Remember that? Well, that's not what this review is going to be talking about...errr...reviewing. Let's fast forward about 25 years since the TV show first premiered to 2012 where a movie has been made based on the aforementioned TV show.
Now I know what you're probably already thinking. "Great! Another TV show made into a movie?!" "Hollywood has no more originality." Unless you're a girl, then it's more like..."OMG!! Channing Tatum is so hot! I'm totes gonna watch this movie!" Okay, both points of view hold true!...Yeah, I said it! That Tatum dude ain't too shabby looking!
PEOPLE! This is a "summer movie" warm up! In other words, all the ingredients for an enjoyable movie going experience is tossed into this smorgasbord of hilarity, action, a pinch of drama, & a couple surprises!
Surprisingly, the chemistry between Tatum and Hill work really well in the movie. The dumb jock/smart kid combo seems to fit both personas to a T. Without giving the movie away, I'll just say the laughs run rampant throughout the movie. The action scenes (well shot by the way) never feel like they were placed there for the sake of an action scene. And Ice Cube's performance as Capt. Dickson holds it's own among the likes of Beverly Hills Cop's Inspector Todd, Bad Boys' Capt. Howard, & dare I say Top Gun's Stinger!
To sum it all up, 21 Jump Street is a great, must see action/comedy that I highly recommend you go watch in the theaters! I give it an "Awesome" rating!
