Hypable Movie Review: ’21 Jump Street’ a brisk and hilarious buddy comedy

Let me quantify this review by saying I’ve never seen the original 1980’s show “21 Jump Street,” yet somehow I doubt this will be an issue for anyone who watches the big screen version of the classic show that sees police officers go undercover into high school. The film version is self-aware throughout that it is spinoff of sorts, as writer Michael Bacall has infused his own talents in a unique style to make 21 Jump Street a surprisingly fresh, funny film with a dynamic and hilarious lead duo in Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum.
