21 Jumpstreet

I know that 21 Jumpstreet came out a while ago but I just saw it and I felt the need to share my thoughts about it with you. As some of you may know, this movie was based on an old tv show with the same name. Though the movie was much, MUCH more jokes than the original. So here is my review on 21 Jumpstreet.

I grew up with 3 male figures in my life. So this gives me a very different girl opinion. Most girls, like my mother would say this was a stupid and pointless movie. But me, being like a boy, thought this was pure genius. The movie, unlike the tv series, was a comedy about 2 cops who go undercover as high school student to crack a drug deal. As the 2 main characters Schmidt and Jenko (played by Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill) go to high school again the roles change as Schmidt becomes cool and popular and Jenko become a total nerd. While trying to crack the drug dealers there are many obstacles during the journey.

Channing Tatum who played Jenko was amazing in this role. Channing this year also played in the vow. A very girly film. I have to say, I love him in comedy's! He played the role very well and he was able to show Jenkos crazy side and his soft side. He was definitely my favorite character and actor. Jonah Hill played Schmidt, the nerdy one. But as they go to high school again he becomes cool. I loved Jonah in this movie. He felt right at home with this comedy as I could tell. He always plays the same type of character and still succeeds to make me laugh. I love the performance of Ellie Kemper as the chemistry teacher Ms. Griggs. Her character has a LITTLE crush on Jenko. She is very noticeable and totally made me pee my pants. At the credits you see her and Jenko... Getting it on... Finally!! haha. I found her character to be very funny. Brie Larson as Molly was a great actress. I loved when she was high. I adored her relationship with Schmidt. They are so cute together. Go team Scholly!!! Haha. She was a great actress in the film and she was good with the different personalities. From being calm an collective to being as high as the sky. I hope to see Brie in other comedy's in years to come.

Overall I loved this movie. It, to me was pure genius. They are working on a sequel as I type, at this very moment. It will be Jenko am Schmidt off to collage where they can smoke do and f*ck who and whatever they want! Going down in history as my favorite catchphrase "the only thing that's getting blown tonight, is their cover" with that, I have to go but I'll be back
