Customer Ratings & Reviews

I remember watching 21 Jump Street as a youngster in the 1980's. I loved it when it was on network television. The premise: a bunch of young looking 20 something detectives pose as high school students as they attempt to curb the criminal activity that is perpetrated by high school students. This show became a career launching pad for many of the principle characters, including the venerable and legendary Johnny Depp. However, the show has become pretty dated, and I doubt that I could watch it with the same enthusiasm now that I'm in my thirties. And when I heard that they were remaking this television show for the big screen, I nearly gagged. But after seeing the movie remake with Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, I have to say that I am so happy that I went against my instincts and saw this film. It is the funniest movie that I have seen in a long time. I actually laughed out loud while watching this movie, and it has been a long time since I have laughed out loud during any film. The plot of the movie is not difficult to follow. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are enemies in high school; with Channing Tatum being the popular high school jock(Jenko), while Jonah Hill is the socially awkward and geeky Eminem look-a-like(Schmidt). A few years after they graduate from high school, they enroll in the police academy. While at the academy, they discover that Schmidt is able to master the academic part of the training and Jenko is able to master the physical aspect of the police training. Jenko and Schmidt soon realize that if they are to make it past their respective exams, they are going to have to help one another. Their decision to cooperate with each other leads to a special friendship, and after graduating from the academy they are able to secure assignments in the same police unit. Jenko and Schmidt prove to be inept as police officers in the bike unit, but they are given a second chance as undercover police officers. Their mission: infiltrate a drug operation in a high school that is run by a smarmy high school senior played by David Franco(James Franco's brother). Here the roles of Jenk and Schmidt are reversed. It is Jenko who is the social outcast while Schmidt is the cool insider. Turns out that in the year 2012 it is okay to be openly gay, carry your backpack using both straps, openly campaign for the preservation of the environment, and do well in school-which are all of the traits that Jenko used to hate about Schmidt. While they are trying to infiltrate the drug operation, Schmidt's popularity causes a rift in their friendship; and as their relationship collapses, so does their work as undercover officers. Eventually their antagonistic supervisor(played by Ice Cube!!!) has to fire them, and all hope seems to be lost for the two former friends. It does not take long for Jenko and Schmidt to become friends again; and with their friendship repaired they are able to prove their worth as officers through their special form of vigilantism. As I've said before, Channing Tatum is really funny in this film. Jonah Hill and Ice Cube also deliver some really good liners as well. Although a remake, the film is original in its execution of the conventional screenplay. I highly recommend this film. And I have to say that if you choose to see this movie, you will be greeted with a really nice surprise near the end.

Really great comedy movie an all time classic for the ages

This is a new take on an old favorite! Not much could beat Johnny Depp in the original series but these guys take the cake!

21 Jump Street is a film I could watch any time, and thanks to the DVD I can do just that. Unfortunately, the disc is sparse on extras.

A great sequel to the first movie.very funny. They are a great team . Wish they would make another.

Got this for my wife, because she has loved this movie since it came out and we didnt have a copy of it.

Got this so when I drive Uber, ppl can have something to watch, and they love this movie!!

If you’re looking for a fun non stop action comedy this is it!

I've never been a fan of Channing Tatum for an assorted number of reasons. My principle reason for my disliking Channing Tatum is his lack of acting talent. His deficiencies as an actor were made apparent in every genre of film. Ever since he broke onto the scene with "Step Up",he has delivered his signature one-note performance in every movie in which he has been cast. And it seemed as if he would never get any better. I was ready to give up on him until I read the reviews for "21 Jump Street". Not only was the movie supposed to be well done, but Mr. One Note Channing Tatum was supposed to have turned in one of his best performances as well. Out of a morbid sense of curiosity, I had to see the movie for myself; and after nearly two hours of continuous guffawing, I left the theatre with a new sense of hope. Channing Tatum may have found his niche as a movie actor: he can be a funny man. Channing Tatum is......funny.

Such a cast with excellent picture quality!!!!!!!!

Super funny and awesome to watch Jonah and Channing

21 Jump Street... It's going to deliver what you are guaranteed and have you laughing out loud! Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are undercover pals are going to high school and pretty much it becomes an enjoyable, hilarious and unforgettable ride. The film does a give a great tribute to the ever classic "Buddy Cop" genre and does a great job of making fun of itself: Openly poking fun at its cast or plot and giving those subtle jokes to other films of the genre. Just a great film to a lot of laughs and fun out of, plus you get it for a great price and even get a digital copy, so you watch anywhere at anytime.

We saw this movie in a theater when it was originally released, and I knew at the end of it that I had to own it. Although the sequel is already out (and was nowhere as near as good), I wanted to wait to get this on sale, so I waited till Christmas to buy it for myself. If you haven't seen this but love comedies, I highly recommend it. I love that it comes with a digital copy so I can download it to my tablet also.

Is it the best acting ever? No Is it filled with crime drama? No Do you want a fail safe, make you laugh when you need something mindless and entertaining? This movie is it. Takes an old show and puts a spin on it with pop culture icons. Yes its silly, yes its fluffy, but its FUNNY, fast paced, and entertaining. Well worth the money to have in your rotation of(rough day at work) movies to watch

This movie is hilarious. I don’t remember a time when I’ve laughed this hard at a mainstream comedy movie. Unless Shaun of the dead is mainstream. I mean i don’t think it’s mainstream to be exact but it’s not underrated. Okay I guess mainstream by the general audience

This movie is the funniest movie i have seen in a while. It really relates the characters to the high school days. It has great humor and some action. I don't understand why people dislike the movie. It's different than the 80's show, but it's a new spin that makes it very interesting. You must buy this movie! It is hilarious and has a great storyline

I thought the trailers for 21 Jump Street made it look terrible, but friends and family told me that I had to see it. I was surprised to find that the movie is hilarious. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are adorable together, and the writing is over the top and witty. Directors Lord and Miller bring the same creativity to a live action feature that they brought to Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. I promise that you will laugh the whole way through!

Not a film that cries out for a 4k upgrade but it's still a nice transfer. It had been awhile since I had seen this and was immediately reminded about how hilarious the film was Jonah and Channing but the stellar supporting cast as well. Also, the movie isn't that old but the tech is surprisingly dated at times.

I was not expecting anything from this movie. I knew Jonah hill was funny but Tatum? I figured this would have a few funny parts but overall be dumb. Truthfully, overall this movie is dumb but I laughed the whole time. Anytime this movie is on I watch it. So I ended up buying it. Tatum is even funnier than hill in this. Very funny movie. Some real classic lines

This is a fantastic comedy takes constant jabs at itself, and the whole genre without overtly breaking the 4th wall. You will see Channing Tatum in a whole new light after this movie. That man is hilarious. Contains drug use, foul language, and innuendos though, so if those things put you off, then obviously you will not like this movie at all.
