It’s no secret that the sequel is never quite as good as the original. There are exceptions though, including 22 Jump Street. Gaining the “Fresh” title on Rotten Tomatoes is not easy, but 22 Jump Street has managed to do this with an 84% like rate. This action and adventure comedy stars Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill who are two of my favorite actors. They take on their same roles as undercover cops from the previous movie, 21 Jump Street. However, this time instead of returning to high school as undercover students, their adventure to college. Ice cube returns as Captain Dickinson, Rob Riggle and Dave Franco return now in jail, as well as a number of new characters appear.

Throughout the movie I found myself laughing uncontrollably. Although the movie’s plot was very similar to the first movie, the jokes were original and the college atmosphere gave a whole different feel to the bromance. Ben Sachs from Chicago Reader on Rotten Tomatoes said, “This sequel to the hit action comedy 21 Jump Street is better all around: the pacing is more consistent, the sight gags more imaginative, the self-referential jokes sharper.” The after movie credits were just as entertaining as the movie itself because they revealed multiple other undercover cases for Schmidt and Jenko. Overall, this movie is an exceptional sequel to the marvelous first movie and has become one of my favorites.
