When cops Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) join the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go under cover as high-school students. They trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, and set out to shut down a dangerous drug ring. But, as time goes on, Schmidt and Jenko discover that high school is nothing like it was just a few years earlier -- and, what's more, they must again confront the teenage terror and anxiety they thought they had left behind.

Critics Consensus

A smart, affectionate satire of '80s nostalgia and teen movie tropes, 21 Jump Street offers rowdy mainstream comedy with a surprisingly satisfying bite.

21 Jump Street | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Tambay Obenson Shadow and Act Not that the original series was high-brow/must-see television, but I figured any remake of it in the 21st century would at least be far more ambitious than this tired bit of recycling. Aug 14, 2017 Full Review 21 Jump Street | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Richard Brody New Yorker The late-eighties TV series is rebooted with jolts of sentiment, personal discovery, and wild comedy. Mar 26, 2012 Full Review 21 Jump Street | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Roger Moore Tribune News Service They know it's a joke. But like high school itself, 21 Jump Street hits the wall about halfway in and even prom night can't save it. Rated: 2/4 Mar 23, 2012 Full Review 21 Jump Street | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Let's face it. Genitalia jokes and people on drugs are funny. Cringing over homophobia and stereotypes is funny. Rated: 3/5 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review 21 Jump Street | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Here’s a movie that’s aware of all its clichés, but somehow, with no limit of energy and humor, uses our awareness of these formulas as its strength. Rated: 3/4 Feb 22, 2023 Full Review 21 Jump Street | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies While some original films make it through the cracks, almost everything these days is a sequel, reboot, or remake...our wallets are what do the talking and we keep rewarding Hollywood for this behavior.

Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Benjamin H Funny, self-referential and aided by an immensely entertaining chemistry between Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, 21 Jump Street is a non-stop, vibrant buddy cop comedy that doesn't try to sway away from what it is, despite some plot elements and characters that are poorly woven in or forgettable. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review kevin c Is fun and entertaining Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Jaykeb G This movie rules.
