"THE FUNNIEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN MORE THAN A YEAR!" --NEW YORK POST

 This adaptation of Johnny Depp’s career-launching ’80s TV show is a meta-comedy — plus it’s a buddy comedy, a physical comedy, an action comedy and a nonstop raunchy verbal riff like Superbad. That ought to be enough comedy for anyone, and this is the funniest movie I’ve seen in more than a year. Jonah Hill, as nerdy rookie cop Schmidt, and Channing Tatum, as Jenko, a dumb fellow patrolman who used to torment him in high school, make a sensational comic pair: meatball meets beefcake. They slip back to high school to pose as brothers and try to break up a drug ring led by James Franco’s little brother Dave. A terrifically smart and fresh script by Michael Bacall keeps balancing absurdity against believable human moments. --New York Post
