Doesn't get good until about halfway in...

Rating: 7/10 (11 August 2014)

22 Jump Street starts off with awkward, try-hard humour. It starts off with "oh, this is just another 21 Jump Street" vibe. It leads the viewer to think that this movie is just like the first, and that there will be no surprises.
But about halfway through, after you tolerate the bad jokes and the bluntly cut scenes, you start to feel something. Schmidt and Jenko's relationship starts to develop into a full out bromance-bordering-on- gay-married-couple and you start to laugh. The plot develops more, the stunts become better and and everything starts becoming funnier. Maybe the producers put more effort into ending the movie than starting it, but that's how it feels. Whatever it is, by the time the credits roll, you're ready to see 23 Jump Street.
In short, this is a funny movie. It will test your patience in the beginning, but it will definitely grow on you. I am looking forward to the next film if this will actually turn into a series!
