"Lambos are lame."

Rating: 6/10 (31 October 2014)

I had very low expectations for the 21 Jump Street movie but found it to be surprisingly good. So I looked forward to this sequel and, for the most part, I wasn't disappointed. It starts off strong but does lose some steam around the hour mark. It really should have been ninety minutes instead of nearly two hours but no one likes to trim the fat in movies these days. Speaking of fat, ever since "losing" all that weight, Jonah Hill appears to be aging faster. He looks forty-five here but they wisely write that into the script. Particularly in the form of insults toward Hill from Jillian Bell. She's the funniest part of the movie, by the way. Anyway, it's a pretty good comedy. Hill and Channing Tatum both do fine. Ice Cube gets more to work with this time. Lots of in-jokes and self-deprecating humor to go around. If you liked the first movie, you should enjoy this one.
