In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Jackass Number Two is about as non-woke as it gets. No identity politics, no cultural lectures, just pure, chaotic slapstick. The only thing being subverted here are bones and questionable life choices.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Jackass Number Two is about as far from sacrificing narrative for ideology as you can get. The film's focus is on outrageous stunts and crude humor, with no discernible agenda around identity. Characters are chosen for their willingness to suffer for comedy, not because of any representation box-checking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s certainly some irreverence toward societal norms, but it’s more juvenile pranksterism than a takedown of tradition. Masculinity, if anything, is taken to ridiculous extremes, but not pathologized. Family and religion aren’t really on the radar here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a free-for-all with no real ideology pushed, let alone mocked. If anything, it laughs in the face of every pretentious worldview. Everyone’s equally fair game for ridicule, and there’s no clear elevation of any particular class, group, or belief system.
