I'll admit, when I first saw this at the cinema earlier this year I was not expecting great things. I had seen a few episodes of the original series during the more obsessive parts of my Johnny Depp phase, and I was entirely convinced that Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill could gel well together - even in a film where they were supposed to play characters with vastly differing personalities.
I was pleasantly surprised - this is a great comedy. A teen movie that isn't afraid to make jokes at it's own expense. Channing Tatum is a turn up for the books, 2012 really has been the year he's proved, at least to me, that he's a lot more than a pretty face with good rhythm.
There's a brilliant cameo toward the end, that even when you know is coming, it's a little bit wonderful.
One of the better teen comedies of the last few years, watch it if you get the chance.
