I’m sure if I really thought about it, I could easily fault 22 Jump Street, second in the recent reboot of the 1987 TV series. But I don’t want to think about it, ‘cause I had a good time and that’s how I choose to remember it.
To Hell with what so-called “professional” critics are saying, 22 Jump Street is not dumb. It’s actually pretty bloody smart. It’s not particularly deep. Or thought-provoking. Or fresh. Or original. Or mature. Or cultured. Or subtle… But it is smart! And funny. Which for a comedy is more important than anything else.
