De Ja Two

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2014)

22 Jump Street is a return to Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill's Jenko and Schmidt, two polar opposite cops who, after finishing their drug bust in the high school, have been assigned a new (exactly the same) assignment in college.
Before you think "why has he rated this movie 8/10 if it's just a simple rehash of the first movie?", I must tell you that this movie makes itself known from the start. Characters such as Ice Cube's captain and the police chief act as borderline fourth walls, doing everything but saying this movie is exactly the same as the first. But this makes it all the funnier, with new and old gags mixing together to form what some may call a parody of the original movie.
The jokes in 22 Jump Street are still exceptional, being rude and crude but never offensive, even when they delve into racial stereotypes. Tatum and Hill again reprise their stellar chemistry, along with Ice Cube delivering another angry and hilarious performance.
Take my word for it, you will enjoy this movie even if it is more of the same, because the "same" was already brilliant.
