22 Jump Street is a movie that seems to take pride in the fact that it shoudn't even exist. Rarely has a sequel, particularly a comedic one, been so in love with the notion of trashing itself. From wink at the camera dialogue like "this case is EXACTLY like the last one" to a closing credit sequence showing audiences what 40 Jump Street would look like, this movie seems to get the absurdity of sequels in a way that very few films ever have. Hill and Tatum are yet again the big reason why it works as well as it does, although Ice Cube lends a big comedic hand this time. It meanders a little more than it should and the laughs aren't as plentiful nor as creative as 21. However, there are several side splitting moments and enough smug self awareness to make this a sequel that deserves a chance, even if its own writers clearly don't think so.
