22 Jump Street

22 Jump Street (2014) — watch online on iFILM — a buddy-cop comedy directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. The follow-up to 21 Jump Street, and one of the rare sequels that openly mocks its own existence.

Schmidt and Jenko trade high school halls for a college campus. Jenko lands on the football team and finds a jock soulmate; Schmidt drifts into the art-major scene and starts rethinking his whole identity. Meanwhile they're supposed to track down whoever is pushing a new synthetic drug across campus. Ice Cube as their perpetually furious captain supplies some of the film's sharpest laughs.

Lord and Miller built the self-aware humor directly into the script — every joke about sequels and budgets lands because the filmmakers are clearly in on it. Stream 22 Jump Street online on iFILM.
