You'd better be ready to jump

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2012)

Schmidt and Jenko (Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum respectively) are two newish bike cops whom are tasked by the '21 Jump Street' program with infiltrating a high school disguised as students and bust a new drug ring, in this comedy based on Stephen J. Cannell's hit late 1980's Fox cop show.
Well this exceeded expectations, granted truth be told expectations were a tad bit low when I learned of a comedic rendition of a decidedly non-comedic TV show. However surprisingly the film is a great mix of low-brow, high-concept and self-referential humor that made it a joy to watch. With past Cannell shows hitting the big screen with A-Team and now 21 Jump Street, one can only hope that "The Greatest American Hero" would get the treatment next. Now THAT would be epic.
My Grade: B
