Good fun

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2015)

Less inspired than the first 21 Jump Street for a good chunk of the movie; 22 Jump Street is a a tad bit too long for what it is. This movie begins to shine in the third tier and the final couple of scenes where the action picks up, the jokes are more fun. There it catches again the funny irreverent cliché tone of the first movie and becomes truly enjoyable. The high school setting was better exploited than the college setting of this movie; which is why it's slower to start. Also, while fully assumed by the movie, the repetition from the first movie reinforce the slow start. Overall still OK and a perfect movie to lazy out in front of. Wait to have forgotten the first one before you watch.
