Best Buddy Cop Movie Since Lethal Weapon

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2012)

21 Jump Street is a theatrical release based on the 80s TV show with the same name even though the film has almost nothing to do with the show. However, that doesn't stop the film from being a great popcorn flick of 2012. First of all, Channing Tatum gives by far his best performance as Jenko, one of the two main characters. Also, Jonah Hill gives one of his best performances as Jenko's partner, Schmidt. Also, Rob Riggle, Ice Cube, and Brie Larson give good performances also. Hill and Tatum share great chemistry and you buy and feel their friendship through the entirety of the film. This is also one of the funniest films that may have ever seen. The movie plays crude humor and plays it well. Most films that try this either over due it or under do it, but not 21 Jump Street. Also, the action is very good. Overall, this is a great comedy, a great buddy cop movie, and a great parody (of Buddy Cop films) all in one. This is by far the funniest film of 2012. I give it an 8.2/10
