When cops Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) join the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go under cover as high-school students. They trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, and set out to shut down a dangerous drug ring. But, as time goes on, Schmidt and Jenko discover that high school is nothing like it was just a few years earlier -- and, what's more, they must again confront the teenage terror and anxiety they thought they had left behind.

Critics Consensus

A smart, affectionate satire of '80s nostalgia and teen movie tropes, 21 Jump Street offers rowdy mainstream comedy with a surprisingly satisfying bite.

Tambay Obenson Shadow and Act Not that the original series was high-brow/must-see television, but I figured any remake of it in the 21st century would at least be far more ambitious than this tired bit of recycling. Aug 14, 2017 Full Review Richard Brody New Yorker The late-eighties TV series is rebooted with jolts of sentiment, personal discovery, and wild comedy. Mar 26, 2012 Full Review Roger Moore Tribune News Service They know it's a joke. But like high school itself, 21 Jump Street hits the wall about halfway in and even prom night can't save it. Rated: 2/4 Mar 23, 2012 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Let's face it. Genitalia jokes and people on drugs are funny. Cringing over homophobia and stereotypes is funny. Rated: 3/5 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Here’s a movie that’s aware of all its clichés, but somehow, with no limit of energy and humor, uses our awareness of these formulas as its strength. Rated: 3/4 Feb 22, 2023 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies While some original films make it through the cracks, almost everything these days is a sequel, reboot, or remake...our wallets are what do the talking and we keep rewarding Hollywood for this behavior.

Adam P Hilarious comedy, great acting and commentary, I really wish they'd continue making these. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Alex L Entertaining popcorn movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review MAKA M 21 Jump Street is a hysterical, action-packed thriller that balances comedy and action. From the very first scene, it grabs your attention. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum deliver outstanding performances and their chemistry is off the charts, making countless laugh-out-loud moments. 21 Jump Street is a must-watch, it’s a perfect example of how to reboot a classic. This movie will leave you wanting more Five stars all the way! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Aidan B Gutbustingly hilarious though occasionally a bit too chaotic, "21 Jump Street" is yet another hit from Lord and Miller and one of the better comedy movies made this century. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Augustine J This movie is one of the greatest action comedies of all time. The on-screen chemistry between Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum is some of the best. This movie had me consistently laughing all the way through. This is a true gem of a movie and ya'll need to go see it now. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Andrea C Esilarante e davvero divertente commedia che riesce a trasformare l'idiozia in puro intrattenimento in grado di far ridere una gamma davvero ampia di potenziali spettatori. Channing Tatum e Jonah Hill si prestano perfettamente ad una trama che gioca molto anche sul loro aspetto fisico e sulle loro caratteristiche e vanno a formare una coppia piuttosto classica per le commedie di questo tipo ma perfettamente amalgamata. Di fatto la trama è solamente un supplemento all'insieme di dialoghi e di gag esilaranti che la fanno da padrona per tutta la durata. Menzione di merito anche per la semplicissima ma divertentissima costruzione del personaggio di Ice Cube. Progetto davvero ben eseguito che merita il successo che ha avuto ed il sequel è d'obbligo. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
