22 Jump Street

****
UK Release Date: June 6th 2014

After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt and Jenko when they go deep undercover at a local college.

Director: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller (The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs)

Starring: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Ice Cube, Wyatt Russell, Peter Stormare, Nick Offerman

22 Jump Street follows exactly the same formula as its predecessor. For once a sequel manages to pull of playing the same stunt twice, but for Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum), high-school is over and they're off to college. 22 has a few twists that makes it unique (as sequels go). High-school was a breeze for them and they soon realise it's not easy repeating the same actions.

22JS focuses on Schmidt and Jenko's bromance and it gets a little silly at times. Jenko's new best friend Zook (Russell) spoils their love as the football player who shares a similar taste with Jenko and accepts him in to his friendship group but leaves Schmidt out. Ice Cube returns as Captain Dickson, stealing every scene he lands in.

This sequel has the ability to take the piss out of itself, which works well. 'The Koreans bought the church back, so we had to move across the street... to 22 Jump Street', a Vietnamese church with a Vietnamese Jesus.

You'll have no problem loving 22 if you loved 21. All I say is bring on 23.
