22 Jump Street

Rating: 4/10 (10 July 2014)

A majority of the hilarious jokes in 22 JUMP STREET are poking fun at the fact that it is basically a scene-by-scene remake of the first one. And I mean that, this is basically a scene by scene remake of 21 JUMP STREET. And just because the movie can recognize and make fun of itself for it does not make it right. I felt kind of tired knowing every twist and turn it was going to take and the same style of joke accompanying it. But even though I knew they were coming, the jokes didn't cease to ale me die laughing. This is probably the funniest movie of the year so far. The chemistry between Hill and Tatum is just amazing, it reminds us what a solid buddy cop movie is. The directer proves himself as knowing how to direct comedy and create great flow between dialogue and set devices. I would say you should eventually see this movie, but you don't need to run out to the theater right away; wait for RedBox. GRADE: B-
