I like how when one person comes out with a dissenting opinion, numerous others appear out of the bushes to do the same.

21 Jump Street was great you Rudy Cools.

[fenikz]

I dont think any comedy ever is better than average but if it makes me laugh a little ill give it a thumbs up

The hype people put on it hampered it.

This is why I generally ignore any extreme things people tell me about films. It took me about 5 viewings before I was able to separate Anchorman from all of the hype I had heard about it and just enjoy it, n I still hate Napoleon Dynamite for not being funny because of all of the people that told me it was hilarious.

As for 21 Jump Street, I thought it was really fun, self deprecating and managed to change my opinion of Channing Tatum completely.

21 Jump Street is a lot better than The Hangover, because the main character isn't a despicable bastard (Bradley Cooper).

21 Jump Street was average to me. A good amount of the jokes seem to rely more on gratuitous humor than actually being clever. And that just wasn't funny to me.

"Okay, Captain. Look, the dealers are the popular kids, but they're not normal popular. They're these crunchy granola dudes that have convinced everyone that they're cool. But they're not cool. It's backwards and unnatural and it's gotta be stopped."

That line had me in tears, as did a some other moments in the film, like Channing Tatum's interactions with science.

Both of these statements are factual.

Meh, he's always had that reaction for me. Do like Wet Hot American Summer however.

I watched Point Break yesterday. It was awesome. It might be the third greatest movie of all time, behind only Die Hard and Top Gun.

Also, has anyone else every noticed that The Fast and the Furious is the EXACT same movie as Point Break, just with street racing instead of surfing?

Just watched Red State. That is all.

I really liked 21 Jump Street. I didn't go into it expecting the best movie ever but I laughed at quite a few parts and it had Brie Larson in it. Thumbs up.

They're going to college for the sequel.

I do not understand why girls are obsessed with Channing Tatum. Do not understand.

[Bert Macklin]

Who knows they've been enamored with him for some time.

Jump Street was very basic. From what I'd heard I was expecting to laugh my ass off. I didn't. Saw The Guard around the same time and thought it was a lot funnier.

I used to like that movie a lot. I have noticed the similarities to F&F, I remember thinking that when I saw F&F back in high school. Sad part: they're remaking it. ******* unoriginal hollywood.

[Giantsfan1080]

I thought everyone knew F&F was exactly like Point Break by now.

And yes Bradley Cooper is a scumbag douche. It's no coincidence that he's from Philly.
