This is outrageously funny!

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2014)

This was a laugh out loud, outrageously funny movie from start to finish and a great time at the movies. The odd couple pairing of Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum continues to work really well. I haven't enjoyed a tandem like this since Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker from the Rush Hour movies. Tatum continues to surprise as he clearly has a funny side (it's not all Jonah Hill here); comedy and action movies might just be his wheelhouse. Ice Cube and Jillian Bell (Dixie from Eastbound & Down) also provide their share of really funny moments (especially Jillian who has a few gut busting scenes with Jonah near the end).
I was worried the shtick would feel stale after 21 Jump Street but I was surprised that it was just as funny as the original (if not better). While it does drag a bit down the stretch, it wasn't unbearable. It's a buddy comedy that does what it's supposed to: make you laugh and *laugh a lot*. If you enjoyed the first one, make sure you catch this hilarious sequel.
Was my review not horrible? Great! Let's keep in touch ;)
