It really helps to give Jonah Hill a little dimension after the last film where he fell super hard for the main girl, and it made him unlikable. Also, the love interest in Maya played by Amber Stewart is absolutely stunning and nearly steals every scene she is in with her smile & charm. While I don't think that either of them reach the peaks of the original film, it's really the supporting cast that carries this film all the way through without it ever becoming tiring. It's really interesting to see how far Tatum has come since the first film in terms of his comedic delivery and improvisational skills (though yelling boner isn't what I'd call a skill). It's truly a match made in heaven watching these two be stupid & awkward in their own ways. Hill & Tatum again are at their best whenever on screen together. From that point on (and even during the initial scenes), we are in for a comedic riot by some old and some new characters. I think the only moment of the film that really comes off as strange is in the very beginning when we're shown that the rules of reality do not necessarily apply in this world. While 22 doesn't do much if anything at all to change the formula it used in the first, it does it all so well and at a breakneck pace that never really allows you a breath to consider what you're watching.
Otherwise, 22 Jump Street is the sequel to the hit comedy 21 Jump Street that starred Jonah Hill & Channing Tatum opposite one another as buddy cops. If you're looking into picking up the Jump Street flicks on Blu-ray, I highly recommend checking out the 2-pack set that is on sale for $10 on Amazon as of this writing.
