Sequel's are notorious for being rubbish.. I could reel off a list to prove this point but I don't need to...
So it was with treppidition that I went into this one.. Particularly after I enjoyed the first movie more than I expected..
This is basically a remake of the first film... In fact, they take great pleasure in pointing this out on numerous occasions. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum again play Scmitt and Jenga (respectively), two useless cops who infiltrate a college in order to catch a drug dealer. Throw in Ice Cube as their constantly angry and hilarious boss and it has the potential to be good..
And it was.. It romped along, beating the '6 laugh Wittertainment minimum' before half way. The drug trip and 'investigate other people' scene's stick in my mind. The end credits alone scored more than 6 laughs (I always get Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan mixed up!)
The quality dipped slightly in the end chase/fight routines and if it hadn't it would have been a 4 1/2 star movie.. As it turns out its a VERY respectable (and hilarious!) ****
