Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have created a
sometimes hilarious sequel to 21 Jump Street with 22
Jump Street. And, the
end-credits portend more than 3-dozen subsequent adventures of Schmidt (Jonah
Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum), including Beauty School and computer games.
The team is sent to college to handle the same type of
drug problem they previously handled in high school. So, essentially, the plot is the same…just
the jokes are different. But, that’s
okay. The audience is there to have
fun. And, fun there is. Plus, there’s more of Ice Cube (Lieutenant
Gibson) and that adds to the enjoyment.
The only criticism is that the film needed fresh eyes for
some pruning. Too much time was spent on
Schmidt’s personal pity-party. But, Jonah
Hill was the prime Producer and Story Writer, so I doubt this was the fault of
Editors Keith Brachmann and David Rennie.
22 Jump Street gets a 4 out of 5.
