Not as good as the first but still an entertaining and smart comedy with some great sequel satire.

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2018)

Most of the comedy in '22 Jump Street (2014)' comes from some stellar sequel satirisation, with its incredibly smart meta-textual commentary feeling like it does much more than just 'hang a lantern' on the numerous issues it calls out. Though some of these issues do plague the piece due to its follow-up nature, they're always made a part of the joke and are never truly detrimental. The flick isn't as good as the first (though, it's close) mainly because it is so similar to it and doesn't quite have as strong a handle on its characters or narrative. Still, it's a highly entertaining and amazingly funny flick that will surely keep you smiling throughout. 8/10
