22 Jump Street 4K 2014 Ultra HD 2160p

The sequel to the great comedy with Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill from the directors of Lego. Film ". This time, Schmidt and Jenko, disguised as students, go to college. The goal is the same - to calculate and mate local drug dealers, but the rates have grown significantly. There is much more fun and prohibited substances in this environment, which means that car chases will be even more dangerous, explosions are even louder, and the feigned heroism of a pair of super policemen is even more ridiculous. And, of course, what student life in the United States is without spring break?

22 Jump Street 4K Review
Some time has passed since Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) brilliantly completed their first assignment at school, and they never did anything as outstanding - and, moreover, failed the assignment to capture the dangerous a smuggler named Ghost (Peter Stormar). In order not to lower the prestige of the launched program, the boss again sends them to work undercover, but this time to college - partners must find those who are distributing a new drug called "Wi-Fi".

Shooting a worthy sequel to an action or horror movie is quite difficult, but there is always a way to increase the budget and crush the scale. With comedies, this approach does not work - the quality of gags does not depend on the amount poured into the scriptwriters, and if the sequel stumbles at the script level, it can easily rumble down the stairs, dragging both the bored actors and the drooping director along with it.

Wyatt Russell, the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, for the role in "Macho and Nerd 2" turned down filming in the second part of "The Hunger Games"
The creators of "Macho and Botan 2" probably understand these difficulties very well and, it seems, decided for themselves once and for all: if you cannot change the situation, change your attitude towards it. And it doesn't matter that a fundamentally new, unique plot is not invented - after all, you can play around with the secondary and joke about it, periodically repeating situations from the first film, but changing the characters in them!

The first part of the film raised $ 36 million in its debut weekend, the sequel greatly increased this amount - the first weekend brought him $ 57 million
To be honest, this approach is dangerous and does not guarantee anything (a completely conscious “repetition” did not help, for example, “Scream 4”), but in “Macho and Botan 2” it works perfectly - perhaps it’s a matter of the density of jokes ( everything from quotes and puns to "stellar" cameos!), which pour from the authors in an endless stream. And the word "authors" is not here by chance - it is not only the merit of the writers, much of the film is built on actor's improvisation. For example, in the scene of the drug rush of the main characters, it is difficult to resist laughing not because this episode is somehow ingeniously spelled out, but because of the way Channing Tatum dances carelessly under cartoon rainbows. And the scene of the fight between Jonah Hill and Gillian Bell closer to the finale, which the second tries to translate several times into kisses and sex, is so amusing precisely because of the ardor with which Hill fights off the inclinations of an excessively hot girl.

From time to time, some hysterical notes break through in the picture - realizing that they no longer have trump cards in the form of freshness and originality, the authors try to crush them with pressure. This is a comedy that cannot afford to squeeze dry "British" jokes through teeth, it knocks you off your feet and dulls tickles until you start begging for mercy. Not very sophisticated and inventive, but was it funny? Well that's all, no claims are accepted. True, for the third time this trick will not work for sure, especially since in the finale, already on the credits, “Macho and the Botan 2” is very fervently and relishly eating all possible sequels at once. But who cares what happens next? Here and now we are dealing with one of the most successful sequels of this year.
