Because increasing the budget is certain to increase the profit. Only this time they'll throw more money at it to better ensure success. The logic being since it worked last time, it'll work again. Hill and Tatum are constantly reminded to do everything the exact same as last time at every chance they get to say it. Even the outline of the plot mocks the regular concept of every sequel. The difference being that it's honest about it, with the entire film mocking the regular clichés. Well, that's exactly what 22 Jump Street also does, with as much as possible remaining just the same. Usually all this leads to is everything being the same but with more explosions and a bigger pay-check to get the same people back. Then just like any action, the producers decided to throw more money at the same people hoping for the same result. But to everyone's surprise 21 Jump Street was a hit, earning 200 million and giving the careers of both Hill and Tatum a big boost to two already big names. The movie follows every rule in the sequel handbook: The explosions are more ridiculous, the parties are wilder and the laughs are absolutely bigger.Usually remakes aren't very good, with many bombing and being outshone by the original version. This time around, perpetually undercover cops Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum) find themselves in a new office located across the street from the old headquarters -at 22 Jump Street, get it? - and are given an assignment that requires posing as college students, even though they’re in their mid-30s. But as Travers says, “ 22 Jump Street is almost meta in the way it laughs at the whole idea of sequels, and how we as an audience never tire of seeing the same damn movie over and over and over again.” Sure, the film’s context wreaks of Hollywood’s ridiculous attempts to rake in big bucks: The follow-up to the 2012 big-screen reboot of the Eighties television hit 21 Jump Street, which paired Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill as undercover cops who infiltrate a high school. ’22 Jump Street’ and More Movies You Have to See This Summer It’s a weekend of sequels on At the Movies, and while Peter Travers highly recommends checking out the spectacular animated How to Train Your Dragon 2, he knows you’re more likely to check out the latest big summer blockbuster comedy: 22 Jump Street.
