 “21 Jump Street Review”

            An average street called jump street is where we meet a pair of oddly accomplished cops, who are on their way back to a local high school after being transferred, playing the role of students to take down a synthetic drug ring. These two very different previous classmates find themselves teaming up their abilities to keep each other on top during some struggles after reuniting within a police academy.
            Schmid (Jonah Hill), was nerdy and considered a loser throughout high school back in the day, who would be the one taking all the advanced and pre-college courses. Jenko (Channing Tatum), was the highly athletic sports guy who spent his time bullying Schmid and making the “nerds” do his work.  After high school these two are mashed up together in a police academy, both struggling in different areas of the training, realizing that if they put their heads together to help each other get through they would both pass.
            Newly acquainted friends, they are put together on a task to where they are under cover and attempting to infiltrate the local drug ring coming out of the high school. Back to school with different identities, high school life begins to change for the two brothers. Schmid and Jenko begin seeing how life was growing up with the shoes switched, and it is quite interesting how this is done.
            Seeing the two progress in their new lifestyles and actually enjoying it, really gave the movie a positive and enlightening attitude. Throughout the whole movie, the same thought lingered as if the new roles of these newly graduated officers would be the fall of them making the right decision to bring down the drug supplier, or would change their lives for good? As any great movie, it worked out for the best. Overall, it was a great movie with a solid and intriguing storyline, I would recommend this forward to anyone with the time.
