As you would be aware by now 21 Jump Street is a remake of the television show from the 80s with the same name. This is a nice remake and it could be said that the film serves more of a nostalgic homage to the 80s than it does trying to be a standalone feature film. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are good as the mismatched duo and some side characters are quite funny. The film is more of a list of running gags and action pieces. Watch out for the cameo by Depp.

'21 Jump Street (2012)' is an infectiously fun, downright hilarious comedy reboot of a 1980s TV show and is surprisingly good, ending up a real treat and a truly great time from beginning to end. It never takes its self seriously enough for its slightly silly core conceit to even be close to questionable within its own world and all the people involved clearly put so much passion in that it ends up exuding an energy that will put a smile on your face throughout. It also makes sure to build its characters enough that you really care about them and manages to satirise the genre in an incredibly satisfying way. It's certainly one of the best comedies in recent memory. 8/10

Have you seen it? No? There is likely a very good reason for that...it stinks.Like nearly ALL the endless remakes and reboots that have been plaguing movie goers for the past decade or so....all this is, is a heartless version of the original.It has no heart.It has no soul.It is a retelling of a film that we all love and cherish...and it adds nothing to the story. It improves nothing but the special effects--which held up very well over time--and in some cases belittles the fans of the original...particularly in the fact that they remade the movie at all, without adding anything clever to it.Like so many other remakes it is a hallow shell of the original.

21 Jump Street is an amazing comedy. I understand that it is based off of the late 1980's- 90's TV series of the same name, but I doubt the original was as funny as this remake. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum have this amazing on screen chemistry that give audiences a genuine feel for their characters' relationship, and the jokes they get together are just top- notch. The idea of two buddy cops, one smart and awkward and the other handsome, strong and dim may not be an original one, but definitely adds to the film's appeal. Ice Cube as the angry police captain is a riot, and is guaranteed to get anyone busting their gut (especially the Korean Jesus joke). If you are looking for an original story, with deep drama, intrigue, and mystery then don't watch this movie. This is purely a smart and quick- witted spoof comedy, and it is probably the best in the genre. If you are looking for a great time, and just want to relax, sit down, and laugh your ass off, then this is must-see.
