I will admit, when I first heard about 21 Jump Street being made into a movie two years ago, I thought it would be another failed money grab by Hollywood. I didn't think it would be successful let alone funny. So I decided to skip it that summer and wait for the DVD release.
Well, once I did see it I was surprised by how it was witty, sharp, and just straight up funny. It wasn't the best comedy that year, but it made me laugh and caught me off guard with some of the scenes.
I will tell you right now, 22 Jump Street surpasses the first movie by a mile. The writers clearly acknowledge that sequels are expected to be bigger, louder, badder, so they just up the ante on this film in ever way. It takes jabs at movie being a sequel. There's explosions and car chases. Fight scenes that are sidesplittingly awkward. There's use of filmmaking jargon in witty ways. Also Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are hilarious comedic actors. Both causing the laugher to never stop. I had to try holding my laugher in, so I could possibly hear the next gag. It was that kind of laugher that leaves your lower jaw aching after the movie.
22 Jump Street is probably the best comedy of the summer. You should see it right away.
I give it a E -Exceptional (it is damn close to being top rated L - Legendary, maybe I will come up with a new rating that fits in the between)
GO SEE IT!!!!
