Genre: Action Comedy
Direction: Phil Lord, Chris Miller
Lead: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum
First of all, that television series from around three decades ago was not something that could be counted as so interesting that it would be remade now in the form of a feature film. So the build-up to this movie was almost lost, but the movie came out with quite a different spin. The movie, instead of concentrating on the crime and mystery elements like the series did, comes out as a mere teen comedy flick. A comedy that's entertaining and enjoyable.
The directors have already played their parts in comedy by writing and producing around the popular sitcom How I Met Your Mother. And by now, they know how to get their audience to burst into laughs, and they implemented it in a cool way. The movie does not have any promising elements about crime or action for that matter. It's not intelligent, it's not deep, it just delivers some fun time with some gags. Not a great one, but a one-time laughter ride with two interesting surprise guest appearances near the end. It's a good comedy flick, that's nothing less expected from a Jonah Hill movie; Channing has done an alright job himself.
