4/5
A nice little comedy sandwich. It started really funny, by the middle lost some of its pizzazz, by the end was absolutely hysterical. Channing Tatum forces a few jokes once in a while, but it's forgiven when his natural humor really shines. Jonah Hill is a little bit too much Jonah Hill-y at times, but they're forgiven when he's just the right amount of Jonah Hill. The action is as campy and stupid as you want it to be. I love the parody portrayal of modern high school students. There were two problems I had with this movie. The middle was one problem. It lagged, it got a little boring, the jokes weren't as funny, and it became a little preachy in lessons we had already been taught. The other was the kiss. If you go see it, you'll know which one I mean. But overall, it's really saved with its freakin awesome ending, it's natural humor, and its fun chemistry between two actors I would never have thought of together. Add some fun pokes at hollywood, funny costumes, and a great car chase, it's a solid comedy.
