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. _22 Jump Street_ is very aware of itself, and that can be a tough line to walk, but I think it just managed to get right, brining in some serious meta-humour rather than coming across as arrogant or lazy. Just. I’m not particularly big on comedies, and American comedies are certainly pretty low even on that list. But I have been known to come across the odd pleasant surprise. _21 Jump Street_ was one of them (especially considering I assumed it would be akin to the original series, which was a straight laced procedural crime drama…) and now 22 Jump Street is another I can add to that list. _75%_ _-Gimly_
