Frank and Casper's friendship is put to a test when the latter relocates to Hollywood. In a last-ditch attempt to salvage his relationship with his best friend, and escape an increasingly humdrum domestic life, Frank follows Casper to the States, and their unpredictable brand of chaos ensues.
If you were not a fan of the original film or are easily offended, Klovn Forever will do little to change your opinion on Frank and Casper’s style of humor. But those who enjoy their antics will undoubtedly find this sequel delivers the goods, despite being unable to top their outrageous outing that was the first feature.
Wannabe shock comedies toe boundaries of decorum but don’t have the stones to cross them, which in a way is more off-putting than the alternative. For Hvam, Christensen, and Klown Forever, boundaries aren’t a problem, only substance, but if you’re looking for a moral or a message, then you’re looking at the wrong film.
The Guardian by Jordan Hoffman
Klown Forever has even less of a plot than the first film, which is a bit of a problem.
On Curb, it’s Larry David’s neuroses that drive his frequent public humiliation. In Klown, the problem is more that Casper and Frank can’t keep it in their pants.
Village Voice by Luke Y. Thompson
So long as they're only stupidly endangering themselves along the way, it's easy to watch this with a sort of libertarian detachment. It's also annoyingly predictable this time around, though the leads at first maintain their strong chemistry and essential likability.
Los Angeles Times by Michael Rechtshaffen
While their last movie managed to temper the outrageousness with an underlying goofy sweetness, the biggest offense here isn’t that it’s offensive, it’s just not all that funny.
Frank "kidnaps" a young boy and tags along on his best friend's debauched canoe trip.
A suave spy takes a scrappy teenager under his wing. The kid's got talent, but manners maketh man.
The world's leaders have assembled. So have their enemies.
