Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2018)

'21 Jump Street (2012)' is an infectiously fun, downright hilarious comedy reboot of a 1980s TV show and is surprisingly good, ending up a real treat and a truly great time from beginning to end. It never takes itself seriously enough for its slightly silly core conceit to even be close to questionable within its own world and all the people involved clearly put so much passion in that it ends up exuding an energy that will put a smile on your face throughout. It also makes sure to build its characters enough that you really care about them and manages to satirise the genre in an incredibly satisfying way. It's certainly one of the best comedies in recent memory. 8/10
