Summary: After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) when they go deep undercover at a local college.

But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team, and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. Now they don't have to just crack the case - they have to figure out if they can have a mature relationship.

A hugely enjoyable shambles. It’s a comic deconstruction of that most useless of Hollywood artifacts — the blockbuster sequel — that refuses to take itself seriously on any level, which, face it, is just what we need as the summer boom-boom season shifts into high gear. Read full review

Rare is the film that understands the pleasures of letting an enraged Ice Cube take out his wrath on an all-you-can-eat buffet. And which other blockbuster in 2014 would interrupt its climactic car chase to lob in a gag about Benny Hill? Read full review

A great deal of insanity ensues, none of which would work if Tatum and Hill weren't so disarming in their roles. Their level of comfort with the characters and each other helps 22 click. Read full review

There are certainly a lot of actors who can match Hill and Tatum as comic actors, but it’s the oddball connection between these two that makes for a very entertaining couple of hours at the movies. Read full review

22 Jump Street squeezes every last drop of comic inspiration it can get from Tatum and Hill, as well as the very notion of a sequel to such a superfluous enterprise. Read full review

As funny and batshit insane as the movie often is, the fact that 22 Jump Street knows it's a tiresome sequel doesn't save it from being a tiresome sequel, even as Lord and Miller struggle to conceal the bitter pill of convention in the sweet tapioca pudding of wall-to-wall jokes. Read full review

all i can say about this movie: the most hilarious comedy of the year! i really liked "21 Jump Street". it caught me by surprise, cause it was hilarious and awesome! but "22 Jump Street" is even better. in this movie, Schmidt and Jenko go undercover in college to stop a new drug ring forall i can say about this movie: the most hilarious comedy of the year! i really liked "21 Jump Street". it caught me by surprise, cause it was hilarious and awesome! but "22 Jump Street" is even better. in this movie, Schmidt and Jenko go undercover in college to stop a new drug ring for happening. like i said, this movie was hilarious, and it's even better cause it addresses it. first of all, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. these 2 dudes are the best! they got perfect chemistry with each other. and i really loved what they did to their characters in this movie, like it's kinda like a fork-road situation where they're like "Are we really what we want?" also, Ice Cube's in the movie, and he's awesome and hysterical too. there's this one scene where Ice Cube just melts down and i was like "it would've been even better if this guy could rage and melt down on almost everything". also, this movie has the best and funniest end credits ever! not only was the whole movie hilarious, but thanks to the end credits, it's comedy gold! the end credits are hysterical! i was laughing so much, i was like crying. and whenever a sequel pulls that off, that's a win. my main gripe with "22 Jump Street" is that it felt like it had a lotta plot points that were the same with this first movie. that kinda pulled me outta the movie a little bit, i was like "What? Really?" it kinda felt like it was rehashing the first movie a little bit. but all that aside, like i said: "22 Jump Street" is the most hysterical buddy-cop comedy we got so far this year. and i'll be damned if this wasn't better than the first movie, cause yea it was better and funnier. (with the most hysterical end credits ever!)… Expand

One of the rare movie franchises, where the sequel is as good as the first one or at least almost as good. Funny, interesting and fun to watch, one of the best comedies in 2010s

A must see, Very funny and clever.
One of the best comedy of the year.

It makes us wonder if they are going to make a new one. This one was definitely better than the first one.

I thought 21 Jump Street was hilarious, and so I went into this movie with a lot of expectations, and for the part, 22 Jump Street met them. It was funny in a similar, yet different kind of way than 21 Jump Street was, and didn't suffer from a lot of the repetitiveness or tired jokes thatI thought 21 Jump Street was hilarious, and so I went into this movie with a lot of expectations, and for the part, 22 Jump Street met them.

While the plot was similar, the movie realizes this and basically makes it into a running joke throughout the whole movie.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this movie.… Expand

Definitely much better than I thought it was going to be, not a hangover 2 situation, but most certainly not as good as the first

Pros:The chemistry between Hill and Tatum still shines, Ice Cube is even funnier in this one, the second half of the movie is great, the drug trip, theDefinitely much better than I thought it was going to be, not a hangover 2 situation, but most certainly not as good as the first

Pros:The chemistry between Hill and Tatum still shines, Ice Cube is even funnier in this one, the second half of the movie is great, the drug trip, the Hill/Ice Cube interactions, self referential, the end credits.

Cons: Jillian Bell is annoying and not funny, the first half of the movie is kinda boring for a while, the gay jokes get old fast.

Overall I thought 22 Jump Street was decent and it's worth a watch if you're a fan and want a good laugh.… Expand

With solid acting and a quite ludicrous plot, and as so few movies are capable of, 22 Jump Street maintains the exact same comedic quality of the first one. One shouldn't expect anything more than this, though.

This movie absolutely sucked. Poor script, dumb plot, weak acting. Not funny at all. I've seen a lot of cop buddy movies and this one stands out as being one of the worst.

I've seen a lot of cop buddy movies and this one stands out as being one of the worst. Slap stick can be funny but this sure isn't. Ice Cube carried what little this sorry movie had to offer and his part was far too little. Whatever team wrote this script should be fired. The director should be embarrassed to death having his name attached. Save your money… Expand
