21 Jump Street
When cops Schmidt and Jenko join the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover as high school students. They trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, and set out to shut down a dangerous drug ring. But, as time goes on, Schmidt and Jenko discover that high school is nothing like it was just a few years earlier -- and, what's more, they must again confront the teenage terror and anxiety they thought they had left behind.

The film's biggest sentiment boost comes with the surprise cameo appearance of original Jump Street stars, jumping from conventional action to nostalgic crowd-pleasing moment.
21 Jump Street maintains consistently positive reception throughout most of its runtime, with audiences particularly responding to the chemistry between Hill and Tatum and the film's self-aware humor. The sentiment peaks during nostalgic moments and clever subversions but dips slightly during more conventional plot developments. Overall, critics found it a surprisingly effective comedy that exceeded low expectations.
