Movie Review

‘21 Jump Street’ brings new love to the buddy comedy

Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum star in revival of TV show

By Wesley Morris

***1/2 21 Jump Street We have lots of terminology for what happens when two male stars appear to have the platonic hots for each other. What Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum have in this very funny, unusually perceptive action-comedy scrambles, transcends, and explodes all of that. They play nincompoop narcs undercover at a high school. The movie may not be consciously exploiting the evolution of male buddydom in Hollywood, but it’s redrawn the boundaries. (106 min., R) (Wesley Morris)
