Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The Movie Diorama Can we just appreciate the Tagline on the blu-ray cover: "The only thing getting blown tonight is their cover." It's poetry. For those of you who read my reviews know that I struggle with comedies, my humour is practically non-existent so I hardly ever laugh. I actually found this to be rather hilarious and laughed more than 3 times (I think that's a record?). It was good fun!! It knew exactly what it wanted to be and succeeded fantastically. A pair of police officers (who are the worst cops ever, no hyperbole) go undercover in a high school to bust a drug ring. This drug when taken has four unique phases which are portrayed on multiple occasions. They were funny as flip! Phase 2 is the greatest, massive props to the guy who envisaged those hallucinations. The story is actually well-rounded, the role reversal of our lead characters was a pleasant watch. The contrast of cliques from their past school life to the present made for some funny moments. I like the involvement of these cliques, the nerds were useful as opposed to just being picked on. The forced scenes of "yayyyy friendship is important" are quite cringe-worthy and didn't flow with the rest of the narrative. Channing Tatum was excellent, probably the first comedic role I've seen him in and he nailed it. Jonah Hill, who I notoriously dislike, was actually...dare I say...watchable. Now now, before you say "you finally like him Luke!" I still found him unfunny compared to Tatum, but he was tolerable. Brie Larson, Dave Franco and Ice Cube were also decent. A nice surprise towards the end as well. The action scenes were filmed with some exhilaration, particularly the limousine chase. I thought the editing had visual flair, reminded me of Edgar Wright. The soundtrack cutting out during a joke or the quick jump cuts to emphasise something (like the explosion opportunities in the freeway car chase). Honestly I didn't want to like this, but I had a really fun time and found it to be extremely watchable.

DBLurker Go watch "The Other Guys" is you want a good funny cop movie.21 Jump Street is just average. Now I've not seen the TV show it's based on (will do now, knowing Depp is the lead) but I am gonna just throw a wild guess that Depp is far better at acting than Jonah Hill.Seriously, the guy isn't funny. Even Tatum has better comedic timing and expressions than Hill.Average movie. Didn't HATE it, but it wasn't exactly "hilarious".

myNamJef My nam jef, need I say more. The line itself is a work of pure comic genius, unattainable by the likes of noted comedians from Mark Twain to Dave Chappelle.

stefanogallo0 21 Jump Street is an amazing comedy. I understand that it is based off of the late 1980's- 90's TV series of the same name, but I doubt the original was as funny as this remake. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum have this amazing on screen chemistry that give audiences a genuine feel for their characters' relationship, and the jokes they get together are just top- notch. The idea of two buddy cops, one smart and awkward and the other handsome, strong and dim may not be an original one, but definitely adds to the film's appeal. Ice Cube as the angry police captain is a riot, and is guaranteed to get anyone busting their gut (especially the Korean Jesus joke). If you are looking for an original story, with deep drama, intrigue, and mystery then don't watch this movie. This is purely a smart and quick- witted spoof comedy, and it is probably the best in the genre. If you are looking for a great time, and just want to relax, sit down, and laugh your ass off, then this is must-see.
