    Storyline

    Edit
    In 2005, Schmidt and Jenko are high school students, one an honor roll geek, the other a cool, athletic underachiever. By 2012, they are rookie cops, paired together, on bike patrol yearning to make arrests. After a screw up, they're sent undercover back to high school to find the source of a dangerous synthetic drug. They mix up their names, and Schmidt gets the no-brainer classes where he auditions for Peter Pan and falls in love with Wendy; Jenko gets AP classes where he falls in with high-achieving dweebs. This second chance at high school gives Schmidt delusions of grandeur, which threaten the operation. Can they sort out their relationship as they stumble onto the bad guys? —<jhailey@hotmail.com>

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Channing Tatum passed on the movie twice before Jonah Hill convinced him to take the role.
    • Goofs
      The officers' mistake at the beginning is not accurate. A police officer is never required to read a suspect their Miranda rights. Miranda rights only become relevant when a person is in custody and being interrogated by the police. Then even if you are not read your Miranda rights, the only consequence is that the police cannot use anything you say as evidence against you.

      Jenko: You have the right to...

      [forgets the Miranda rights]

      Jenko: ... suck my dick, motherfucker!

    yeah, I was just like you
    I too expected this to stink. Another buddy cop movie, starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, based on a lousy 80's television show - doesn't sound all that appealing.

    Hill's "The Sitter", completely mediocre, and it's been quite a while since Superbads success.

    Channing Tatum showed his comedic timing during his appearance on SNL. I was still hesitant.

    But, I stand corrected.

    This is the funniest movie since last years' Bridesmaids.

    The key here is the fantastic script. The story isn't rocket-science, and we knew it wouldn't be, but the comedic timing of the leads is spot-on, and they were given a great script to work with.

    I found myself laughing multiple times throughout. My spouse concurred. One late, unnecessary gross-out moment brought it down a notch. The film hadn't used any of those gimmicks and didn't need to in the end. It just seemed a bit out of place and distasteful.

    The leads did a great job here. Their characters worked exactly how they should in a buddy-cop flick like this. They bounced off each other for an hour and a half, and the result will surely be one of the best comedies of the year, and an outside shot for my 2012 top-25(back-end)if it can hold-on.

    Watch out for a sneaky cameo(spoiled by the cast list if you look).

    Nice surprise.

    Deserves it's ranking here.

    Stuck between 7-8, but going with 76/100, so I'm rounding to 8.

    You'll enjoy this if you liked:The Other Guys, Starsky and Hutch, If Looks Could Kill, or Blue Streak - even though I think this is actually a clear notch above all of those films.
