22 Jump Street

22 Jump Street could be the only film in history to be praised for being exactly the same as its predecessor.


The self-reverential humour and film industry critiquing throughout is nigh-on genius and often provides the biggest laughs.


Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum just have an incredible chemistry and even Ice Cube, once again, is perfectly cast.


Sure, a lot of the funniest lines are in the trailer (try not to watch this before going) although one marvellous dining table sequence is the peak.


It's a brilliantly worked comedy sequel and stick around for the end credits because the fake 'Bond-style' film posters for the next million Jump Street films is class.


⭐️⭐️⭐️
