Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Sarita Rafferty
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Delight
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Brooklynn
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

21 Jump Street is a police procedural crime drama television series that focuses on a squad of youthful-looking undercover police officers investigating crimes in high schools, colleges, and other teenage venues that was created to attract a younger audience.It stars Johnny Depp,Holly Robinson,Peter DeLuise,Dustin Nguyen and Richard Grieco.The show ran from 1987 to 1991. The landmark television series which catapulted the success of the FOX TV network and the career of movie star,Johnny Depp.The TV series focuses on a group of police officers headquartered at the titular address. Officer Tom Hanson (Depp) leads his band of agents in the special Jump Street division by going undercover to infiltrate local schools to put a stop to crime and keep students safe from corrupt influences. The 21 Jump Street team is a mixed group including the wise cracking Officer HT Ioki (Nguyen), the brilliant Officer Judy Hoffs (Robinson), the streetwise Officer Doug Penhall (DeLuise) and, in latter episodes, the renegade Officer Dennis Booker (Grieco).These officers are all young and have especially youthful appearances, which allows them to pass for teenagers. Their assignments generally consist of undercover work in high schools or, less commonly, colleges, where they generally investigate drug trafficking and abuse. The plot lines cover issues such as alcoholism, hate crimes, drug abuse, homophobia, AIDS, child abuse, and sexual promiscuity. Similarly, each problem is often solved by the end of the hour-long episode, giving an implicit moral about the impact of a particular activity. This is definitely one of the best cop shows TV series back in the 1980's.Although it faltered in the last season after Johnny Depp left the series,I could still say that it really presented something refreshing and original back then.Aside from Depp,other stars of the show were also great like Dustin Nguyen,Richard Grieco and Holly Robinson.They all were able to portray interesting characters.And the themes it presented offered is evidently helpful to its target audience - the youth.Overall,it was one show that will definitely be missed and that defined the 1980's.

I remember this TV show when i saw it first with my sister in the early 90s and then really got into it when I watched it with a friend on DVD. Personally I think that the first and second season is the best. You can kind of feel that beyond that the episodes aren't so good anymore. I love to see this show cause its so 80s! The style is great, colorfully even when some bad thinks are happening. Compared to new Teen TV shows (the German ones I know), its got a serious act but packet in a easy going show. I like the fact that in every show there is a new band adding the music. When you watch the episodes one after the other you notice that the same actors keep coming up playing a different role. I don't mean the main actors, but such as the kids in school.

i bought myself season 1,2,3 for Xmas last year and i have finally sat and watched some episode's and i can get enough of them i half way though season 2 and yeah i loving it i really don't know why they don't show repeats of this show. i think they should for-sure as kids would love it i watched it was i was a young teen myself and loved the show. there are no shows like that now for the kids the same age as i was when i watched this there is nothing. i think i was pretty lucky i had shows on i really liked, like beverly hill 90210 and different strokes the facts of life loved them all as i said nothing the same now how sad for them.

Up until the end of season 4 the show was brilliant!!! But after awhile everyone started leaving I mean thanks for going guys! the only people that managed to stay was either the most boring or the most new and boring. But apart from that the first four seasons where great, and many faces if you think about it.Unfourtunatly hardly anybody remembered the show but I still love it! I Gave it 8 out of 10 it would of had been a 10 but the last season what messed up so its going to be an eight! Other than that I thought that sometimes they dragged things on a little, But as soon as something was settled boom something Else started. If you are looking for a good 80's cop gang show then this is it.
