21 Jump Street

The only thing getting blown tonight is their cover.

Just by looking at the name of this movie, you may recognize it. For those of you who don't, 21 Jump Street is an extension of the late 80's cop show of the same name.

The whole idea behind this movie is that there are two cops (Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum) that are put on an undercover team. But this is no ordinary undercover unit. They get to go undercover as... Wait for it... HIGH SCHOOLERS. That's right, these two cops are going back to school.

The reason for this odd placement? There just so happens to be a synthetic drug ring at this particular school, and Hill and Tatum are going in as high school students to try and bust it. Get ready for some crazy laughs.

A perfect example of the cheesiness.

This movie has got plenty of laughs to keep even the most stoic movie goer amused. On top of that, there are  a few good action scenes as well. To be honest, there wasn't a whole lot about the movie that was bad in my opinion. There were a few scenes that were a bit cheesy, but it was all in good fun.

The picture to the right is a perfect example of this. Granted, Hill and Tatum were 'tripping major ballsack,' so it is perfectly understandable. And if you didn't figure it out, you need to highlight that bit of text to read it, as it is not quite family friendly. But then again, neither is the movie.

Now, the moment you have all been waiting for. My rating for 21 Jump Street.

BOOM! 9 Stars.

9 Stars. That's right. 21 Jump Street get's an almost perfect score. Why did it falter? While it is funny, some of the jokes were just overused or very cheesy. I understand it is an action-comedy, so it is predictable for it to be so. But I think it was overdone slightly. That being said, I think everyone should see it, at least once. Who knows, you may see 1 or 2 people from the TV show. *wink *wink *nudge *nudge

If I wasn't completely obvious (or you are just really dense), I'll give you a hint. One of the cameo's is made by a person with the initials J.D. Hopefully, you can figure that one out. Enjoy!
