22 Jump Street is first and foremost a sequel, something the movie itself will tell you repeatedly. Not a bad thing though as most of the fun comes from there. In this installment of the Jump Street saga, Jenko & Schmidt are now heading to college to take down a drug scheme that lead to the murder of a student. Sound familiar? That's because as they were instructed, our undercover agents are told to do "it" exactly like last time. In all seriousness though, we all came here for the comedy and that fact the movie goes for a self-referential approach is the platform for all the crazy stunts and jokes we want to see.
Hill and Tatum are once again great in their roles as they share an incredible chemistry on screen and nail their characters. As far as supporting cast goes Ice Cube is once again good in his type of character, particularly in one hilarious scene. Also a shout out to a great Peter Stromae turn, as he explores his comedic side. Overall this movie is a very worthwhile follow up to the original. It's as funny and explosive and it undoubtedly pleases fans. As the movie suggests as well, we can't wait to see what's to come for this building franchise. Let us hope 23 Jump Street is another fun one.
Rating: 8,5/10
