22 Jump Street showed it is possible to simultaneously send up and update a 90s tv show on the big screen, but the promise of this big screen update of David Hasselhoff's unashamedly dopey 90s tv soap lasts just ten minutes before an erection joke plunges the tone into a deep skull-against-a-rock dive off a jetty from which it can't be revived; two loooong hours later, all that has been achieved is an overlong episode of the tv show with the attempt to justify the big screen treatment consisting of waves of adolescent humour that really could have seen the movie more successfully released as Police Academy 8: Officers on Beach Patrol.
★★☆☆☆
