I was wondering how they came up with the name XXX. After viewing this sequel, I determined that it quite possibly stands for X-tra X-treme X-plosions. The last time I saw that much stuff blow up I was with my buddies on July 4th. This movie was a hundred minutes of explosions, gunfire, and sexually objectified women. I do have to admit, however, that Ice Cube did a much better job than Vin Diesel (who starred in the first film). Xzibit also appeared in this film, but it was almost impossible to take his character seriously because he was customizing vehicles—the same thing he does on his TV show. This movie could show up in the next Toyota commercial as a cure for adrenalitis. However, it won’t cure anyone’s need for a good movie.

It didn’t take long to determine whether or not this movie would be Dove approved. The first scene shows about 20 people being shot or stabbed along with some offensive language. Beside the language and violence there are plenty of scenes showing women in revealing clothes. Some of the songs in the soundtrack also contain explicit material such as a “rap” where a man describes giving people two middle fingers.
