IMDB

A movie version of the 1980s TV show “21 Jump Street.”  High school classmates, nerdy Jonah Hill and cool Channing Tatum, become cops and have to go undercover as high school students to stop a synthetic drug from spreading.  Their roles are flipped and Jonah Hill becomes cool and Tatum becomes a nerd.
Surprisingly fun.  Not a bad film at all and a pretty solid comedy.  I would guess that it has very little to do with the TV program, and that’s fine.  There is even a cameo from Nick Offerman where he buries the concept of making a TV show into a movie, which is cute but I also generally hate that kind of thing (see: the “Bewitched” movie, actually don’t see it).


7/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
