'21 Jump Street ': Channing Tatum Jonah Hill Bromance Disarms Criticism: Although supposedly based on a series of 80s TV cult of the same name of the new comedy "21 Jump Street", is also largely based buddy-cop conventions, "Superbad" in the style of high school pranks, and the great tradition of stoner Bromance (see also: "Harold and Kumar" movies, "Pineapple Express"). For all the familiarity of his hot, the movie, which stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as a rookie cop goes undercover bust drug ring in their high schools, is a critique of the charm.

Times film critic Betsy Sharkey writes that "21 Jump Street" was "cute, punch-you-in-arms, because I-as-you-man charm," and that Hill and Tatum Show "fool the greatest pleasure." Two actor - a "heavy rock" Tatum and "soft gentle" Hill - "make some sort of vulnerability in his characters that makes all this chaos, it's all right." Sharkey notes that the film is not only, but also created a couple of friends: Phil Lord and Christopher Miller ("Chance of Meatballs"), who "understand the push and pull and hyper-competitive guy friends who are complicated and stupid."
The New York Times, AO Scott called the film "is an example of a formula-based entertainment can succeed." Although "21 Jump Street" is a "full ordinary boy-comedy of things" and does not violate the model of the new concept, "this whole mess of stupid, impetuous, and, of course, smart enough to work." Scott Hill and Tatum credits to play its traditional role and disadvantages, to provide "a real energy in the film" rather than a mediocre action sequences.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times, said: "21 Jump Street" is not a true adaptation of the series, a "collage of the screwball comedy, action, and« Odd Couple "formula" - and a half tons from ISN 'bad. Ebert welcomes the script, Michael Bacall, who slyly self-referential and "happy to accept all of its improbability." Ebert agrees with Scott that the action scenes of the opening, more interesting for today is "the beginning of Channing Tatum as an actor who can play comedy, he deadpans so well here, he can start watching Cary Grant movies idea for a remake. ".

USA Today film critic Claudia Puig also impressed Tatum. She writes: "This is not surprising that Hill, as agent for awkward Schmidt, generates laughter for so many years. But who would expect to Tatum, the officer Jenko minded, that's so funny? Most often stigmatized as a standard ... Tatum idol Hill has it's own and other comedic actor in the film. "

Ann Hornaday Washington Post, called the film ". Less thriller reminiscent of turn of the fresh outdoors Johnny Depp Go '21 'as a comedy full of good humor and jokes, gags look" Hornaday said: "Despite the nervousness and vulgarity, the production is imbued with incomparable sweetness, perhaps through the film co-directors. " He also admits that "nice" support, which includes Dave Franco, Brie Larson, Rob Riggle and Ellie Kemper.

Among the critics of the film are critical Peter Rainer of The Christian Science Monitor, who says: "The basic premise - that these two should be school-age children, brothers and sisters - It's funny, but jokes, as is the case with many others in this film is too often "and Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail, which calls for" 21 Jump Street "," attempt anything funny mess impulsively, which bears his sarcastic cynicism is too proud. "

On the other hand, even Lacy admits: "Tatum, however, is a pleasant surprise ... it seems to have produced a comedy, a young Brendan Fraser, with a sweetness that contrasts with his hulking physical." This idol seems to have been a very successful return to school.
