Finally something that can stand up next to Superbad!

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2013)

I didn't see any previews and therefore had no expectations for this movie, but 21 Jump Street had me falling out of my chair laughing. I am so glad I saw this one in theaters, because comedies are best enjoyed with lots of people laughing right along with you. I thought Tatum and Jonah were comedy gold and executed their lines perfectly. I love that this movie called out the new generations of kids and their weird trends that don't even make sense. They referenced the old show, and even had a big surprise cameo at the end that had my theater screaming with delight.
It's about two high school rivals who become best friends when they join the police academy. They get sent undercover to a local high school to uncover a drug ring for a new type of drug being introduced. They end up rediscovering themselves in a hilarious journey. If you liked Superbad, this movie might finally live up to your comedy expectations. It does happen to be one of those movies that are split with opinions...some people really love it, some people don't.
