Clone High creators Phil Lord & Chris Miller bring the 80's TV melodrama 21 Jump Street to the big screen and warp it into a raunchy comedy starring Jonah Hill & Channing Tatum.
The film manages to satire both the original TV series and '80's nostalgia, while packing in a Lethal Weapon-esque punch. Hill & Tatum are surprisingly quite good but something doesn't quite sit right as a whole. The laughs are a little short for extended periods of time and some of the more interesting & potentially comedic character conflicts are never fully developed.
It's not as bad as it sounds on paper but never reaches the heights it could have.
2½ Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus lookin' motherfuckers out of 5
I have to say this one surprised me. When I initially saw the trailer I thought it looked like crap but it was actually pretty funny.
