[hilarious]

21 Jump Street (2012)
IMDB- 7.4
Rotten Tomatoes- 85
RJG Ratings- 85

2 undercover cops pose as high school teenagers to bust a drug gang.

Starring- Jonah Hill,Channing Tatum
Director- Phil Lord ,Chris Miller

21 Jump Street is a reboot of the hit 80's TV show of the same name.Even though the TV show was more dramatic in nature,the movie is a laugh riot.

Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are the main leads.Even though they may not seem to be a perfect pair,they give their best.Tatum feels to be a bit too old for this role and his comic sense isnt too good,but he is able to give a decent performance.But its Jonah Hill that steals the show.Being part of the "new-age comedians" ,gives him the edge ,and he carries out the jokes perfectly and is at ease from start to finish.

The story is quite simple and doesnt pull any twists or turns ,but its the comedy scenes that are its main highlights.

The main strength of the movie is its first half which moves along perfectly thanks to the chemistry between the lead pair.But as it enters the finale the jokes give way for some action and becomes a bit dull compared to the first half.But this isnt much of a problem,since the movie has already hooked the viewers.

Overall,21 Jump Street is the best comedy movie ive seen this year (yet). Definitively worth checking out.

Acting- 4/5
Story- 4/5
Direction- 4/5
Comedy- 4.5/5
Action-3.5/5
