Film Preview: 22 Jump Street

After the success of the first movie, my review is here although I have fonder memories now of the film than I obviously did at the time, it was inevitable that Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum would re-unite their unlikely duo in a sequel. Although the sequel sending them to college has lead some film critics to label it 21 Jump Street: The College Years comparing it to the doomed Saved by the Bell series after the main characters left high school and went to college that was roundly hammered by critics. Whether 22 Jump Street fare better largely comes down to whether the gags and laughs are original or just an extension of the first film.


After the Koreans bought back the church the undercover police division were working from, they relocate to 22 Jump Street across the road where Jenko (Tatum) and Schmidt (Hill) are back undercover working on a drugs ring in college. After their success in returning to school they find they are in the big leagues against college dealers as once again they both infiltrate popular culture amongst young adolescents.

22 Jump Street is currently scheduled to be released in the UK on 6th June 2014 and the trailer is embedded below:
