22 Jump Street (2014)

Directors: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller
Writers:    Michael Bacall, Oren Uziel, Rodney Rothman
Cast:         Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Ice Cube

In this sequel to 21 Jump Street, big changes are not in store for officers Schmidt and Jenko when they go deep undercover at a local college.

It is now common in sequel films to make fun of itself for being a sequel and stating it is not as good second time round. Well, I found 22 Jump Street to be better than the first one. The bromance is deeper in this one with the issues like open bromance handled and it is a running gag. It is an alright watch but do stay for the end credits which makes fun of how they are going to milk the franchise over the next decade or so.

Rating: 3/5 

21 Jump Street (2012)

Directors: Phil Lord, Chris Miller
Writers:    Michael Bacall, Jonah Hill, Patrick Hasburgh, Stepehen J. Cannell
Cast:        Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum. Brie Larson

A pair of underachieving cops are sent back to a local high school to blend in and bring down a synthetic drug ring.

It starts of really well but gets very tedious in the middle. I also found Channing Tatum's acting to be a bit problematic. The film gets less cleverer as it goes  on.

Rating: 2.5/5
