In this prequel to 535 JUMP STREET:

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2014)

. . . ELECTORAL COLLEGE, Schmidt breaks the Ice with Captain Cube's family while Jenko basks in gridiron glory. There might be more to the plot of 22 JUMP STREET than that, but few in my audience would have noticed a plot unless it bit them on their noses. About half of this movie is devoted to making fun of sequels, and most of the other half is a discussion of the latest fashions in political correctness. Since 22 JUMP STREET positions itself as a comedy, cast and crew go out of their way to avoid anything that smacks of reality. There are many crude moments in 22 JUMP STREET, one of which comes AFTER ALL the credits, when the theater workers are squirming around getting antsy to clean up all the crap abandoned many minutes earlier by the departing majority of the audience. However, the two minutes of the DUMB AND DUMBER TO trailer shown before 22 JUMP STREET contained twice as much gross material as the latter feature's entire 112-minute running time. Showing some women's sex toys is about as risqué as 22 JUMP STREET gets.
