A fun ride!

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2012)

Having been a fan of now-almost-forgotten TV drama "21 Jump Street", the series that launched Johnny Depp's career, I was rather hesitant to attend a screening, yet, could not be happier that I went. The movie reprises the series' concept, yet, does it in a new, fresh way. Both Tatum and Hill sell their roles without a hitch. Hill, playing a typical high-school loser, is reincarnated as a high school jock due to a case of mistaken identity, while Tatum, the former jock and class underachiever, is too funny as no longer popular school nerd.
The entire movie is a series of sight gags, yet, the jokes are done intelligently and in good taste, without ever being a joke upon itself.
All in all, a great fun, with special treat of bit part appearance by Johnny Depp at the very end.
A "must see" for full blown belly laughs!
