All turns out to be pretty well in this film even with all the changes and the absurdity. Most of it played as a joke but the heart is always there. They can't stop playing with their antics on their mission. It shows how the new high school turned their lives upside down. The main point of this film is High School and the relationship between Schmidt and Jenko. The action is fun but I don't think anybody cares about that. Dave Franco's role here kind of reminds me of his role in Fright Night but he's pretty good with it. While the others, Ice Cube hams it up a little but he can provide some laughs. His chemistry with Hill shines to the film. Channing Tatum finally plays a none bland character. Jonah Hill is always a brilliant comedian. These jokes are greatly executed by the stars. Surprisingly, it works better to the plot. The original premise remains but with some buddy comedy elements, and raunchy and slapstick humor. The film is just crazy stuff with crazy characters living in an absurd setting. Both are pretty interesting but this one is definitely aiming as a comedy. I'm not saying it's better than the TV series though. It's a new kind of 21 Jump Street that is much more fun. It stays loyal to its roots except it added some raunchiness and slapstick humor to the story. At first glance, this movie looks like it's just another mediocre raucous comedy, but it turns out to be a clever one. The TV series of 21 Jump Street is always remembered as one of Johnny Depp's early performances.
