Edited for cable version in a hotel room. Still funny though.

After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt and Jenko 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.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A self-aware buddy comedy that mines laughs from the premise that two grown men are trying to pass as college students while grappling with the actual growth their friendship demands. It's ridiculous, fast-paced, and genuinely funny about the challenge of staying close to someone when you're changing.

Reviews
Nick Offerman directly says in the beginning that 22 Jump Street is a bigger budget version of the same story as the first. It does hit a lot of the same notes, but it changes enough to not get stale and the jokes are still funny.
The supporting cast overall isn't as strong as Brie Larson and Dave Franco were, but Jillian Bell is a standout.
