Hilarious scenes, rib-tickling dialogues, high-octane action, and crackling chemistry between Hill and Tatum. In short, it retains all the elements, which made its predecessor such a delight. While the first film came as a jolting surprise out of nowhere and surpassed all expectations, this one had to meet the lofty standards etched by the first "Jump Street", and it does so with aplomb and an irresistible swagger throughout its proceedings.
The plot, initially, may seem a rehash of the first movie, but as the narrative unfolds, it's clear that ace Director duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller smartly recreate the magic of the first film through some carefully revamped scenes intertwined with hilariously new material, all the while upping the tempo to churn out that rare sequel that's even better than an already great original. "22 Jump Street" along with its predecessor will ultimately go down in the pantheon of action-comedy, buddy-cop films as a bonafide classic of the genre.
