As in the first one, the plot has a drug-related focus (the guys are investigating a new recreational drug that killed a college student). Prepare for loads of swearing - including "s-t," "bitch," and many variations on "f-k" - and some underage drinking at college parties. There's also action movie-style violence, from gun fights and hand-to-hand combat to car chases and explosions, but mostly portrayed in a cartoonish fashion and is played for laughs. There isn't much nudity, but couples are seen in their underwear, presumably post hook-up co-eds converge on a spring break beach community in skimpy bathing suits and one scene shows a man pretending to perform a sex act on another. 22 Jump Street alternately endorses and makes fun of the idea that we should be sensitive, tolerant people, but it isn't mean-spirited or offensive it's just sort of harmlessly dumb. Expect tons of lewd and crude jokes about sex, college, work, and the like (some jokes about a strong friendship between two guys have a homophobic subtext that comes off as overly tasteless/uncomfortable instead of funny). Movie review for 22 Jump Street, a sequel that's less a movie than it is a commentary on the fact it's a sequel, and a not-so-funny one at that. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill return as undercover cops Schmidt and Jenko their bromance is one of the franchise's main selling points, and they keep it going here. Parents need to know that this sequel to 2012's hit 21 Jump Street is nearly as hilarious - and easily as crass.
