So on a whim, my wife, my sister, and I went to the local theater to sit through 21 Jump Street. This reinvention stars Jonah Hill and heartthrob Channing Tatum and is a laugh riot from start to finish. Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller pull from classic cop shows and films from classic sitcoms like Hill St. Blues and Lethal Weapon, to build a classic parody that has you rolling in the aisles and begging for more.
The film is set up pretty much like the former hit television sieres. Two hack cops are assigned to an elite undercover unit because they look like and can pass for high school students, or as Ice Cube puts it, "Some Justin Bieber lookin M***** F****." This film takes the Jocks and the pretty people and puts them at the end of the line as the "new wave" aka hipster popular kids take over.
Add a Johnny Depp cameo int he mis and you have a film that is non stop laughs and a load of good fun. I give this film a solid four stars as I have not laughed so hard at a film in years!!!
Just my thoughts.

I disagree! This film SUCKED! I watched it for 15 minutes, then fell asleep. My husband refers to this as the Michelle Movie Sleep Test. My time is valuable, and if I do sit down to watch a movie, I at least want one that does not make my IQ lower. If the movie is good enough to keep me awake, then its a decent movie. This one did not pass the test, as I found the back of my eyelids more interesting. Mind you, I am a fan of funny movies, but not stupid ones! If I had known Johnny Depp was in it I would have stayed awake just to see him! Even watching Channing Tatum was not enough of a visual stimulant to keep me awake. Yes, this is just MY opinion, an everyone is entitled to their own. Im glad I stumbled apon your blog, J!
