21 Jump Street ~ Hillarious, go see it!

Funny, funny, funny! I’m not kidding. I laughed (as well as everyone in the theater) nearly all 109 minutes. Seriously! Jonah Hill (Schmidt) and Channing Tatum (Jenko) are two underachievers.  Schmidt is smart but not physically up to the task, and Jenko is all muscle and little brain. They become friends in the police academy to pass. Life as policemen isn’t as fantastic as they hoped and when their big chance to make a bust happens…. They blow it.

Off to Jump Street which is run by Ice Cube (Captain Dickson) who does not hide his true feelings. Their job is to infiltrate a high school, befriend the drug dealers, find the source of a new drug ready to become viral, and bring it down. The boys are up to the task….well…  The roles get reversed. The high school jock, Jenko, finds himself in a world he cannot understand as the geeks are now the cool click in school. Everyone actually studies, cares about the environment and feelings. Schmidt finds himself one of the coolest kids in school, even though he’s forced to move back in with his parents.

I absolutely loved this movie. I caught glimpses of the TV series growing up, but not enough to to determine if it’s a good reference. There is a nice surprise for fans of the TV show….. aw hell… It’ll be news soon enough. Johnny Depp and Peter Deluise make a cameo. Shhh… don’t tell everyone. 

I find myself in the strange position of trying NOT to tell people about the movie because I want them to go see it so I can see if they laugh as much as I did. So go see it…. And come back ant tell me!
