Caught a sneak preview of this tonight. Went in thinking it would be your average remake comedy of an old TV show, a la Starsky And Hutch. Surprisingly, it was FREAKIN' HILARIOUS! I seriously don't think I stopped laughing for more than a minute for the length of the movie, and I don't remember a recent comedy in the theater that had the whole audience laughing so hard you almost missed the next line of the flick like this one. Some great callbacks to the original series, probably the dirtiest (and funniest) work Ice Cube has done since he started doing safe kids' films, and Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are perfect together!

I would say this is the funniest movie I've seen since A Good Old Fashioned Orgy or Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil. Definitely worth checking out next week if you're looking for a good shut-off-your-brain-and-laugh comedy. I'll be buying the Blu-ray of this day one, if that tells you how much I dug it.

    For some reason, I was offered to see a free screening of 21 Jump Street three separate times. That's never happened before. They must be desperate to create some buzz about the film.

    The word of mouth on this movie has been absolutely insane. So many people went into it with little to no expectations and are coming out with glowing reviews.

    Currently 87% on Rotten Tomatoes...
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    They gave us two passes on the way out of the screening I went to, and the two people I gave them to loved it as much as I did. It deserves some buzz.

    Just got done seeing it..........the buzz was correct! Flipping hilarious! Who would of thought that Channing Tatum could actually act and be funny. What a great comedic duo they made.
