Jonah Hill obviously lost a lot of weight when he was doing 21 Jump Street. When I saw him in Moneyball earlier this year, he was still really big - especially when he had to don those suits. This time around though, you could see his weight loss in his face, although in some scenes he looks big, while slimmer in some other scenes. He does look hilarious in that scene when he goes to school looking like Eminem! Jonah Hill as the blonde boy with braces! Look suits him well!!
Actually, it's fine that the movie version of 21 Jump Street has no resemblance whatsoever to the iconic TV series that launched the career of the then unknown actor, Johnny Depp. Putting a comedy spin into the mix and enlisting Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as the two detectives reenergizes the franchise for today's young generation. I really enjoyed watching the movie - although the plot is simple and not complicated. This is targeted to the young male audience anyway, and it doesn't have to be Goodfellas. However, like any action movie, it does have many chase scenes and bad guys doing bad things and the victims here are high school students. I strongly suggest that you watch this movie especially after you had a not-so-good day in the office. Both guys are hilarious here and it's light fare that you will certainly enjoy.
