Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum play underachieving cops in '21 Jump St'
The hilarious new comedy ‘21 Jump Street’ sees Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum team up as a
mismatched nerd/jock duo who go undercover in a high school to take down a drug syndicate
that's been flooding a school with drugs.
Obviously, it wasn't a new idea as the movie was based on an old TV series of the same name that
launched Johnny Depp's career (Also read: 9 best Johnny Depp characters). However, the new
film is a much more comedic take. Let's see how they stack up.
