Review of 22 Jump Street (2014) by Rox22 — 30 Jul 2015
Irony of ironies is that almost everything I would like to say was already said in one of the opening scenes. The first movie was surprisingly good, so the second movie does more of the same, just raising the ante a little.
However this movie's main saving grace was its self aware humor that poked fun at the whole sequel idea. Fourth wall joke that don't actually break the fourth wall. Allot of the other jokes are either copied and pasted from the first movie or awkward sexuality jokes that are clearly trying too hard to be more clever than they really are.
Hill and Tatum are just magic together. I really hope to see them together again more often in future movies.
Overall:
22 Jump Street is still a pretty funny movie, and fun to watch. However, just because it can make fun of itself for being an uninspired sequel, doesn't make it okay to be one. A shame as it looks like the movies biggest joke kinda backfired.
