I have never seen the TV show that 21 Jump Street, but that didn't hinder my enjoyment in this film as it had several great laughs, tapping into Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum's comic ability and potential.
The story follows Schmidt and Jenko, polar opposite cops who have become great friends through circumstance. As younger looking cops, the two get promoted to an undercover mission to infiltrate a high school as fake students. The two both experience the ups and downs of reliving high school, delving with the nerds and cool kids.
Along the way, there are several hilarious scenes. My favorite, which I think is the most memorable, is the stages of high scene. Watching the entire movie is worth it to just get to that scene because it's ridiculous but also alarmingly relatable.
In the end, the two find their niche, but not in the sense that we may presuppose and suspect. That being said, the film's story rides its inevitable waves and returns safely to shore with an intriguing story to tell. I think this movie will appeal to any teenager watching it as it's loaded with crude humor, but I think it's quite an enjoyable comedic experience. Conclusion: Worth A Watch
Rating: 7/10
