I was a big fan of 21 Jump street so going into 22 Jump Street I was pretty excited and though I was not disappointed I was not blown away either. 22 Jump Street has a lot of similarities to 21 Jump Street and they even joke about that fact throughout the movie which is pretty funny. Even though it's so similar in so many ways it still seems fresh it does not just feel like a rehash of the first one. The plot revolves around Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum going to collage to catch underground drug dealers and like the first time around stupidity follows and it's pretty entertaining.
The acting was all around good in this movie. I really don't understand why Channing Tatum in particular gets so much hate about his acting because just like in 21 Jump Street the fact that he is pretty much Hollywoods favorite pretty boy right now does not mean that he can't act. Jonah Hill is of course funny as always and it was also cool to see Jillian from Workaholics in something else. For me the big surprise in this movie as far as acting goes was Ice Cube. Every scene he was in was hilarious. All of the villains were good though maybe a bit generic but still for a movie that is a comedy above all else that is okay with me. For a comedy though both this movie as well as 21 Jump Street both did a great job with the action though I think it was just a tiny bit better this time around.
Overall I personally liked the first movie a Little more than this one but they are still both great comedy movies and 22 Jump Street is definitely the funniest movie I have seen so far this year.
I give 22 Jump Street a 8/10
