22 Jump Street

Synopsis

This mad, rude, chaotic sequel unashamedly rehashes the plot from the first film, simply transferring the setting to college and – inevitably – the American Spring Break, for another hapless attempt to track down the supplier of a new drug infiltrating the market. Hill and Tatum’s chemistry makes for genuine comparisons with Hollywood’s legendary comedic double-acts of the past; at once goofy and silly, but also heartfelt and honest. Thanks to a sharp script and inventive direction, the film deconstructs the entire notion of knowingly produced sequels and cash-cow franchises, whilst consistently delivering big laughs and a sweet bromance at the film’s core. Loud, brash, goofy fun.
