A decent reimagining of a great 80s show

Rating: Null/10 (10 September 2018)

21 Jump Street is a remake or a reimagining of the television show starring Johnny Depp from the 80s. The film is easy enough to appeal to folks new to the material but it lacks the punches of a pure R rated film(this one is PG). Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum play opposite personalities in that Hill is a geek and Tatum is a stud- who are assigned as partners as they go undercover at a high school to find some drug activities that lead to something bigger. There are enough laughs and yes- Depp has a cameo which should excite older fans and the film is basically a satire of the 80s in many ways. If you want a good film to sit down with for a throwback to the 80s than 21 Jump Street should be a great option.
