21 Jump Street

Oh dear. This movie was hilarious. It was everything I was hoping for, and made me smile from ear to ear. I'm obsessed with Jonah Hill and it totally solidified my obsession. I think it was also funnier because I was in a theatre full of British people watching a movie about American High School, and I could only hope that they were convinced that's how all of high school is in America.

The story really was funny, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are brand new cops that have to go undercover as high school students and attempt to infiltrate a drug ring. It was a good mix of laugh out loud slapstick stuff, some emotion, some making fun of the fact Jonah Hill is small, and some dramatic sequences. I really did like it, and I think there will be great quotables. If you liked the hangover, and superbad, and wedding crashers then you will like this movie. Definitely recommend it, one lonely set of thumbs way up!
Oh! And Rob Riggle is an important character, which makes it even better!!

Carnage

There isn't much to say about this film, except that I still don't quite understand it. It was the first movie I've seen in London, and I'm quickly learning that British critics don't share the same sense of humor I do.

Carnage is based off a play of the same name, and apparently the play is hilarious. I think this movie would have been funnier to me if I was married and had kids. It has an all star cast; Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, Christoph Waltz, and Kate Winslet. The acting was incredible, and I really did enjoy the story but I just didn't get the uproarious laughter I thought I would. Its quite short, only a little over an hour, but it was good. Just not hilarious. Rent it, if you feel like it. Meh.
