22 Jump Street

A sequel to a comedy hit that lacks nothing that was typical of its predecessor, but at the same time has almost nothing that is typical of it. The genuinely funny scenes are few and far between, the popular mockery of action clichés is effective, but it's a weak brew compared to the first one, with new villains that are terribly stupid (poor Stormare), and only one of the original characters that retains his standards (the wisecracking Ice Cube). I expected much more from directors with such a record of originality. 60% (08/11/2014)

This was just great! I thought I was going to laugh at this movie, but I didn’t know it was going to be that much. I had a lot of fun, which I thank the actors and the filmmakers for. This is exactly the kind of film one needs to lift one's spirits. And those great references to everything possible, to the actors themselves, and not a single comeback of the old streetwise character was missing. Thank you, thank you, thank you! (07/10/2014)

Absolute psycho that often goes way over the top, but I enjoyed it more than part 1. The fact that it’s a sequel is capitalized upon and so everything is bigger, more explosive and the humor even crazier. Miller and Lord thrive on knick-knacks, antiracism and also... on male comradery. Awesome final credits. (10/12/2014)

The first movie was absolutely crazy, so the second one is properly insane. For the first fifteen minutes, I was just staring at the two idiots with my mouth wide open and I wasn’t sure whether I’m supposed to laugh or stare like a stuck pig. It was obvious that it was so overdone on purpose and it all pretended to be awfully stylish, which was also complemented by the dance music itself. The story didn’t surprise me because they didn’t come up with anything new. They just swapped high school for college. But one-liners were plentiful; In fact, there were so many that I think that I must have overlooked a ton of cool and clever references to the 1990s in all that colorful fun. I don’t really like Hill or Tatum, but they were really putting on a show here and so I had good fun, I just had to get used to it. (06/22/2015)

Awesome. More fun than the first one, I think. Great pacing, amazing modern look, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are perfect again, the plot is acceptable and there are and lots of laughs, 22 Jump Street has all that! The lunch with the parents and the end credits are without a doubt some of the best scenes of the year. Together with Suck Me Shakespeer, probably the best comedy of the year. 90%. (09/27/2014)
