I liked it, I really really liked it.....

Rating: 7/10 (9 April 2012)

Though I am not a huge fan of old TV series being turned into movies, and I am definitely not a fan of actor Channing Tatum... I have to say that everything in this film works!!!! The casting of Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as two bumbling cops forced to go undercover as high school students was a good idea which I would have never thought of in a hundred years; however, the truly genius twist was to make Hill (Schmidt - the smart guy) the popular kid and Tatum (Jenko - the ex-jock) the nerdy geek. The scenes are funny, and well written. The plot of the film centers on an illegal drug ring in a local high school, in which out two heroes must infiltrate to uncover the drug's source and dealers. However, the best scene of the film has to be the cameo appearances of the show's original cast members at the film's climax, it was truly unexpected. Ice Cube was a brilliant choice for Captain Dickson, and plays the hard-ass Jump Street Team Chief with reckless abandonment. Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller's plan to make this film into a comedy was a stroke of genius as well; while both Hill and Tatum compliment each other's acting style really well. Kudos to all involved, I highly recommend this film and found it quite enjoyable. SEE MORE OF MY REVIEWSAT 'THE FARIS REEL' ON FACEBOOK.
