if the original was solid, then this is movie diarrhea

Rating: 4/10 (20 November 2014)

This stuff is right up my alley too. But, 22 Jump Street is a shred of the original,.. a terribly written, unfunny mess of a sequel.
FOr me it instantly becomes one of the, imo, most-painfully- overrated movies on this sight. This film doesn't deserve to see the light of a 6-point-something rating, let-alone a 7-pt-something... No chemistry between the characters... everything that made me think the original was mindless hilarity, is painfully absent here.
Definitely pass on this one. FIne with turning the rehashed idea into a self-aware, template sequel, but the omission of "laughter" seals the deal for this piece of junk.
I love stupid comedies, I love sex romps, buddy comedies, AND I really enjoyed the first one, but this film is as bland as an unsalted, plain baked potato. The best thing for me to do is forget this was ever made and watch the original a few years down the road.
Painful.
that would be my one word review if I could have left one.
38/100 Will go down as one of the worst of the year without question. OUt of about 35-40 2014 releases I've seen so far - this is probably the second worst film I've seen, and in terms of disparity from the IMDb score... something is rotten in denmark... 7.3? I'm at a loss. Terrible, terrible movie. Expect a slow, but steady decline into 6.5-land, and it doesn't deserve that.
To think that this now sits next to "Anchorman"(7.3),and "Swingers"(7.4) on the career ratings, is simply dumbfounding... a little disturbing actually. Another reviewer said 'lazy film- making'... that sums up the issue with this.
