here once was a lame TV show called 21 Jump St. And it was shit. Its whole idea of sending baby-faced
cops back into high schools undercover to fight crime was ludicrous (and only worked because apparently every student in the school was in their early thirties). You would've expected the remake in 2012 to have also been shit then. But it wasn't. Hmm… Starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as the unlikeliest partners since Elton John got married (the first time), it kept the terrible premise and the shouty black police captain (Ice Cube) and it was awesome. It was fantastically self-deprecating, self aware and self-referential. Basically - it knew it was shit. It poked more fun at itself and every other aspect of the buddy cop genre than we ever could, and graduated with flying colours. Now
back to the present and it's time for the sequel, ‘22 Jump St’. Let's face it, sequels are rubbish. Well, usually they are, but that's the point. Tese guys know that as well, so the same meta- attitude that made the first one work comes through again. Even the title itself doesn’t make sense – oh no, hang on, wait - they’ll have thought of that. I bet they’ve moved next door, and then there’s a joke about it being bigger and better than the old building. And bigger and better is the name of the
sequel game – usually. Tis time it’s college, which means the girls are older, and that most hormonally charged of US rites-of-passage – spring break – gets a look in. High- five bro! Add to that bigger guns, ironically smaller car chases and yet more inappropriate fist fights. Will the boys make it through and keep their badges? Find out. Smiley
