In this raucous comedy spoof inspired by the 1980s TV series, podgy nerd Jonah Hill (who co-wrote the film) and dumb jock Channing Tatum play bungling cops working undercover in a school to expose a drugs ring. The plot’s uneven but, as their boss, Ice Cube is a hoot and the movie delivers plenty of hilarious jokes and action. Dirs: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller 2012, 15, 135min
