And a scarily hilarious coda that rolls out ideas for endless Jump Street follow-ups is alone worth the ticket price. From the opening stunt on an 18-wheeler to a spring-break rager, everything is bloated to the max. These lords of mischief know their brutal sequel-baiting wouldnвЂ™t be worth much without characters to root for and the right actors to give them humor and heart.Д«ut, darn, itвЂ™s great to see HollywoodвЂ™s addiction to recycling get royally skewered.

The real bromance, of course, is Schmidt and JenkoвЂ™s, echoing the college friendship of returning directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller ( The Lego Movie). Tatum, ever the jock, busts loose when Jenko joins the football team and gets all man-crushy with blondie quarterback Zook (Wyatt Russell, the talented son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn).

Hill, a two-time Oscar nominee ( Moneyball, The Wolf of Wall Street), kids his thespian side by having Schmidt hang with the arts crowd and hook up with poetry-loving Maya (Amber Stevens), whose roomie Mercedes (a scene-stealing Jillian Bell) mercilessly rides him as a geriatric loser. As stars and co-producers of the movie, Hill and Tatum (Hill co-wrote the story) are in on the joke and happily willing to mock their respective images.

That we donвЂ™t mind so much is due to several factors, starting with Hill and Tatum, a comic team capable of breathing life into atrophied buddymovie clichГ©s that were already old when Johnny Depp starred in the cheesy 1980s TV series. That weвЂ™re basically watching the same movie we did the last time is a fact of sequel life. So, wait for it, he sends them to college to nail a drug syndicate. The captain, angry and clueless as ever, no longer thinks the thirtyish Schmidt and Jenko can pass for high schoolers. The new, hightech HQ at 22 Jump features a Vietnamese Jesus outside. But headquarters has moved across the street. Look at the title: 22 Jump Street refers to the new address where undercover cops Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) still take orders barked by Capt. It laughs at its own dumb logic and invites us in on the fun. 22 Jump Street is damn funny, sometimes outrageously so. IвЂ™m not trying to make a term paper out of a throwaway summer farce. How so? Because 22 Jump Street explodes the whole concept of franchise filmmaking and then studies the shards to figure out why audiences are always panting to see the same damn thing over and over. If there is such a thing as a meta-sequel, then this flagrantly silly and self-aware follow-up to 2012вЂ™s 21 Jump Street is it.
