Totally Unexpectedly......Hilarious!

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2013)

I did not see this one coming at all, but 21 Jump Street happens to be a very funny action film with some spot-on acting, some crazy jokes, good action sequences, and a beloved source material. When I first heard that they were going to remake this, I was not happy. But this is possibly the best way to remake it. Some jokes may be tasteless, but they are pretty darn funny. The film also deliver the thrills with some high-speed car chases and fiery shootouts.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller's film is about two fresh-faced cops named Schmidt and Jenko who are forced to go undercover at a high school to prevent the outbreak of a new, devastating drug.
The acting is way better than anyone could have hoped for. Channing Tatum is starting to get on my good side and he was very good here. He and Jonah Hill are very likable and have outstanding chemistry. However, Ice Cube stole the show. He has some very memorable one-liners and they still crack me up just thinking about them.
Overall, this a totally unexpected surprise. I was not expecting much out of this, but I got a better film than most people realized. I'm so happy they were able to pull the film off. I guess they left a few surprises in here which pleased most people. I also like how I felt nostalgia because I was able to relive my high school moments all over again. I rate this film 9/10.
