22 Jump Street- A laugh-a-thon

Rating: 9/10 (17 August 2014)

22 Jump Street (August 2014) A sequel to the movie 21 Jump street, 22 Jump street is a no brainer yet highly entertaining movie. The dynamic duo of unlikely cops Shmidt(Jonah Hill) and Jenko(Channing Tatum) sets the stage ablaze with their rib- tickling antics. Their sizzling chemistry and bromance is the highlight of the movie and creates several comical and amusing situations with events constantly testing their relationship. Shmidt in particular takes the hilariousness of the movie to a whole new level constantly making the audience burst out with laughter with his childishly innocent acts. Script wise the movie is very similar to it's prequel 21 Jump street with the lead pair sent into college as under- cover cops to unravel the drug cartel operating in the college selling the dangerous drug "Whyphy". Captain Dickson(Ice Cube) playing the not-so-cop-like Mission chief and the deceivingly innocent Mercedes(Jillian Bell) add to the laugh riot by being involved in a flurry of funny situations right throughout the movie. Kudos to directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller for this amazingly directed comedy during which one just can't stop laughing. Brownie points for the ending credits which give us a glimpse of what to expect from the franchise in the upcoming years and ensures that the movie is entertaining to the very hilt right till the end.
