And Hill and Tatum have great chemistry, a main requirement of buddy cop movies. It still propels the film forward and provides a great backdrop for the central theme to unfold: the friendship shared by the two leads. (The troubled kids are actually environmentalists and academically serious.) The drug plot is almost incidental, but not so incidental that it's a wash. The film actually twists some stereotypes on their heads. Its material is modern, its jokes whip-smart, and, as a result, it's a delight (as long as you're "mature" enough to handle the crude stuff, of course).Ģ1 Jump Street's wit comes from the way that it pokes fun at high school and how its sociological makeup - who's popular, who's not, what are kids these days up to? - has changed over the years. Rather than borrowing heavily from its '80s TV predecessor or mining the same, now-tired jokes as some other movies descended from previously known projects, 21 JUMP STREET is solidly in the present, even as it flashes back to the past.
