It’s so reminiscent of great buddy action films of yesteryear, but with the twist that both these guys have absolutely no clue what they’re doing. Thankfully though, despite 22 Jump Street being ‘just like last time’, it’s a great ride. Just wait until the credits roll to see the 75 year plan for the franchise, and some of the witty puns that lie ahead. In fact there’s such a great feeling of honesty that it becomes enjoyable. It’s all a tongue-in-cheek take on sequels in their unoriginality and drive for box-office success, but the amount of self-referencing in 22 Jump Street is thankfully never a distraction from the story. It should be noted too, that 23 Jump Street is under construction across the road. We’re warned that this film will be sticking to its guns – that it’s ‘just like last time’, but there’s double the budget.
After their success in 2012’s 21 Jump Street, Schmidt and Jenko are moving across the road to a new headquarters at 22 Jump Street.
