In the action-comedy “21 Jump Street,” Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are more than ready to leave their adolescent problems behind.
Joining the police force and the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover in a local high school. As they trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, Schmidt and Jenko risk their lives to investigate a violent and dangerous drug ring. But they find that high school is nothing like they left it just a few years earlier ­and neither expects that they will have to confront the terror and anxiety of being a teenager again and all the issues they thought they had left behind.Adaptation of “21 Jump Street,” the popular ’80s show starring Johnny Depp. In the series, which ran from 1987-1990 on Fox, Depp’s Officer Tom Hanson was assigned to an elite squad of young undercover cops – Judy Hoffs (Holly Robinson Peete), Doug Penhall (Peter DeLuise) and Harry Truman Ioki (Dustin Nguyen) – to infiltrate high schools and fight crime.
