So Jonah Hill is clearly trying to do a Mexican accent in this clip, as is, I presume, Channing Tatum, but it sounds like Tatum’s sounds almost Swedish. Sure, that’s the joke, they’re meant to sound bad, but the scene overall, as it’s presented in this first 22 Jump Street (Sony; 6/13) clip, is out of context, eliminating some of the humor. However, that’s not to say anything of my expectations for this movie, which are actually quite high.
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.
