Great chemistry between duet in entertaining comic script

Rating: 7/10 (16 September 2014)

I liked it so much that I looked for 21 Jump Street when I finished seeing this.
The poster looks like a stupid comedy but I like Jonah Hill after Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street. And Channing Tatum looks so cute in Magic Mike that so I went to see this.
Well, all I can say is it exceeds my expectation of a Hollywood comedy. After watching three movies featuring Jonah Hill, I can confirm that he is an excellent actor. His acting can probably carry him to a level more than just comedy. In 22 Jump Street, Hill is unbelievable in playing the role of Schmidt, an insecure, jealous, hardworking and loyal teammate. His body movement and voice impersonation is impressive. Even his blinks and murmurs are effective.
The story can be calculative, crafted and is tailored-made for Tatum, who plays a curious cop Jenko, factoring in his model physique, Kungfu skills and football expertise. But boy is he hot and surely he makes me wow. Simply dazzling. The chemistry between Hill and Tatum is quite strong and they really sparkle when they are together – even though Tatum needs more work on his acting.
What distinguishes it from other American comedies is the interesting script which has many layers in addition to the undercover cop duo going to college. There are lots of twists to the script, in addition to the action scenes and comical moments, making the watching experience enjoyable throughout. Even the end credits are interesting to watch. Never a dull moment in this fast-paced action-packed crime comedy touching on homosexuality and brotherhood. Quite a relaxing movie to watch.
While I look forward to 23 Jump Street, I am kind of hoping they will change the selling points a little and move away from football and half naked Tatum, etc.
