Movie: 21 Jump Street

Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum doesn't seem like a comedy pair that could bring out some laughter, at least that's what I thought. Boy, have I ever been more wrong! I sat in the theater expecting some mild giggle, but got back heavy laughter. Lots of sex jokes, dirty jokes, and some racist jokes are thrown in the dialogues. Although some are pretty common, meaning you might have heard it in your everyday conversations, they were packed in a way that made them feel fresh, like you've never heard it, and the actors delivered. The storyline, about undercover cops trying to reel out drug dealers, is pretty common. We knew that in the end they will be able to bust the major dealer, that although they seemed solid at first, there will be quarrels between them but they'll make up eventually. However, knowing the end result doesn't mean you've watched the movie. Lots of twists can be found in what seem to be an ordinary plot, such as breaking the stereotypes...
