Quite funny

Rating: 7/10 (10 April 2012)

Totally pretty good. No, it's never going to win Best Picture, but it's an amusing comedy. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are both great as dumb rookie cops who are sent back to high school undercover as students. Tatum screws up and exchanges his popular kid role for Hill's nerd, and both find out how the other half lives. Dave Franco (James' younger brother) is good as the environmentally-conscious villain, and Brie Larson (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) is good as Hill's love interest. Rob Riggle and The Office's Ellie Kemper have nice roles as teachers (Chris Parnell, on the other hand, feels wasted) and Ice Cube and Nick Offerman (Parks & Recreation) are great as the officers' superiors. Sure, it's pretty sloppy, but it's funny and clever where it counts.
