Breaks down my opinion of this movie

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2014)

Back to Jump Street
Comedy and action is always a great combo, especially for a college kid such as myself. If you like explosions and laughing until your head falls off, then 22 Jump Street is a movie that you will enjoy. This movie has all sorts of action like shootouts, football, car chases, and fist fights as well as hilarious jokes and other hysterical scenes that you don't see coming. In this review I will be leaking a few jokes and explaining why I think it is a good movie for younger people.
In this movie Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are police officers assigned by Dickson (Ice Cube) to go undercover at a local college. They are looking for the distributors of a new drug called "Why Phy." During this they run into issues with their friendship, as well as issues between Schmidt and Dickson. Throughout the movie Schmidt and Jenko have to be able to work with each other to get the information they need to crack the case. The ending of this movie is during spring break and has a surprising twist that I did not see coming. The main characters are played by two completely different types of actors. You have Channing Tatum, a fit actor who all of the ladies want and then you have Jonah Hill, an out of shape comedian/actor seen in a lot of funny movies such as: This is the End, Wolf on Wall Street, and Superbad. With these two different actors, surprisingly they combine to bring a hysterical sequel to 21 Jump Street. The character I wanted to see more of was Rooster played by Jimmy Tatro. This name might not be familiar but he is famous on YouTube. He is also a comedian and has been seen on Grownups 2 as a high school jerk who makes the main characters in that movie jump off a cliff into a lake naked in front of a bunch of people. I enjoyed the acting in this movie and thought almost everyone in it played their roles well.
Another reason college students would enjoy this movie is because they can relate to the setting; as we know, it is set on a college campus. The first film, 21 Jump Street, was set in high school; I was in high school at the time and was therefore able to relate to it well. Because I was in high school when it came out it is my personal favorite of the two movies. Both would be very easy for a student to enjoy, especially if you just graduated from high school, because of the timing of both of them coming out at a point of transition from high school to college.
The jokes and funny scenes of this movie are by far the main reason why I enjoyed it. Jenko and Schmidt are self-conscious about students thinking they are cops, and Schmidt unknowingly has sex with Dickson's daughter. Schmidt and Dickson's daughter met at a poetry slam club. Later that night they hooked up, and Schmidt went back to Jump Street and bragged to Dickson about how he got laid the previous night. The funniest scenes in this movie is when Schmidt's parents come in for a family weekend at their college and that's when Dickson realizes the girl Schmidt has been bragging about having sex with was his daughter. During the family dinner, Dickson is sitting across from Schmidt and evil eyes him the entire time. Then when Dickson gets food he asks for peas and the server puts two peas on his plate. Dickson really gets furious and starts screaming what he likes and doesn't like while he is throwing the food around. In the end scene he drop kicks the flower pot. During this two minute scene I caught a cramp from laughing so hard.
If you are looking for about two hours to kill, I strongly recommend you watch this movie. You will be laughing the whole time, and possibly catch an unexpected cramp like I did. From the humor to the quality of acting I would rate this movie a 9 out of 10. Even though the first movie I think was slightly better, this movie can definitely compete with it.
