21 Jump Street - 4K + Blu-ray + Digital

From my site [...] Based on the 1987 TV show that launched Johnny Depp this self aware comedy was one of the freshest movies of 2012. Channing Tatum really showing off his comedic chops and Jonah Hill’s own brand of comedy worked so well together that 21 Jump Street was absolutely the funniest movie of 2012. Despite a rocky personal history Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) bond in policy academy and become fast friends. After graduating from the academy, being sub-par cops land the two in a strange undercover program that puts cops into local high schools. Chief Hardy (Nick Offerman) does a great job of setting up the concept of the movie while at the same time berating Schmidt, Jenko, the plot of the movie itself, and the overall lack of creativity in recent Hollywood projects. “We’re reviving a canceled undercover project from the ’80s and revamping it for modern times. The people behind this lack creativity and they’ve run out of ideas, so what they do now is just recycle s*** from the past and hope that nobody will notice.” Captain Dickson (Ice Cube) is the man in charge of running Jump Street. He was the first to admit he is the stereo-typical angry black man. Almost all of Dickson’s lines are shouted, but they are also all hysterical. Dickson puts Schmidt and Jenko on the case of finding a new synthetic drug called HFS (look the acronym up yourself) after a kid at the school dies from the drug, a fact no one at the school seems to care at all about. Schmidt and Jenko find the dealer in with ease but the supplier proves to be a much harder task. Eric Molson (Dave Franco) is the environmentalist popular guy at school and the popular click takes a liking to Schmidt immediately where Jenko gets stuck with the nerdy kids because their identities get switched. The role reversal was a brilliant comedic move and the bizarre situations are knowingly over-the-top but the comedy all ramps up and actually does contribute to the plot of the movie. Channing Tatum didn’t start his film career with the best movies and only dabbled in comedies. 21 Jump Street shows that Tatum can handle more than strutting with his shirt off and second rate action movies. Only a few of Tatum’s gags are physical and his willingness to look stupid and put himself out there conflicts with his past film resume but sell the comedy on Jump Street so solidly. Jonah Hill comes from the complete opposite side of the industry than his co-star. Hill has been known for his comedies and most of them are quite funny. In 21 Jump Street Hill doesn’t get to stretch his acting as far as Tatum appeared to but he is still very funny and his on-screen personality gets to clash nicely with the action in the movie. The supporting cast is equally as funny as the lead actors despite their somewhat limited screen time. Dave Franco (yep, the brother of the amazing James Franco) plays the popular drug dealing Eric Molson. Franco has done some very funny material. Along with smaller roles in movies he also did a great series with his older brother for Funny or Die. After 21 Jump Street he should be getting some more substantial comedic roles. The absolutely adorable Brie Larson plays the closest thing to a love interest this movie gets. Schmidt falls for her the second he arrives back at school and she fell in line properly with the popular crowd. Larson is really the only character in the movie who got to show some range of emotion. She is funny with the rest of the cast the majority of the time but she also plays the heart-broken school girl very well. Ice Cube doesn’t really strain himself as an actor but the man is very funny and embraces his stereo-typical role well. For a movie based off of an 80s TV show its safe to say expectations weren’t high. Screen Writer Michael Bacall (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Manic, Project X) took a silly idea and ran with it. Admitting that the movie was goofy and having the lead actors be just as goofy as the core concept let the audience sit back and really enjoy themselves. Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller don’t have extensive amounts of directorial experience but they certainly did due diligence to a fantastic script. If you haven’t give 21 Jump Street a change. It is funny from the opening shot to the end. The story is told along with the jokes, it doesn’t suffer from switching tracks because it can only handle one thing at a time. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill make a brilliant comedic team. 21 Jump Street is a mockery and pays homage to the serious show it was based on.

Cute! Funny! Not for kids! I laughed from start to finish. Great cast.

