Certificate: 18

All the boys are back for another round of homoerotic sadomasochism that, once again, is an absolute riot if you like that sort of thing. On the other hand, if the sight of grown men shaving their pubic hair or drinking horse semen doesn't sound like your idea of a good night out, steer well clear. Often hilarious, occasionally unwatchable, it's generally funnier when it involves the guys careering into objects (or annoyed animals) or being rocketed to high heights, rather than ingesting (orally or otherwise) various excreta. The more "Trigger Happy" moments involving Spike Jonze made up to look like a 90 year-old woman with a penchant for letting her breasts hang out or Knoxville as a foul mouthed pensioner are a nice break from the vulgarity, but you won't have to wait long before someone has their dick in a snake's mouth again.
