Funny Film Thanks to Chemistry and Timing of the Leads!

Rating: 9/10 (16 April 2012)

Really a funny film as a lot of people must had been hesitant to see the big screen version that the TV show, made Johnny Deep a huge star and look at where he is at now today!
Channing Tatum plays the popular but not too bright jock Jenks, and Jonah Hill, plays the unpopular but smart nerd, Schmidt. They start out as enemies in high school in 2005.
But seven years later, they become friends and help each other out on the police force. After an arrest is made but they were forced to let a drug gang leader go as this plays a huge part in the film. Due to not remembering the Miranda rights.
Both of them get sent to the then defunct "21 Jump Street" that is being revised by a no nonsense and foul mouth captain, played by Ice Cube. Who stole scenes when he was in the film.
These "baby-faced" cops are sent undercover and with new names to a high school. That leads them into, the drugs along with, leading them to one of the popular kids named Eric(Dave Franco, younger brother to James), selling the drugs, but we found out, not the main supplier.
Eric takes a liking to Hill's character. The high school roles are switched as Jenks becomes forced to rely on the smart kids in order to get Eric's phone and deals that he has been making. To Schmidt now being in with Eric and the popular kids.
As now both of them, find out how they were treated in high school back seven years ago. With a twist that is. Jenks being now with the nerds, Schmidt gaining the trust of the popular kids.
Really a funny film. A lot of people may not feel as though when they first saw the film, that they would not like it. But despite the language, violence, and some nudity, it turned out to be a very funny film. Trying the best to stay true to the 80's TV show.
Tatum and Hill have chemistry. And that they are funny. When they are needed. Franco has the charm and a lot of potential to get out, from big brother James' shadow.
Look out for big name cameos which I won't say. But you will see them towards the end. A true and funny film!
