22 Jump Street

It turns out Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are pretty good at poking fun at themselves. They did it in This is the End. And, hey, that worked, right? So, this is one inside joke after another. Jokes about their personas. Jokes about bro-mances. Jokes about sequels. Jokes about movie conventions. It’s so super-meta aware of itself, it’s like a hall of mirrors. It’s so narcissistic, it almost shouldn’t work. But there’s a relaxed vibe and a quick pace, so the laughs come easily. Stay for the end credits.
