As naughty as "21 Jump Street"

Rating: 7/10 (11 June 2014)

Never change the winning formula perhaps the best choice to continue this sequel. "22 Jump Street" is pretty much the same movie as it's predecessor. The storyline itself has some similarity from previous installment, if in "21 Jump Street" two police officer, Jenko and Schmidt undercover at high school to find drug dealer, while this time they go undercover as college student. Fortunately repetition doesn't always mean bad thing, the film seems taking positive side from "21 Jump Street" and gets more upgrade in action sequences, the relationship between Jenko and Schmidt as partner and especially some smart jokes. Couple of jokes are really that funny with added bizarre moment which audiences could never predicted.
There are two dynamic duo whose role can't be separated from "22 Jump Street". The rising director, Phil Lord-Christopher Miller who was known as the creator of "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatball", "The Lego Movie" and of course "21 Jump Street" seems comfortable to exploit some material from the first installment they've built also the way they inserted additional scene at end credit is brilliant, while Channing Tatum-Jonah Hill's chemistry keep audiences entertained at the entire scenes in it. Overall "22 Jump Street" is a film that despite following the formula from it's predecessor, feels even more fresh and solid. It levels the standard of "21 Jumps Street" and watching it, could be a cure to wipe out some stressful feelings.
