21 Jump Street (2012)
Directed by Phil Lord
and Christopher Miller this film based on the television series of
the same name stars Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Brie Larson. Two
bungling rookie policemen are sent to work undercover in a high
school.
There is an
interesting idea in here of having a second shot at your youth,
particularly for characters that had a bad time first go around but
the script never fulfils this potential. As a comedy this film is not
very clever and the attempts at being self aware do not go down very
well either. To be honest I am not really sure how changing the tone
to a comedy from the more serious original is an improvement and
generally I found this to be a weak effort.
2/5
