For those who do not know this, 21 Jump Street was a popular television show in the 80's staring Johnny Depp(yes,the same) and Holly Robinson(before she added Peete). In this date and age, remakes are the way studios believe that can attract new and original viewers. Here comes 21 Jump Street, the latest movie that tries to capture in on that trend. The good news is that it is not a a remake. The movie works well when it is totally aware of it. It starts with geeky Schmidt(Jonah Hill) uniting in police academy with the jock from his high school Jenko (Channing Tatum). They both get transferred to 21 Jump Street to go undercover as high school students. The movie even has Ice Cube being angry as their captain. This is the good part of the movie, which it stops at the halfway mark. The second half was uninspired and killed every momentum it earned before. There was a big high point towards the latter part of the movie that I thought would redeem it(can't tell you what it is without spoiling something). That idea went out the window real quick. By the end, I didn't care what happened. I definitely will not recommend this movie to anyone.
