22 Jump Street...

107.205.10.55

...since Billy Wonka is MIA, someone had to see this and post a review.

Last summer 21 Jump Street was a surprisingly funny film with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum playing two inept cops who go undercover in a high school to find a drug dealer, a take-off on the 1980s TV show which gave Johnny Depp his start.

Tatum's comic chops were especially surprising.

This summer 22 Jump Street reprises the plot which is essentially the same but this time the older guys try to pass as college students tracking down a drug dealer.

To make it even more funny there are a number of jokes about the first film, other films they've been in and how sequels usually suck. This is even more of a bromance than the first film and this aspect gets a lot of play. The only line missing was "it's me, not you."

Again this was surprisingly funny and one of the better comedies so far this summer. Especially the bit through the credits.

Recommended.

Well I think the ad said it was the best sequel, so it must be right? Geez!

  ...we'll have to ask Bill the K who likes the sequels better.

but remember the first one as being funnier. They did a lot with sight gags as "23 Jump" street going up next to "21" in the very beginning. All the projected sequels at the end were funny. I hope they make it to "39 Jump Street".

Tatum did surprise me with the comedy as well. I guess if you make enough movies you eventually get the hang.

  I found the Ice Cube vs Jonah Hill bits over his daughter the laugh highlights of the film. Very funny.
