Austin ChronicleJosh KupeckiAug 31, 2016
Because of the episodic nature of the material, Klown Forever feels more like a series of events rather than a cohesive whole. That’s fine with me, as I enjoy spending time with these bumbling, emasculated males grappling with their ultimate insignificance in the world. Read full review

The PlaylistAndrew CrumpSep 7, 2016
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. Read full review

The Film StageRaffi AsdourianAug 4, 2016
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. Read full review

Klown Forever has even less of a plot than the first film, which is a bit of a problem. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenSep 1, 2016
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. Read full review

Village VoiceLuke Y. ThompsonSep 1, 2016
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. Read full review
