For example, the movie’s big chase sequence is more elaborate and arguably more surreal than the chase from the previous film, but it feels a little bit too much like the movie is covering old ground. That said, the action sequences do suffer a little bit from the sense that 22 Jump Street is revisiting stuff that worked the first time – while the film is able to turn recycled gags into meta-gags, the actions sequences don’t quite have that luxury.
22 Jump Street spends most of its runtime winking slyly, to a point where it’s very hard not to admire the movie’s sense of humour about itself.Īs with the last film, Lord and Miller balance the comedy and action quite well. Given that Tatum lacks Hill’s background in stand-up comedy ( something that he readily admits) and that 21 Jump Street was his break out comedy leading role, it seems like a rather wry wink at the audience. Jonah Hill is the perfect comedic lead with just the right amount of dramatic heft, while Channing Tatum just oozes charisma and seems up for absolutely anything that the movie might throw at him.Īnother of the movie’s better self-aware gags has Tatum’s Jenko complaining about improv, acknowledging that it isn’t necessarily his strong suit. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum make one of the best buddy comedy teams in quite some time. As with 21 Jump Street, the key is in the casting. There is inevitable just the slightest hint of fatigue here, but 22 Jump Street is light enough on its feet that it never becomes a serious problem. It defuses what could have been the movie’s biggest stumbling block, and makes it possible to write off the movie’s potential weaknesses as meta-gags. It turns what is the biggest problem of a comedy sequel into the movie’s biggest and most hilarious punchline. The movie is not so much a sequel to 21 Jump Street as a spoof of comedy sequels in general. While 22 Jump Street lacks the out-of-left-field charm of its direct predecessor, it makes up for that with self-awareness.
