After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt and Jenko when they go deep undercover at a local college. But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team, and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. Now they don't have to just crack the case - they have to figure out if they can have a mature relationship. If these two overgrown adolescents can grow from freshmen into real men, college might be the best thing that ever happened to them.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Wyatt Russell and Ice Cube star in this 2014 action-comedy sequel based on the TV series. This picks up where the last film ended with cops, Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum) sent undercover at a local college to find a drug supplier. In the process, they begin to question their partnership and make new friends. Russell plays Zook, a football jock who befriends Jenko and Cube returns as Captain Dickson. This is a pretty good follow-up I liked better than the first and Hill & Tatum are great together. I recommend this.

Sequels sometimes suffer from not being able to live up to the predecessor, in this case, 21 JUMP STREET. Like the title of this review suggests, the story is not as good as the first film, but the comedy is definitely there. This time around, Jonah and Channing go to college to find the supplier of a new drug, WYFY.This film is somewhat of a mirror to the first film, in which Jonah played the popular kid in high school, and Channing was the nerd. This time, Channing is the jock and Jonah is the nerd. They still work under Captain Dickson (Ice Cube), but now at 22 Jump Street (across the street!).One of the funnier moments include a drive through campus in a golf cart style vehicle, chasing/being chased by the drug dealers; recklessly destroying anything and everything, much to the chagrin of Capt. Dickson. The other moment is the dinner that Schmidt has with Capt. Dickson, staring him down the entire time.A good film, suffers from sequelitis, but still funny.

Directed by Phil Lord and Chril MillerStarring Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube​ Plot Overview: Soon after they stopped the craze of HFS, Schmidt(Jonah Hill) and Jenko(Channing Tatum) go back under cover in College to stop a new drug from killing people.General:Overall: This movie is, first and foremost, hilarious. My main flaw with its predecessor is that the comedy got stale after multiple watches. That is different here. I've watched this movie more than '21 Jump Street' and still laugh continuously throughout. The chemistry between Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum is great, even if it follows a similar plot thread to the original. The story is, yet again, very similar to the original but the movie embraces that and uses the fact its a sequel as a gag. I appreciate that but it doesn't excuse the fact its still a copy and paste with some uses of 'Find and Replace' for certain characters. Despite this, it's still just as enjoyable(I personally think more) as '21 Jump Street' and fans will most likely still enjoy it.The type of people who will like it will be fans of the more aware comedy and definitely fans of '21 Jump Street'. Would Recommend.Detailed:Both Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum were good as Schmitd and Jenko respectively and the chemistry they shared didn't feel forced and felt natural. Ice Cube was great as Captain Dickson and gave on of the funniest scenes in the entire film. Peter Stromrae was fine as The Ghost but he was still just a typical mob boss and didn't impress me much. Both Amber Stevens and Jilian Bell were great as Maya and Mercedes respectively, with Mercedes being one of the funnier characters in the film. Wyatt Russel was pretty weak as Zook and, along with Maya, was not a very compelling nor even that humorous character.I adore the entire premise of these movies but I do admit they've exhausted all possible ideas and to continue this franchise but be insulting the previous two films. Again, it was a full rehash of the original which was annoying but it still hits similar notes and retains the charm the original had on its initial watch but continues this throughout.The cinematography was decent for the most part but the editing could be quite choppy at point and it feels like some entire portions of scenes were just cut out. The effects were awful and the green screen was terrible. The actual costume and set design was actually pretty good and distinguished itself from the original. This movie is first and foremost a comedy and in that respect it succeeds. There is also some interesting action, even if it comes of as cheesy and can be a little stupid.The end credits are brilliant and the satire provided with them is absolutely genius and hilarious. The music was fine.Personally, I really enjoy this movie and feel like its more enjoyable than the original.8/10Would Recommend.

The same friend who recommended that I watch 21 Jump Street also suggested that this one wasn't anywhere near as good. Unfortunately I am going to have to beg to differ because I discovered that the sequel was absolutely hilarious. In fact I was surprised that it was actually better than the original film (though it certainly wouldn't have worked anywhere near as well without the previous film). Where the first film had no qualms in laughing at itself, this film literally went overboard in poking fun not only at itself, but also the fact that it happens to be a sequel.Well, our heroes from the first film have returned, and as was suggested at the end of the first film they were going on a new assignment in college. Mind you, these guys to have a tendency of messing things up, and that is what they definitely did in the latest bust. However they are given another opportunity, and in a way it is following the similar theme of the first film – drugs are appearing in a college and they have to bust the supplier before it gets out too far. However there is one major catch – don't expect everything to be the same. For instance, if we remember from the first film that Hill was the popular one and Tatum wasn't – well everything has switched back to the way it was supposed to be.Honestly, I'm not sure if there is all that much more to say about this film, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but rather it is just what it is – an amusing film that pokes fun at itself. Sure, it is also about college life, but the thing is that there are plenty of movies out there that are also about college life. In fact there are so many that promote the college life that people seem to want to go to college simply to experience the lifestyle. Hey, I can't comment because the only reason I went to the university I went to was because of the prestige, and also the fact that a heap of my friends were going there, so yes, it was basically the lifestyle.However, the thing is that there are a couple of really interesting twists in the film, which I have to admit raises it beyond simply being another laugh out loud college flick. Okay, we also must remember that they are police officers, and they are on a case, so it sort of works both ways, but as with the previous film there is always the tendency of getting so caught up in the rolls that you are playing that you end up forgetting the reason that you happen to be there, which is basically why they ended up messing everything up. Still, since it is a comedy the major characters are of course going to have the propensity of messing everything up, and messing it up big time, which in part is where a lot of the laughs come from. It is certainly an enjoyable movie, and definitely a worthy sequel.
