Starts out okay...

Rating: 6/10 (26 October 2014)

I had been warned about this film. It did start out okay with self-reflecting jokes about it being the same as the first time and stuff and them looking like narcs in college. But then they go off into these awkward scenes that go on way too long like most American comedies seem to do these days (the Heat etc.). Same can be said about the film itself: Do we really need it to be 112 mins? It could have been easily cut down to 85 or 90 mins. I never liked Jonah Hill but after 'The Wolf of Wall street' he was scoring points. Points he lost completely after this flick! I'm back to hating him again. Tatum plays the dumb guy, but they lay it on way too thick (Cate Blanchet / Carte Blanche joke? Give me a break). A shorter film with a better script and better written comedy would have been a lot more enjoyable. I did laugh at the 'Mercedes' character who keeps insulting Jonah Hill on him looking old. Judging by the credits I would think they didn't plan a sequel but I quickly checked on IMDb and there it is: 23 jump street. Get ready for tons more lame and awkward comedy, ye be warned ;)
