21 Jump Street was indeed an hilarious reboot of the 80's teen cop drama, it packed more laughs and action in ways you wouldn't expect it! It's latest sequel however goes bigger, funnier and even strives to be better than the first (and that's even rare for sequels in films, most fail or even get a so-so approval).
Following their success in busting the high school drug investigation, our loveable but clumsy heroes Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are assigned to another case of drug trafficking but in collage. Thinking its the same case as their first, they attempt to find the source that leads them to the person responsible but even though they are undercover as college students, they find themselves in some hilarious, emotional and even confronting moments in the process!
What makes 22JS so much better is the strong comedic chemistry that Hill and Tatum bring together, they aim themselves to keep the humour going with a strong flow and know when it is needed. The directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (returning from 21 Jump Street and even The Lego Movie) give detail to the comedy genre as seen in 21JS, they have a strong way of delivering the film's structure and what it is aiming for. The supporting cast too does give all their best and in particular it's Ice Cube (yep, returning from the first movie) that is given much more screen time and humour throughout, and even leads to deliver 22 Jump Street's most-confronting but hilarious scene of the film (I won't give any detail of it but it's a surprise on how it's delivers).
Overall, 22 Jump Street is no failure of an sequel (like The Hangover Part III) and actually proves to be stronger than its first one (which is just as funny to re-watch again and again). Go see it while you can :)
