"The only thing getting blown tonight is their cover"

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2012)

A pair of underachieving cops are sent back to a local high school to blend in and bring down a synthetic drug ring.
Prologue: Sitting at home, nothing to do, the idea came up to see a movie. To narrow it down a bit; a comedy. I've seen the trailers to 21 Jump Street, and to be honest the movie looked like any other before. To be completely honest, I thought it looked pretty stupid. Nevertheless, with zero expectations, I went and saw the movie.
Review: 21 Jump Street is simply hilarious. I've never seen a film where every 5 seconds, there is someone cracking up in the theater. Everybody was enjoying their selves and I just have never been so entertained. Firstly, the comedy was genius, clever, comedic gold. The jokes were hit right on point, and each actor did a great job with their roles. That leads me to the actors. We've all seen Jonah Hill before, and it seems like he's a Seth Rogan clone that plays the same role EVERY SINGLE MOVIE. Thing is, the movie suits him, and he plays it well. The thing that EVERYBODY was worried about how Channing Tatum would play his role, especially how he's such a horrible actor. But this was his first role in a comedy, and everybody suspected the movie would suck with him. WRONG! He was great, hilarious, and I see a great comedic career ahead of him. The jokes and gags were straight up clever. I bet that there was one joke that someone did not catch because everything they say is so fast-paced and hilarious, that maybe their laughs made the next joke inaudible. They take a grab at pop-culture, the antics of high-school, and the world we live in today. The last thing I'd like to praise over is how great it was. Yes, the film does have it's flaws, but I simply rate this over how new and inventive it worked. It was downright hilarious, and had some classic scenes that'll win you over. The screenplay, the directing, and the cinematography were all great too, so the movie does deserve a 9/10...
Epilogue: I recommend this movie! Of course there will be people who will doubt this movie, because maybe they wanted more something, but I recommend to ignore them as well. The movie works in many levels and is thankfully something new. Don't believe me? The movie scores 7.7 on IMDb and a 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah, the movie was great. Even if your not feeling it, the cameo by Johnny Depp is worth the price alone. 9/10.
