Director: Phil Lord and Chris Miller
Actors: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube
This cinema experience should not work but it does. It is so funny and so out of line that it is a joy to watch.
The story is about two not very cleaver police officers that get sent to be undercover in a high school to unravel a drug gang. High school have changed and the looser becomes the cool kid on the block. Of course in the end they manage to solve the problem and squash the drug dealers once and for all.
The film is not deep nor any pretence that it has any intention to do so. However it works due to a high level of very funny side. It is slap stick, it is pre puberty, and it is silly. It works on so many levels.
Sheer joy and fun and on a deep level how it would be to be able to re-live those important high school years. The Channing character pour out his wisdom saying that the less interest you show the more popular you get proves wrong. When he finally embrase learning and the chemistry class he is in it actually pays off in the end.
The telling off they both get as the parents return home finding the home turned into a party scene is priceless. I am glad my parents never did the same.
It is not by any means Shakespeare but for some truly funny bits that will make you laugh out loud this is brilliant.
Rating: 3 out of 5
