My wife April and I can usually compromise when it comes to renting movies. She gave me the green light one Sunday and I came back with 21 Jump Street, huge mistake. We like watching funny movies, but this film was horrible. The acting by Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum is bad. I did like the both of these guys in previous films, but this one makes me shake my head. For those of you that have not seen this movie, here is a quick introduction. Two former high school students become police partners for the same force. They are fouled mouth and unrealistic when making arrest. One scene they run down a purse thief and swear at him and make sexual gestures towards him when in handcuffs. It could be funny, but it is really not. Eventually the two end up going undercover in their old high school and try and find the source of some new drug that is filtering through the hallways.
The two characters end up experiencing the opposite experiences as when they were in high school, like falling in love and actually learning. They drink and do drugs with the students at parties while tring to find the source. I guess this could be realistic, but it is just done so poorly. I give this film a D, I would not waste my time watching it, unless you prefer bad acting. The end is predictable and after writing this blog I cannot believe we watched the whole film. Sorry 21 Jump Street,
