I honestly don’t think that this
movie requires any introduction to any of you who are fans of Hollywood comedies.
This is the second installment of one of the most successful and talked about
comedy 21 Jump Street back in 2012. And this is clearly an improvement to the
sequel and seldom have we got to witness a comedy that evolves for better.
While the story is almost the same to the previous one just as the movie want it
to be the clear new addition is the emotional bond that hilarious lead duo
fantastically portray.
Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko
(Channing Tatum) is back with a new assignment to bust some emerging new drug by
going undercover in college. But when Jenko accidently joins the college
football team and meets up new guys to hang out with Schmidt finds himself left
out. To make things worse his new found college girlfriend’s family becomes
hostile.
22 Jump Street is filled with
belly tickling humor. And they come in most strange place with most strange
disguises and sometimes it takes a while to stop laughing. But for any who have
seeing the previous movie this is no surprise and it’s exactly what they would
require. This time the movie goes a bit further and brings in some action
comedy to fit the bill along with extended college comedy. Clearly the
undercover investigation is bigger and the bad guys too that bring in a grand
showdown at the end. Jonah and Tatum are just perfect in their roles and it’s
quite a surprise how such chemistry exist in between these completely opposite actors.
It is a must that I keep a note
of the ending credits as this could be the most creative and clearly the
toughest to make ending credits I can recall. It last for some time and will
blow the fans away with makeup, CG and surprising guest starring.
