22 Jump Street

J-Bang Reviews present "22 Jump Street." THE UNCENSORED VERSION! 22 Jump Street is fucking hilarious. It manages to combine toilet humor and awkward situations into a successful formula that simultaneously tells a compelling storyline. And the storyline itself is a joke. Right off the bat, the characters hint that the movie is going to do the "exact same thing" as the first movie did. "21 Jump Street" took place in high school, where the two cops, Jenko (Channing Tatum) and Schmidt (Jonah Hill) go undercover as students to find and arrest a drug dealer who is selling a deadly new drug to students."22 Jump Street" tells the EXACT. SAME. STORY. But instead of high school, it takes place in College. The fact that it tells the same story as the first one doesn't discredit its value. As a matter of fact, I appreciate that the film's formula is the same because certain franchises tend to try and tell a different story in the sequel and in the end, the film is a disaster. I could name drop a couple of films that do this, but to save time, I'll move on. But just to note, not all movies that follow the same formula as the first movie are successful either, so in this case, 22 Jump Street got lucky. The chemistry between Tatum and Hill is spectacular as usual. Both prove to be funny and easy to relate to. I believe that these two are the next dynamic duo in Hollywood that can and will make us laugh as long as they're together on screen along with such tag teams like James Franco and Seth Rogen, and Jim Carry and Jeff Daniels. The movie is pretty long but manages to keep the audience engaged from minute to minute unlike other movies I've seen *cough Wolf of Wall Street *cough The Amazing Spider-Man 2 *cough...Need. WATER. NOW!! Anyhow, 22 Jump Street delivers memorable moments and awesome cameos that is worth buying a ticket to see. I can't say it's better than the first. I can't say it's worst than the first. That's because it's exactly like the first. And so, it gets the same score as the first. "22 Jump Street" gets a 4 out of 5.
