Channing Tatum, however, has a reverse handicap: He's improbably handsome and has a (real) name that sounds manufactured by a press agent. Hill lost a lot of weight to appear in this movie, but he's one of those guys who will never be described as thin. He has an endearing appeal in early scenes where he uses close-cropped blond hair in a pathetic attempt to look cool.
#21 jump street cast movie
Jonah Hill, nominated for an Oscar for " Moneyball," has become a movie star by demonstrating that it's not so much how you look as how well you look it. Indeed, one of the pleasures of "21 Jump Street" is that the screenplay by Michael Bacall and Jonah Hill is happy to point out all of its improbabilities the premise is preposterous to begin with, and they run with that. But Schmidt and Jenko look really too old, and the movie isn't shy about pointing that out. It often strikes me that the actors in high school movies look too old. The male member, having gone unmentioned during most of the cinema's first 110 years, now co-stars in many comedies.īut back to the story. I should mention that his name is Dickson - inevitable in a movie papered with dick jokes. The captain in charge ( Ice Cube) is the typical police veteran who can't believe the incompetence of these losers. That makes them both misfits, and they feel a growing camaraderie.Īfter an unpromising start as bicycle-riding cops on park patrol, they're exiled to an undercover unit investigating a dangerous new drug infiltrating a local high school. When we meet them again, they're both in the police academy, where Schmidt aces all the exams and fails everything physical, and Jenko does the opposite. They have no reason to be enemies, because they're from different planets. In a brief prologue, the movie spares us the tiresome routine where the jock makes life miserable for the nerd all he does is snicker with everyone else when poor Schmidt gets tongue-tied.
