I bought the blu ray yesterday, I forgot how much I liked 21 Jump Street. Tatum and Hill are awesomely funny!!!! An added bonus Johnny Depp is in it.

It’s not really nothing, it’s just one thing, tone. Premise,character names, setting, story all have familiar connections. It’s not at all like the original show in terms of being a drama, correct; but it’s upfront about that, it doesn’t try to hide it, and even acknowledges (literally in dialogue) that ideas are running thin and this is what they came up with. Fortunately, the film is really funny, self-aware, and quite smart in how it plays out.

Aaron, correct, but there are the few that do the original show zero justice. This movie is not 21 Jump Street. You can call it anything because it has nothing to do with the show it unfortunately shares a title with.

The movie rocks and made me like The Tatum more as a human being.

Miami Vice matched the serious/familiar tone of its TV counterpart, as did the X-Files movies, Twin Peaks, Mission: Impossible, The Fugitive, The Untouchables, Star Trek movies, and of course Beavis and Butthead Do America.

@Gregg. Hence why I said this is a rare case where they did justice to a tv adaptation but in a better direction also how can you go wrong with a main character named Greg Jenko? Sound familiar?

I have a hard time donating time to watch this only because Hollywood has made a habit in taking serious TV shows and making them into silly films. Case in point; Starsky & Hutch. Never saw it. Won’t watch it. Let’s make a Knight Rider movie starring Jim Carey.
