The movie picks up where the first film left off, with undercover cops Jonah Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Greg Jenko (Channing Tatum) being sent back to high school to stop a synthetic drug ring. As they navigate the complexities of high school life in 2014, they encounter a new generation of students who are much more tech-savvy and aware of their surroundings.
Directors leaned heavily into the "sequel" trope, frequently breaking the fourth wall. The film jokes about having a bigger budget and "doing the exact same thing" as the first time. This meta-commentary, combined with the genuine friendship between Hill and Tatum, helped it earn an 84% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes . Box Office Success 22 jump street 123
