Plots(1)
After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) when they go deep undercover at a local college. But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team, and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. Now they don't have to just crack the case - they have to figure out if they can have a mature relationship. If these two overgrown adolescents can grow from freshmen into real men, college might be the best thing that ever happened to them. (official distributor synopsis)

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%

A comedy of the year beyond doubt, Tatum & Hill currently being the top of the comedy genre. It's hard to compare this with the first film, but since they managed to make another one with the same theme which isn’t too repetitive while still funny, I give it a thumbs up. There are weaker moments, but not many and I had fun throughout most of the movie. Plus, Ice Cube is totally incredible, and the scene at the table with the bulletproof vest is just perfection. I originally wanted to give it a 4, but for the most awesome end credits I've ever seen, it deserves a full score. Edit: After seeing it for about the fifth time, I have to say that I haven’t seen a better comedy not just this year, but maybe ever in my life. 22 Jump Street would definitely be on my TOP 5 comedies list if I had one. A total blast, full of awesome one-liners and, if you’re a movie buff, each scene is packed with references. It's rare that I laugh so hard I almost start crying. Thank you, Lord & Miller, you have failed to disappoint me yet again.

22 Jump Street feels almost like a copy of its two years older predecessor, it succeeds at times, other times, less so. Essentially, it's a variation of the first film, but I still enjoyed it – as long it stuck to action and humor. When it came to the "pouring out of the heart", on the other hand, it was rather annoying and unnecessary – the bromance-line worked better in this regard with the first one. But as I said, I was entertained again (though a little less so) and I have to commend the imaginatively done title scenes. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum mostly hold their own, albeit overacting at times, Ice Cube could have thrown in a different angry face at times, Jillian Bell was hilariously awkward (or was it awkwardly funny?), and Rob Riggle is an incredible (almost literally) "vee-jay". A playful, yet shallow sequel!

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%.

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.
