22 Jump Street
Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill return as Officers Jenko and Schmidt, respectively, and Ice Cube is back as Capt. Dickson, angry as ever about, well, everything. He explains to his star officers that this time their assignment is to infiltrate a college campus, where they are to locate a drug dealer whose product has been linked to a student’s death. As college freshmen, the two reprise their roles as jock and nerd, frat boy and intellectual (sort of). Jenko joins the football team and Schmidt tries his hand at slam poetry. In the process, they both make connections—one a “bromance,” the other an actual romance—that threaten to fracture their friendship. There is, thankfully, plenty of action as well, from football games to car chases to a particularly hilarious scene in which the pair try to stealthily break into a frat house to install surveillance equipment while high on the drugs whose source they’re trying to find. A notable addition to the cast is Jillian Bell (Workaholics), whose quiet introduction into scenes (“How long have you been sitting there?”) is second in hilarity only to her deadpan delivery. Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas and Paradise Cinema 7. Rated R.
