Just as insanely fun and funny as the first one...

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2014)

Let's be honest; was any of us really prepared for how freakingly hysterical "21 Jump Street" was? I know I wasn't. So, since I laughed my face off (and paid millions of dollars in surgery to have a new face put in—that I regret wasn't Nicolas Cage's face), I had extremely high expectations from the comedy teams of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. And to a much smaller surprise than how hilarious "21 Jump Street" was, the film was flippin' hysterical! (I was fully prepared for hilarity this time)
The best part about this sequel is the fact that Lord and Miller were not shy at all at making fun of themselves and the fact that the film was a sequel. The movie is already gut-busting with its never ending line of never stale, always fresh and numerous types of comedy but the fact the film is so darn self-aware and filled with riding right up to the edge of the fourth wall and hurling out a hailstorm of META-gags made the film work absolutely perfectly as a follow up to the first film.
Once again, the movie has a great cast (especially the new additions to the film) and Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill have great comedic chemistry together. The duo play so well off each other that they make all the jokes look like there was no effort whatsoever in them and end up making the film just one long smooth sail through calm comedy waters. "22 Jump Street" is just fun and absolutely hilarious to the point it is just as good as the first film—something very rare in the world of sequels. Like the first film, I will be watching this movie many, many more times in the future.
Greetings, gents and ladies. Feel like reading more of my rants, ramblings, geek references, bad jokes and more movie reviews (including a more in-depth look at "22 Jump Street" and other films that aren't comedy remixes of old TV shows that had Johnny Depp in them)? If you do, you can head on over to my blog; revronmovies.blogspot.com. If you don't, that's okaybut I would go to your blog if you asked me.
