21 Jump Street
Synopsis:
21 Jump Street is the headquarters for a squad of police officers who specialize in investigations relating to young people. Each of the Jump St. personnel was selected for their ability to pass for high school or college students, allowing them to operate undercover in areas where it is difficult for regular police officers to blend in unnoticed.

IMDb 21 Jump Street (2012) From the first moments of 21 Jump Street, which I saw in a packed New York City theater last night, the whole audience was in stitches, and it wasn’t just because a bleach-blonde Jonah Hill strolled into his high school dressed as the Real Slim Shady.
As it turned out, the biggest laugh earner in the comedic adaptation was Channing Tatum. His genuinely stupid character, proficient in the athletic and fashion worlds but unable to remember all four lines of the Miranda rights or even his own undercover identity, turned out to be a genuinely brilliant guffaw-fetcher. The hesitatingly blank, slightly troubled expression that Tatum constantly wore drew massive uproars.apparently everyone, including EW critic Lisa Schwarzbaum, who wrote, “Tatum can sustain a great, I mean great, Dumb Face,” loves a confused bonehead.
Personally, I wasn’t expecting the star of Step Up, The Vow, and a rather lackluster edition of SNL earlier this year, to posses such self aware comedic ability and natural timing, but his dumb jock persona meshed nicely with his smarter “brother,” played by Hill, and it gave the bawdy buddy comedy just the right bit of soul. Somehow, Tatum made his character’s complete ineptitude utterly charming a formula Rob Schneider has never figured out, despite years of trying.Top Movie List, top movies of all time, most popular movies of all time.
