22 Jump Street: A Movie Review + Scenes That Would Make You Go Crazy

22 JUMP STREET



Nothing can be funnier than these two not-so-old and not-so-young cops, Jenko and Schmidt. 

Jenko (played by Channing Tatum) and Schmidt (played by Jonah Hill) started as enemies way back in high-school. By the time they worked as cops in 21 Jump Street, they suddenly became friends despite their different interests. As they transfered to 22 Jump Street, they went undercover (as college students) to stop the drug dealers from distributing and selling illegal drugs on a college institution. Besides the fact that this movie can make you look like retarted seals from clapping and laughing out loud, the story also revolved around friendship, trust, teamwork and even romance. A balanced meal, I should say.

Moving on...

Here are the scenes that made me look like a retarted seal (comical version):

1. Flashback of 21 Jump Street 
2. The Warehouse Scene:
+ Jenko's voice when he spoke his lines made me chuckle
+ Schmidt's Dora and Boots & Swiper dialogue with Ghost and his bodyguards
+ The moment when the Octopus sucked Schmidt's face & the scene when the truck moved, leaving them hanging chains
3. In The Office Scene:
+ The "You two, are going to college" & the WHYPHY (Work Hard Yes, Play Hard Yes) pronunciation - drugs
4. The Dorm
+ The way they showed their "college stuff" and the beanbag
+ Their twin room neighbor who speak the same words at the same time
5. The Lessons in Class
6. The Open Mic Night 
+ Schmidt's poetry mishap 
+ Jenko was laughing all the way
7. The Party
+ Art gallery for Schmidt
+ The roommate of Maya - Mercedes
+ Drinks + Beerpong for Jenko
8. The Football Try-out
9. The "Visit Inmates"/Jail Part
+ It made me long for Dave Franco (way back in 21 Jump Street)
+ The gay-kind-of-romance
10. The "Get High" Part where Jenko went to heaven and Schmidt was in hell
11. The Tattoo Discovery + "Who's Strong" and "Who's Weak" Game
12. The "You Hittin On My Daughter!" Scene - probably the funniest one. 
Spoiler Alert: Schmidt's dating Captain Dickson's daughter!
+ Emojis from Captain Dickson that says: "Hi Doug", "I'm going to kill you, Doug (insert gun emoji)"
13. The "Jenko knew about Shmidt hitting on Captain's daughter" scene - Jenko went crazy, laughing and laughing and running around because of what he discovered.
14. The Fight with the Psychologist - Jenko and Schmidt pretended, as if they are a couple.
15. The awkward encounter with GHOST in the library
16. The Spring Break - Yeah, "sun's out, gun's out" shirt 
+ The beach & the pink backpack filled with money from the drugs the dealers sold
+ The awkward fight scene of Mercedes (Jillian Bell) and Schmidt
+ The bullet hit Jenko instead of Schmidt
+ The helicopter scene (the grenade!)
+ The ending

 And of course...
17. The Credits - I thought it ends on 23rd Jump Street. However, the fact that they came up with short clips + photos of their (Jenko & Schmidt) future assignments made me crazy. Best part: the 2121 Jump Street, and the one with Seth Rogen's cameo!
