22 Jump Street

22 Jump Street

Unless Vietnamese Jesus is not enough indication, one must be able to predict that Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s overtly self-knowing sequel “22 Jump Street” is about, first of all, taking things up a notch. Hopping from twenty-one to the next is not entirely a convincing prefiguration (it is our lifelong lesson not to trust numbers when it comes to sequels), but everything else in the film are strong cases of progress: Channing Tatum’s timing as a comic actor; the unceasing frenzy of random gags; and the Jump Street headquarters itself, setting as one of the more defining aspects of the film.

From the rundown Korean church of “21 Jump Street,” the program is relocated to a Vietnamese church across, drawing out a much punnier nick — VJ. The headquarters is more advanced and elaborate, and to unnecessary excess. This, Lord and Miller touches a handful of times, unconcerned of what form the sequel will take if they did this, and that, and this, and that once more.  For the most part, it works; this unprecedented mix of sleazy, raunchy, meta-textual humor. The two directors seem invested greatly on commentary, placing layers upon layers of never-waning gags about the industry, pushing forward the idea of sequels as no beyond than commercial projects. And though this is a template that worked gloriously in their so far most realized film “The Lego Movie,” Lord and Miller has put out a worthwhile satiric discussion on how Hollywood franchises work.

It is not difficult to miss the ‘fundamentals’ — if you so will — that Lord and Miller propose. Sequels, per this specific sequel, are follow-ups that are almost always required to be bigger than the film it precedes. This means a larger budget (but not so that skimping grows an ignored option) and returning to the roots of the first film. In exploring this in one or two times too many, Lord and Miller self-deprecatingly makes their first film as reference, and the result, unsurprisingly (if it does not wear itself out a little), is a considerable success. You don’t play beyond meta, it appears! — it is equivalent to playing Vietnamese Jesus. Do note.

Ultimately it is the comedic flair of both Tatum and Jonah Hill, who play inept undercover cops trying to infiltrate drug-pushing students (this time in college) that elevates the film. Ice Cube, playing their in-command officer Dickson with Tracy Morgan-foulmouth swag, is always a reliable comic support; he shares the same responsibility with Lord and Miller, which is bringing together Jenko and Schmidt and realizing their now deeper, symbiotic, multi-dimensionally bromantic relationship, so that they are not just two stupid lads from the force doing utterly shitty police-work.

It goes without saying: the best partnerships are those that will stand against the test of time. So if in fact bickering like an elderly couple counts, then what great thing Jenko and Schmidt share! They would pull out spare grenades off each other’s crotches, for Chrissakes. This core rapport, above all, is what elevates “22 Jump Street” among plenty others.
