The first one was fantastic. Jump Street was a series that originally started Johnny Depp so we can expect many more of these films.
Did Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill ever look like they could pass for being in high school? No but somehow they managed to make a really good film out of not being able to pass for their undercover roles, so why stop there?
Now they go to college and it is certainly a place that you would never expect to find Channing Tatum. The good thing about this film is that they didn't try to pretend that were of college age, instead they just get on with the story and make a decent film out of it. Tatum ended up playing American Football and actually passed for being very good at it. He could have earned a sports scholarship somewhere but he could never really pass for being in a psychology class or the likes because I know from experience that Psychology is intense and requires a lot more brain power than people think.
There were those moments when they gave themselves away within the first few days of college and you wanted to bury your head in your hands but apart from that it was fairly well done. There are some things that you know that they just can't pull off and them going to medical school- 23 Jump Street - is just never going to happen. Some people just aren't able to come across as being intelligent and rather unfortunately for them, only really smart people go to medical school.
It was a good film and not a play for laughs kind of film either so hopefully the next one will be just as good.
