22 Jump Street is a sequel of 21 Jump Street. Instead of being undercover in high school they are sent to be undercover in college. After one of their missions went wrong they were sent back to jump street to do the same thing, go undercover and find out who is selling drugs. They are sent to college to investigate this new drug known as “wyfy” that killed a student on campus and the only lead they have is it’s someone with a tattoo. At college Jenko becomes popular with jocks that are prime suspects of the investigation, and also dislike his partner Schmidt. Since Jenko and Schmidt had no leads they went to see Mr. Walters and Eric in jail to get advice on how to look for the supplier. While hanging out with his jock friends Jenko notices that Zook has the tattoo he noticed in the photograph token of the dealer. Schmidt and Jenko are then invited to join the fraternity led by the jocks but Schmidt refuses and that causes tension between the two of them. They then realize that Zook was just buying it not selling it. Jenko then reveals to Schmidt that he got offered a football scholarship with Zook and that he wasn’t sure he wanted to be a police officer no more. They then find out that a guy named Ghost is the one selling the drugs so during spring break Schmidt prepared to go after Ghost alone and Jenko asks to help to they can have one last mission together. The main actors in the movie are Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill and Ice Cube. They were perfect for their roles because Channing Tatum, and Jonah Hill fit the college look and they were both hilarious. Ice Cube was also perfect for this role because he is known to be mean and tough. Channing Tatum was the jock, and very athletic. Jonah Hill was the nerd, and not athletic. Ice Cube was the harsh disrespectful aggressive boss. The audience is to basically take away that if you sell drugs you will get caught eventually and face serious consequences. I agree with the critic Matt Zoller Seitz from the website Rogerbert.com. The movie was live and very silly. Your mind will want to predict what cliché moment that will happen next. Overall 22 Jump Street is an amazing movie that will have you laughing beginning to end. I personally like 21 Jump Street, more but that’s just me. It is definitely worth your money and your time if you like comedy.
