This movie was putrid. I'm not sure it could be any more unfunny. The fact that it was even supposed to be funny baffles me. If I could have given it less than 1 star on Netflix, I would have.

Just bad, so very bad.

I was a teenager during the days that 21 JS was a t.v. series, and I always believed this show was important because it covered a lot of issues that teenagers had to face and that their parents refused to address; violence, death, rape, preganancy, narcotics, broken families, or D: ALL OF THE ABOVE. The fact that 21 JS was then converted into a completely unfunny movie with two leads who have the same amount of charisma and chemistry as two pet rocks just insults the great thing that 21 JS was back-in-the-day. I will say of this retro-resurrection the same thing that I decree for all others: if it came from the 80's, and possibly the 90's, it's better just to leave it there...

And that's all I have to say about that.

Nailed it! Though the new film was sorta funny... I would have liked it more if it had not been called 21 Jump Street.

Is this change in brand a metaphor for how the youth of today views serious problems? Anybody see Juno? We have comedies about teenage pregnancy... We sure didn't have that 20 years ago.

Though it will be awful and an insult to my childhood, it will be great too.

Looks good to me. Wondered about the whole 22 Jumpstreet thing as 21 Jump Street was an address.

22 Jump Street was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Way way better than the first.
