Synopsis:
Schmidt and Jenko are more than ready to leave their adolescent problems behind. Joining the police force and the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover in a local high school. As they trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, Schmidt and Jenko risk their lives to investigate a violent and dangerous drug ring. But they find that high school is nothing like they left it just a few years earlier - and neither expects that they will have to confront the terror and anxiety of being a teenager again and all the issues they thought they had left behind.

Review:
If any of your friends or loved ones saw this movie & told you great things about it... they were correct. It was very funny, had great action sequences & was all around enjoyable to watch. Jonah Hill (fresh off losing 100lbs) is his usual self, kind of annoying, neurotic & annoying at times. Channing Tatum is fine. He's funny & charming. The rest of the cast has some good comedians & characters actors. Has a total babe in Brie Larson as the love interest of Hill.... which is creepy only because she's in grade 12 & she's playing entrapment with a 20+ something guy. Don't get me wrong, it might be every guys secret dream, but in the world of Hollywood I'm surprised radical bullshit moms weren't slightly mad at this. The ending is very funny (albeit ripped off from South Park) but Rob Riggle is fucking hilarious. Surprise appearances by original 21 Jump Street TV show cast members Johnny Depp & Peter DeLuise were honestly the best part of the whole movie. Loved it.
