xpat-55192 It's not too often when a sequel achieves the heights of a successful predecessor but this one really does. Recommended: If you found 21 amusing, this one will hit the same heights in laughs.

jawneyfloros 22 jump street 2014 Director: Phil Lord and Christopher Miller Screenplay: Michae; Bacall, Oren Uziel and Rodney Rothman Based on 21 jump street by Patrick Hasburgh and Stephen J. Cannell Cast: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Peter Stormare, Ice Cube and Amber Stevens West Plot: The Team of Schmidt and Jenko are sent to a college to deal with an outbreak of a new drug. Review: I really didn't like this movie because everything I enjoyed from the first movie was exploited. There is a lot of unneeded gross out humor also. The direction and screenplay are horrible. The casting and acting are horrible also. I feel so sorry for Peter Stormare because he is wasted as the secondary villain. All in all I would give this zero out of a possible five stars.

John Brooks Well you may think this here is pure Hollywood formulaic comedy onanism that barely holds up a framework to merely work a quick plot, a couple of processed jokes and mix it up in the right convenient format with regards to length/acting/politics etc...And there's certainly a part of that, but this one here is actually well built and worth a watch. The management and resolution of suspense about who the bad guy really is for instance is really good, and it is as everything else in the flick: it doesn't take itself seriously, while still being well crafted.A couple of gags are a bit overcooked, and it isn't laugh out loud funny the whole time, but some moments are well worth the time ("do you like weather ?"), the secondary characters are very good, the action scenes are original and fresh and don't have that feeling of instant boredom as they only start like most action movies over the last decade, it's got very good pace and doesn't feel stretched or stale at any moment. And of course there's a good little moral woven throughout and at the end, and all in all it may beat the first.Good stuff. A deserved 7.5/10.

Morten_5 There are a lot of week spots here, sadly. It's clear that "22 Jump Street" doesn't take itself seriously, but that doesn't make it funny.It's hard doing good a comedy. It takes good writing, timing and spot-on dialogue, none of which is present here. The film would have benefited from a shorter running time, and should perhaps have ended after the first arrestment. There's simply not enough material for the running time it has. Hill and Tatum have a few nice moments, but it's not enough and their chemistry is not very strong.
