21 Jump Street was one of the surprise hits of 2012; a genuinely funny flick that brilliantly subverted its source material to produce something that was both clever and original. Based on the 1980s TV show of the same name, the film starred Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill as a pair of cops sent undercover at a High School, the stars proving to be a winning double act, with Tatum in particular a comedic revelation. And directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller squeezed every last drop of humour out of the premise, resulting a film that was filled with laugh-out-loud moments.
They’ve taken an ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ approach to the sequel however, telling pretty much the same story and infusing it with many of the same jokes. The result is a film that’s still consistently funny throughout, but nevertheless feels a little lazy and tired.
