Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2015)

22 Jump Street is an action comedy that is a sequel to film 21 Jump Street,based on the television series of the same name.It stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum together with the beauteous Amber Stevens,Jillian Bell and Ice Cube.After their success in the 21 Jump Street program,Schmidt and Jenko are back on the streets once again in pursuit of drug dealers led by Ghost.However,they fail once again in their mission that Deputy Chief Hardy puts them back into the program now known as 22 Jump Street headed by Captain Dickson.Their new assignment to go undercover as college students and locate the supplier of a drug known as "WHYPHY".This sequel is written by Michael Bacall, Oren Uziel, and Rodney Rothman; and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
Jenko and Schmidt go deep undercover at a local college to locate the supplier of "WHYPHY".Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team while Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene.As they try to solve the case,their partnership becomes an issue as maturity and their transformation from young looking men into real men as undercover college students.Also coming into the picture is Jenko's relationship with Maya,who unknowingly happens to be Captain Dickinson's daughter.
Just like the predecessor,Hill and Tatum manage to make their characters appealing and entertaining.Their odd partnership - one being a nerd and the other being idiot/athletic - still provides a lot of fun as it remains refreshing and entertaining.They were able to provide added new vibe to their relationship that the viewer will find compelling.In addition to that,it is a funnier comedy as the sequel did not fall into the trap of relying on the previous elements of the predecessor that made it successful.What made it better is that it managed to made fun of its lack of creativity and despite the fact that its humor is mostly slapstick,crude and sexual, it does not suffer from lack of intelligence.Overall,it is even funnier and better than its predecessor. No wonder 23 Jump Street is in development while this review is being written.
