Not Too Bad

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2015)

I don't like either of the actors in this movie. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are not actors that appeal to me. I wasn't a big fan of the original 21 jump street although I am thankful for it because it helped launch the career of the beautiful Holly Robinson Peete.
In this movie two young looking cops are placed on an undercover detail as high school students. Their objective is to infiltrate a drug gang and find the source. It's a buddy movie with unlikely buddies, the chubby dorky character and the muscular handsome character become friends despite their differences, and in fact their differences complement each other.
In one scene is the obligatory awesome partaaaaay that is in every high school movie. I don't remember parties like that when I was in high school, but then again hey if they made movies about my normal high school experience, no one would come to see them. But I digress. It's a fun movie. The characters have some unexpected hi jinx and of course what would a cop movie be without the sergeant yelling at them constantly and at one point they actually got kicked off the force. I think that's a requirement for every cop movie.
I didn't find it to be a great movie. But if you're sick and home alone with nothing else to do like I was, then this movie can help an hour and a half pass.
