22 Jump Street: Movie Review

I was fortunate enough to get passes for an advanced screening of 22 Jump Street, and I have got to say that it is HILARIOUS.
I can't say that my sense of humour is particularly refined, because most of these jokes are not really all that intelligent, but the entire theatre, as well as myself, erupted in laughter constantly throughout the movie.

For those of you who live under a rock, the movie stars Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, as two policemen who go undercover to find the dealer of a new drug going around a college. This marks the difference between this and the last movie, as the duo go to college instead of high school, which means interactions with fraternities and college girls.

While most of the jokes are pretty obvious and don't take a rocket scientist to understand, there are quite a few clever references to the first movie, as well as some others, that any fan of 21 Jump Street will pick up on and appreciate.

One thing I liked about the movie was the fast pace. There was always something going on and a one-liner to be told, which kept the entire audience engaged from start to finish. Throw in some unexpected twists and turns, and it leads to a really entertaining movie. I totally recommend this movie to anyone looking for a casual Friday night...just don't go with your mother or kid, because there are some (expected) instances of rather strong language and lewd references (I sound like the back of a DVD case...).

All in all, I thought this movie was awesome...plus 2 hours of Channing Tatum's face is nothing to complain about, so definitely consider it this June 13th when it comes out!
