Hilarious Sequel

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2014)

I saw "22 Jump Street", starring Jonah Hill-Django Unchained, Grandma's Boy; Channing Tatum-White House Down, She's the Man; Ice Cube-Ride Along, Anaconda; Peter Stormare-Pain & Gain, Nacho Libre and Wyatt Russell-This is 40, Cowboys & Aliens, and he is also the son of Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn and the half brother to Oliver & Kate Hudson.
This is a sequel to the 2012 movie, which is based on the 1987 t.v. series which starred Johnny Depp and, believe it or not, this installment is funnier than the first one. Jonah and Channing return as the two police officers that go undercover in schools because they happen to look young. In the first movie, they went to high school, but now, they are off to college. Ice returns as their foul-mouthed boss that runs the undercover operation and he has several funny scenes; one in particular is at a dinner get together where he looses his temper-for good reason. Wyatt plays a football player that is under suspicion at the college for being a drug dealer and Peter is the main bad guy that is trying to flood the college with his drugs. As far as the plot goes, there is not anything new here, but the actual funny comes from the execution of the material. For instance, there is a running joke about their ages involving several other students commenting on them being too old for college. There are several cameos-some from the original t,v, show-and during the end credits there are previews of the next ten to fifteen Jump Street movies-23 Jump, 24 Jump,etc. I-and most of the audience I was with-was laughing out loud, throughout the whole movie. It's rated "R" for language, sexual content, violence and drug material and has a running time of 1 hour & 52 minutes. This was a hilarious sequel and I would definitely buy it on Blu-Ray.
