Underneath, 21 Jump Street is a riot of risks that pay off, the biggest of which might be handing Tatum funny business.

Miller and Lord clearly understand the push-and-pull and hyper-competitiveness that make guy friendships both complex and stupid. That it comes to life so fully in 21 Jump Street is what gives the film an endearing, punch-you-in-the-arm-because-I-like-you-man charm.

I like everything about 21 Jump Street. Maybe it's my favorite movie! lol I've watched it several times and I still laugh at the jokes. Channing and Jonah have a lot of chemistry on screen!

The dialogue is fast-paced and full of pop-culture references. It all makes for an entertaining blend of buddy-cop action and irreverent teen-comedy satire.

Like many almost-great comedies, 21 Jump Street is frontloaded with the best go-for-broke gags and lines.

By casting Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as fish-out-of-water buffoons, the irreverent result feels fresher than most '80s-show reboots, effectively flipping the address Johnny Depp made famous.

This cheerfully chaotic, gleefully vulgar action-comedy retread of the old television series has box-office success written all over it, and where's the harm? It's irresistibly funny until it isn't.

Not that anyone was asking for a reboot of the series that is perhaps best remembered as the launching pad for Johnny Depp's career, but here it comes anyway. The film will probably gain several points on the likability scale for its sheer unexpectedness and modest ambitions.

Without a doubt the funniest comedy I have watched in a very long time. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are an absolute laugh riot here and work perfectly together. Honestly the whole movie is just one non-stop laugh fest. The humor is basically what you would expect from a modern R-rated comedy but only a thousand times smarter. Truly one of the best comedies I have ever seen and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for laughs and doesn't mind the profane and crude humor this movie often offers.

Very funny movie. An unlikely cop, and a airhead cop. Equals 2 very hilarious cops.

you have the right to.. 21 Jump Street Its the same old buddy-cop movie with all the clichéd things like conflicts between partners, same old characters and same old case but they have rebooted it for the younger generation and they have done it with a style.

Une satire, que dis-je, une caricature pas très fine (!) de la série homonyme bien naze des années je-sais-plus-quoi, ces années où Johnny Depp était un encore un post-ado débilos dans une pauvre série bien naze mais ici remise au goût du jour -si j'ose dire- dans une pantalonnade non-stop inédite de bouffonnerie inexpugnable. Il faut avouer néanmoins que le premier tiers fait rire malgré soi (et nous en avons presque honte...) tant nos deux branques en font des mégatonnes dans la connerie la plus pure (à 99% au moins, une prouesse !) au fil de ce qui ressemble à un Vidéogag de gogols autistes en première base. Les acteurs ont cela dit parfaitement la gueule de l'emploi à l'insu de leur plein gré ou non, là n'est pas la question. Toutefois, la suite des évènements (qui devient de plus en plus affligeante) plombe sévèrement et durablement cette comédie de golmons et la fait sombrer au niveau des étrons du genre Police Academy... Cela aurait pu (et dû) être pire (sans doute) mais il convient de ranger discrètement cette mongolerie sous le tapis et de faire comme si nous n'avions (presque) rien vu.

I just watched this on iTunes, tricked into believing that it was a good movie by the Tomatometer, its Average Rating and the good Metacritic score... and I have once again lost faith in all of these aggregate ratings. There were a few good jokes in this movie, but that's really the only positive thing I can think of. The movie is largely predictable, and when it's not that's only because of a) a ridiculously unbelievable turn of events, or b) a huge plot hole. The writing is just plain stupid and infantile. Unfortunately the acting is bad too - with Brie Larson as Molly being the _only_ exception, but she hardly gets any screen time. All in all this is a dumb, unfunny, superfluous film. Don't believe any of the 8/9/10 ratings.
