.

"The movies are so bad and I don't need the money ... I just didn't think I should use my high-quality facilities to show people vomiting on screen," said Boardman, whose theaters boast a high-tech, eight-channel digital sound system.

Boardman grew up near Hoopeston but now runs his theaters from his home near Fresno, Calif. He says shutting down the theaters was based strictly on his personal standards, not censorship or an effort to shelter people in the small town.

Over the years, his theaters have screened controversial films such as "Brokeback Mountain" and plenty of action movies, he said. And during the shutdown, the Lorraine's customer hot line told callers they could catch "Jackass 2" at theaters in nearby Danville.

"There are enough theaters carrying movies like "Jackass" that if people want to see them they can. ... The problem now is that there are too few good movies, movies that transplant you to another place," Boardman said in a telephone interview.

Yvonne Green, who manages the Lorraine, said the shutdown sent a ripple of anxiety through Hoopeston because Boardman has been trying to sell the theaters and many townspeople thought they were closing for good.

Most were understanding when she explained the shutdown was temporary, said Green, who was paid during the two weeks the theaters were closed. She also said she backs Boardman's decision, based on the movies he had to chose from.

"They're just not good. I just don't know how to say it and not say anything nasty," Green said. "They just weren't appropriate for anyone to see."

Paramount Pictures, which produced the "Jackass" sequel, did not immediately return a call for comment Friday.

Boardman said the shutdown wasn't a veiled message to moviemakers and he doubts studios will take notice, despite national media attention that followed the temporary closing.

"I think I'm way too small to make any kind of statement to Hollywood," Boardman said.

His supporters around Hoopeston agree, though some still held onto a glimmer of hope.

"I think it was a good idea to close until he had something worth seeing," said Myra Goodrum, 51, a bus driver for Hoopeston schools. "If they made more good movies, more families would go. But I doubt Hollywood's going to notice us. We're just kind of a hole in the wall."
