A breath of fresh air in comedy

Rating: 7/10 (9 November 2014)

About two days ago I was talking to a friend on how most comedies fail these days to deliver anything new to a viewer. They're obvious, the jokes are old and the most reasons to laugh that we get are based on stupidity. Resuming there aren't almost any comedies new in the market that are worth watching. Specially because most of them are romantic comedy which only makes it even more cliché. 21 Jump Street changed this opinion in me and made me believe that there is still hope in this field. Now the 22 version doesn't disappoint!! I love the fact on how they joke with the obvious for people watching. It's like if I watched the movie, pointed out all the clichés and then decided to remake the movie joking about it. It's great because you wouldn't see that coming, like you didn't expect them to joke about the fact that the movie is about the same as 21, so it's like they only had to repeat everything again (like many sequels do..). This is what's mainly refreshing about 22JS. That and the fact that the two main characters play very well together and make a different team from what we are used to. Even in the very end, after the plot is done, they still have something for you and it will make you laugh because of their audacity of again playing with the obvious. Very worth watching!!!
