Former high school foes turned rookie cop partners can't catch a break - until they're assigned to pose as students and bust a drug ring inside their old alma mater. Living like teenagers again, they slip back into their adolescent selves and risk the case - and their friendship - with hysterically disastrous results! Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube star in this outrageously hilarious action-comedy. (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

Some really good jokes, but at the same time a lot of unfunny vulgarity and especially the much-loved awkwardness, which I simply don't understand. Rather than: "What idiots, I have to laugh at them!", I usually say to myself: "What idiots, and am I really supposed to laugh at that?" The film wants to be a cross between Hot Fuzz and (the film) Starsky and Hutch. Unfortunately, without likable main characters and with the aforementioned negatives, it couldn't succeed in my eyes. Three and a half stars.

A superb comedy with slightly nostalgic reminiscences on the series. An excellent cast, Tatum (a dumb heap of muscle) and Hill (fat nerd) found themselves in their respective roles. Being thrown into unknown environment, politically incorrect jokes and explosions all work great. Sometimes it’s all a little over the top, but 21 has lots of outstanding moments. Bring on no. 2. The anticipated cameo is genius.

Do you remember that series from the 80s where Johnny Depp started and which actually made him famous? That series about a group of policemen who go back to school, pretend to be students and solve cases? The series "Jump Street 21" also aired on our TVs and I think it left a mark on many people. It's a classic and sometimes classics need to be revived. Jonah Hill joined as a screenwriter and he and Channing Tatum played the lead roles and also decided to produce the film. This seemingly mismatched duo turned out to be a great move. Yes, a film was made based on the original series, with new characters - mostly - and a new story. The foundation doesn't differ much. The duo of police officers goes to high school because they have to solve a crime. There are definitely differences compared to the series. The film is grittier, more profane, and I think it's also more entertaining. I laughed out loud several times, and I would say that's good proof. Some scenes are really unbelievable, only occasionally and very rarely slipping into silly humor. The bar is set quite high and the production companies should be kicked for giving up on releasing "21 Jump Street" in our cinemas, even though the premiere was originally planned. It's a pity, this comedy deserves it, not only because of nostalgia. This duo of police officers will suit you, you will laugh or at least smile, and even though you might not remember the film in a while, it will be a pleasant experience for that moment.

After the initial intense feeling of dismay and cringe, the second half brought a satisfactory, four-star worthy experience. If I ever watch it again (which I doubt, it’s more like a snack), maybe the experience will be more fully positive, but until then, I can’t give it more than three stars. In any case, there are tonnes of one-liners, likeable protagonists, and it’s fine overall.

21 Jump Street felt to me like a mix of Bad Boys sand Never Been Kissed, with a good dose of bromance - even though it is actually a film remake of a TV series from the 1980s. The film does slip into cheap humour at times and it was clear how it would end, but I still had a good time watching it and laughed my heart out. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum portrayed the two seemingly different guys – in character and appearance – quite solidly and provided many a funny scene. Alongside the humour, the film offers decent action that keeps the viewer entertained, and a couple of unexpectedly gory scenes that in turn surprise.
