22 Jump Street fits this list by delivering an engaging and action-packed plot. Officers Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) go undercover at a local college to investigate a new drug ring. The assignment puts a strain on their partnership, with Schmidt finding his crowd among the art majors and Jenko bonding with the jocks. The plot is packed with comedy, including gags referencing sequels, new spins, and superb action sequences.
