22 Jump Street

Worthy sequel to the 2012 blockbuster about Hill and Tatum taking their "skills" as narcs from high school to college. The chemistry definitely works better here, with the two leads bickering like a married couple instead having a bully/nerd team like in the first film. Quite predictable in the first half, but begins taking unexpected turns midway through and leaves you laughing to its unpredictable ending. Ice Cube really steps it in this one and makes an effort to move in as the third main character, and his subplot is perhaps the best part about this film. Its self-awareness helps hit all the right buttons and it never backfires.
