And the wild-and-wacky, anything-goes vibe that gifted the first film with such zest does run through this sequel, too, especially as Jenko and Schmidt navigate a new world order of earnest-but-crazy college professors, manic dorm-mates (shout-out to the Yang brothers, played with absolute hilarity by the Lucas twins), and dating confusion. Still, 22 Jump Street continues to successfully explore the complexities of male friendships (Tatum and Hill should bottle their chemistry). Ostensibly, the movie has Jenko gaining new insight into his own use of slur words, and yet his friendship with Zook is mined endlessly (and sometimes clunkily) for homoerotic jokes. Though it's funny enough, especially when in massive "meta" mode - one brilliant bit has characters commenting on everything from set design to the wastefulness of having the captain wear $800 sneakers that won't even be seen in the frame - its comedic punches don't have the same power as its predecessor.įor starters, there are the jokes that border on homophobia. Sequels rarely trump originals, especially when the first movies are as laugh-out-loud funny as 21 Jump Street was - and 22 JUMP STREET is no exception to the rule. As in the first one, the plot has a drug-related focus (the guys are investigating a new recreational drug that killed a college student). Prepare for loads of swearing - including "s-t," "bitch," and many variations on "f-k" - and some underage drinking at college parties. There's also action movie-style violence, from gun fights and hand-to-hand combat to car chases and explosions, but mostly portrayed in a cartoonish fashion and is played for laughs. There isn't much nudity, but couples are seen in their underwear, presumably post hook-up co-eds converge on a spring break beach community in skimpy bathing suits and one scene shows a man pretending to perform a sex act on another. Expect tons of lewd and crude jokes about sex, college, work, and the like (some jokes about a strong friendship between two guys have a homophobic subtext that comes off as overly tasteless/uncomfortable instead of funny). Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill return as undercover cops Schmidt and Jenko their bromance is one of the franchise's main selling points, and they keep it going here. Parents need to know that this sequel to 2012's hit 21 Jump Street is nearly as hilarious - and easily as crass. Which Side of History?
