6 Reasons Why '21 Jump Street' Is the First Must-See Comedy of the Year

21 Jump Street
Columbia Pictures

In Hollywood, the early months of the year are typically reserved for a few very specific varieties of films: awards-season darlings expanding their distribution, genre films looking to conquer the box office via counterprogramming, and comedies the studios hope will earn a quick buck before dying a quiet death.

But on March 16, Sony Pictures is releasing "21 Jump Street," Chris Miller and Phil Lord's big-screen update of the 1980s television series of the same name. And while in most cases a movie like this would probably fall into that third category, Lord and Miller have created an almost instant classic -- a comedy that manages to pay homage to its source material while standing alone as a terrific buddy cop movie.

"21 Jump Street" was once Johnny Depp's hallowed hunting ground, but that will all change in 2012 when a new breed of baby-faced cops will infiltrate high schools to fight crime among teens.

Now it's headed for the big screen, and the latest addition is fresh-faced Ellie Kemper from "Bridesmaids." Kemper will play a science teacher who has some real chemistry with an undercover cop played by ab-tacular Channing Tatum. Kemper played an innocent new wife in "Bridesmaids," but things are about to get a little steamier for the up-and-coming actress, especially with Tatum as a love interest. Get More »
