Instead of presenting a police squad like the TV show, the
movie focuses on two individual high school kids. Schmidt played by Jonah Hill and
Jenko played by Channing Tatum. They end up become buddies during the police academy,
and since they only cause trouble they both get reassigned to 21 Jump Street.
The pairing of Tatum and Hill was awesome! Since they are
both distinct individuals with diverse talents, the team up made the movie unique,
fun and entertaining. The comedy and action was laid out well and was
interesting to watch the two actor’s transition into cops. Then relive their
high school years in reverse roles during their undercover assignment. Also seeing
Jonah Hill slimmed down was very surprising and motivating. I am so used to his
older look in Superbad and Moneyball; it took a bit of adjusting too. However,
Jonah's new look is an inspiration for it shows his determination and hard work.
The cameo of the original 21 Jump street crew was awesome.
They did a great job of hiding the cameos, that when they finally appeared it
delivered a more surprising presentation. The only part I didn't like was their
end scene. If the goal of the scene was to pass the torch, then I guess that
segment worked for what it was.
Overall, the new presentation of 21 Jump Street with actors
Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill was every bit entertaining, humorous, with
sadness and some fun action moments. This is a fun and great movie to watch,
especially if your fan of Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, and I am for these two
actors are the next generation of talented souls worth watching.
I give 21 Jump Street an Imp Score of 3 out 4 smiles (3 - Great entertainment worth watching!)
