Review of 22 Jump Street (2014) by Stevesitz — 09 Dec 2014
Falls so short of what made '21 Jump Street' funny. This movie spent too much time trying to make fun of itself that it ended up really not being funny. It does have one or two scenes that I can say I actually laughed at, but the rest of the movie is the characters actually telling the audience (yes, breaking the wall several times) that what they are watching is nothing new and really the same thing, if not less, as the first.
There is even a segment where they poke fun at the budget of the actual movie and how they went over it so the special effects and everything had to be kept to a minimum. This film tried way to hard to be a satire comedy of itself and it failed.
I admit that I loved '21 Jump Street' but this sequel comes nowhere close to it.
