21 Jump Street (2012 Phil Lord, Christopher Miller)

Michael Bacall's screenplay is a hardly subtle yet knowing subversion of eighties genre pics with a particularly foul-mouthed black detective stereotype played by Ice Cube, though it becomes rather silly (if that isn't in itself a contradiction) in story of high school dealers of HFS (shown in amusing stages of effects). Watch this Oscar-nominated, Scorsese-acting Jonah Hill fellow. With Brie Larson, David Franco.

Favourite moment though is Channing Tatum diving through a gong.
