Some sexual jokes, on the high end of moderate impact. Examples include dildos waved around, men making 'fisting' gestures and plastic penises being shot at during target practice.

Violence & Gore:The violence is generally comic and undetailed, but there is the occasional sight of bloody detail during gunfights, including a blood spurt as a man is shot in the chest and another when a man is shot in the arm.
A man is seen with a meat cleaver embedded in his chest and another man holds his bloody crotch and shouts that he has been shot 'in the dick'.
Some strong but masked punches to the face as man hits woman in a comic fist fight. 

Profanity:  Strong profanity is used throughout, including approx. 100 uses of the f-word.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: a fake drug is discussed, consumed and shown what its like on it.


Frightening/Intense Scenes: Rated R: for language throughout, sexual content, drug material, brief nudity and some violence



Story: After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) when they go deep undercover at a local college. But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team, and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. Now they don't have to just crack the case - they have to figure out if they can have a mature relationship. If these two overgrown adolescents can grow from freshmen into real men, college might be the best thing that ever happened to them.

Likes : What ever they did with this film made this better than the first film, this was comical genius, Some scene's will seriously have you on the floor laughing you head, special with one scene with Jonah hill & Ice cude in the office had me in stitch laughing my head off watching Channing Tatum character running around tell everyone what he just realise to everyone seeing ice cude character just stood there with a straight angry face was priceless you could get better comedy than that.
The original movie, 21 Jump Street, was a surprise hit back in 2012. It was a movie filled with many belly aching moments of laughter. For that reason, of all the comedies of 2014 this sequel may be the most anticipated, at least it was for me. So the question is: does it deliver on the high expectations? And the answer is: oh hell yes it does because this was seriously funny, Ice cube was just funny in his own right when he loss it, it just made me laugh harder i had tears in my eyes from laughing.
One thing ive noticed about this film is the fact Jonah hill & Channing Tatum are good together they play off each other so well it show on screen with such a funny comedy duo, as before they are sent in to collage to fun drug dealer its just total mayhem with some classic one liners that pays homage to lethal weapon, with some extremely funny moments you will be crying with laughter,This is must to see because this live up to every hype if you seriously cant find this funny in some way there is some thing wrong because this is without a doubt comical genius special with the end credits.

Dislikes : There was one scene at the being which didn't make sense in the gun fight but the rest of the rest was brilliant.

Overall : Extremely funny, great acting, comical genius.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 10 out of 10 for comical moments.
