21 Jump Street is one of the best comedies released in 2012, but still can't say that it is a great movie. The bond between Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill is hilarious and the chemistry really shows. I love how the tables turned on who was popular during different eras of high school. While some jokes had me laughing out loud, others just were just gross. The ending set this movie up for a sequel, which I will watch.

what a blast! man, this is outrageous! but the punchline for me was Johnny Depp undercover! wow! (even though he is uncredited).. ha ha!! tables turn & the high school they knew is not the same.. now that is a refreshing blast of comedy.. Jonah Hill as always was hilarious but unexpectedly Channing Tatum stole half the show away.. highly recommended! and i don't know what its makers are thinking but this film is screaming for a sequel.. :)

Not only this engine-revving and pumped up version of Superbad is on par with the original it also has smart touching moments, tons of great unconventional jokes and even Johnny Depp which combined makes it a new teen comedy standard for years ahead.

without doubt one of the funniest and most exciting films I have ever seen, with a fantastic reference to the TV show

The thing I love most about this movie is that it doesn't take itself seriously. Very, very entertaining!

21 Jump Street packs a powerful comedy punch. Loads of references, many gags and Ice Cube's foul mouthed Captain Dickson had me in tears of laughter. Channing Tatum steals the show thanks to his performance full of outrageous behaviour and funny stereotyping. I'm not a big fan of Jonah Hill, after watching Superbad & The Sitter I was not impressed, but he's redeemed himself and shines! Considering he co-wrote the script you'd think he'd be the funniest character, but it's Channing Tatum who steals the limelight overall. What made me smile is the fact Ellie Kemper is in this, after watching her in Bridesmaids she strikes me as a funny woman, she plays a science teacher who is incapable of hiding her attraction to Channing Tatum's character. The gags are excellent and the laughs are non stop. There is a highway chase where Chenko & Schmidt are being chased by bikers, that scene is unmissable. I guarantee you'll laugh at this comedy, everything about it is entertaining.

So f*** hilarious, 21 Jump Street is funny from the beginning to the end. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are great and the movie delivers a incredible and refresh tribute to the old series of 80s.

The classical formula of the unlikely friendship never goes out of date, it is as engaging as ever. In here we don't see anything new but it is an entertaining film filled with some good jokes and reminiscences from the 90's telling us the story of a nerd and a popular trouble maker. The characters and the plot are well built, it is just that at the end everything happens too quickly and too easily, but it doesn't spoil the fun we had at the beginning.
Buddy comedy following the endeavours of two policemen, friends since high school that due to their young looks get chosen to work in one special unit "21 Jump Street" where plain clothes officers infiltrate in educational centres. So Schmidt and Jenko pose as a students and enroll in a high school where a kid has died of an overdose of a new recreational drug. In the next few weeks they will have to find out whom the drug dealers are and, on a personal level, deal with traumas from the past as both had a tough time in their teenage years. Memories and recent experiences will put their friendship to the test, but will they pass?
