another stupid-and-funny-at-the-same-time movie

Rating: 5/10 (30 August 2013)

"21 Jump Street" is basically a dumb movie, and knows exactly what kind of movie it is. It makes no pretense about being silly. I understand that it's based on a TV series starring Johnny Depp, although I've never seen the series. Taking the movie on its own, one can't deny that it's nice, brainless entertainment. You can tell that Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are taking a lot of pleasure in their roles as cops having to pose as high school students to stop some drug dealers. Without a doubt the best scene is the Peter Pan scene; that must've been so much fun to film!
Yes, it's almost all low humor, especially a scene towards the end. You just gotta love the scenes in which characters get high. The whole movie is just a lot of fun. I think that you'll like it.
