'21 Jump Street'
Plot: Two rookie cops -- the nerdy Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and jockish Jenko (Channing Tatum) -- combine their strengths to graduate from the academy. After bungling their first arrest, they're sent undercover to investigate a high schooler's death from a synthetic drug.
R; 1 hour, 49 minutes
Upside: Tatum holds his own with Hill and every other comic actor in the film. Their interplay and chemistry is terrific.
Downside: They don’t come close to passing for high schoolers, but that's key to the film’s absurdly silly vibe.
