Of course, when they got there, the sweet surprise was that it was the exact opposite with his smarts and relatively progressive views, Schmidt was embraced by the cool clique, while lunkish Jenko was doomed to the fringes. When two adult cops, played by cocky hunk Channing Tatum and less hunky Jonah Hill, were sent undercover to a high school, their, and our, expectation was that Tatum’s character, Jenko, would be the popular one, while Hill’s Schmidt would be forced to relive the loserdom of his real high-school years. But the more successful joke was that we live in a new era, and that once familiar high-school tropes-in this case mean jocks ruling the school while sensitive nerds are tormented or ignored-are different in the age of millennials. The easy joke of the crass but amiable comedy 21 Jump Street was, yes, that it was a movie version of a silly 1980s TV cop drama.
