Unexpectedly funny

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 2013)

I decided to watch 21 Jump Street on a whim and because I like the lead actors, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. I didn't go into it expecting to laugh or find it funny, because honestly, most comedies don't make me laugh anymore. That being said, this comedy made me laugh at things I didn't know I would find funny.
If you were to play a drinking game or something during this movie, the word to take a sip during would be "dick." I have to admit, I didn't really care for the overuse of "suck my dick," and all the dick humor. Constructive criticism: half of those should have been cut. That being said, a few times they used it in appropriate situations, and I laughed.
One thing that I noticed was how the high school students seemed to be highly influenced by Tumblr. I kept thinking how each kid seemed to be a stereotype of a tumblr user. I find tumblr users to be simultaneously mature and immature for their age, and I found the characters to be a little too ironic. However, for comedic purposes, it seems to have worked.
It was a nice introduction for me to Dave Franco. He, of course, reminds me exactly of his brother. I wonder if James Franco will be in the sequel- it would seem to fit the formula. I like Brie Larson in everything I see her in, and she doesn't seem to be overly-exposed like Jennifer Lawrence.
Overall, this movie fit the bill for a lazy Saturday afternoon. Thanks for the laughs and witty one liners!
