Sometimes there is a movie. It is bad. It is great. It has great lines. It has horrifying make me want to go clean my ears out Shakespeare lines. It has bad acting. It has great acting. Such is the duality of 21 Jump Street The Movie. 21 was just tongue and cheek enough to get away with claiming from the get go as eloquently stated by Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec: "The department is re-initiating a defunct program from the 80's, meaning they are all out of ideas." Straight. To the point. Well played. They cap the whole thing off with the greatest cameo I have witnessed in 5 years (I won't spoil it by telling who). Above and beyond any serious critiques of the film, I compliment the actors on being able to deliver their lines with punch and "up the funny" and to the writers and directors for exemplary use of explosions. Oh and doves.
Ratings:
Slim Shady: There's just so many of you
High School fashion trend watchers: See it
Plot lovers: Skip it
ICE-CUBE lovers: See it
Physical comedians: See it
On a scale from Piranhas 3D to Piranhas 5D, I give 21 Jump Street 3.0000000000007 out of 5 stars.