21 Jump Street was a gem of a comedy movie. I came into this movie expecting something great as the directors Phil and Chris have worked on some great movies in the past (and future? I saw The Lego Movie before this one) and it didn't disappoint. It was very funny but also had a heart to boot. Channing Tatum stole the whole movie. I had never seen anything this guy was in, I only knew him as the hot guy for the ladies but his prowess with the material was unmatched. Jonah Hill also pulled a great performance as well. But what really makes this comedy a gem (remember I said that?) is the chemistry between Hill and Tatum. They both worked so well together. They're friendship felt incredibly real. There's is a duo that I was emotionally invested in. For example, I really was upset when Tatum overheard Hill slamming him at the little get together just to be cool. And I was genuinely happy when they made amends before the final showdown. Yes, this subplot is nothing new, and possibly even a cliché at this point but they made it work so incredibly well. You can guarantee that I was as excited as they were at the end when they finally got the Miranda Rights correct. The music and energy and jubilance of the two characters was too perfect. That being said, there were times a little past midway through the movie where it did kind of slow down a bit but it picked right back up the farther along we went. If for some reason you've never seen this movie then do yourself a favor a at least rent it. $4 for HD is a damn good price to pay for this movie. I'd even say buy it too. It's worth it. Oh, and the best part of this movie is when Channing jumps through the gong. Priceless.

The idea of seeing a movie version of 21 JUMP STREET didn't catch my interest but I was surprised at how many of my friends said it was funny and good. The odd thing is the film is raunchy yet good-natured and above all, funny. There is a twist to the narc cops go back to high school as students story. Schmidt (Jonah Hill) was the studious, nerdy guy in high school. His nemisis Jenko (Channing Tatum) was the good looking, not so bright jock type. Years later, they end up fairly useless police officers send undercover to expose a high school drug ring. Though it hasnn't been that many years since high school for Schmidt and Jenko, the rules have changed. Today's high school kids are socially conscious vegetarians worried about the mileage their cars get. Brainless jocks are out. Nerdy intelligent guys are now popular. The rules have changed except for one thing. Someone is suppling the high school kids with a new "feel good" drug that quickly turns bad and potentially fatal. Although the dialogue can get rather "colorful" and there are a lot of references to the male "organ," 21 JUMP STREET is actually a coming of age story between two opposites who learn to love and respect each other. Despite the raunchy humor and drug use, there is a gentle nature to the story. Hill and Tatum work together well and there is a genuine friendly chemistry between them. One of the funniest scenes is when the two have to take the drug to prove they are not cops and the hallucinations are hilarious. Don't miss the small but very noticeable cameos by an original 21 JUMP STREET TV star and current top movie star. We all need a funny movie at times and for once this is not a mindless rauchy comedy. There is a message and a story. It's clear why Jonah Hill was nominated for an Academy Award for another role last year. This guy is going places.

Going into the film, I had high expectations which were met! This film should be crowned comedy film of the year, it was hilarious! I recommend that everyone watch it. I have seen it about 5 times myself. Before I saw it, I wouldn't have said I was particularly a 'slapstick' comedy fan and thought that there could be a few moments with failed humour BUT every funny scene was hilarious!! Worth watching!! And HIGHLY recommended.

21Jump Street zählt bereits zu einem meiner Lieblingsfilmen. In den letzten 6 Monaten habe ich bereits mehr als fünf mal gesehe nund lache jedes Mal wie beim ersten Mal. Jonah Hill und Channing Tatum gehen zu Beginn des Filmes auf die selbe High School. Hill ist der uncoole Streber, wohingegen Tatum den coolen Sportler, der nicht viel Wert auf die Schule legt, mimt. Aufgrund Tatums schlechter Noten wird diesem verboten den Abschlussball zu besuchen, auch Hill wird nicht zum Ball gehen - weil er keine Begleitung hat. Nach dem Abschluss treffen sich die beiden auf der Polizei Akademie wieder und freunden sich an - Tatum hilft Hill dabei fitter zu werden, wohin gegen Hill Tatum bei der Verbesserung seiner Noten zu helfen. Sie schließen zusammen die Akademie ab und gehen zusammen auf Streife. Da sie sich nicht wirklich gut machen und zusätzlich beide noch ziemlich jung aussehen, werden sie in die Jump Street versetzt, wo sie den Auftrag bekommen, sich an einer High School, an der eine neue Modedroge, die bereits ein Todesopfer zur Folge hatte, umgeht, als Schüler auszugeben. Hierbei wird einem eine Menge Witz und eine sehr unterhaltsame Story geboten, die zu keinem Zeitpunkt langweilig wird. Lachen ist garantiert. Ein schönes Extra für Johnny Depp Fans - er hat auch noch einen sehr schönen Auftritt :)
