Fist Fight (2017)

Ice Cube's starting to look a bit out of place playing both the tough and good guy, and Charlie Day's voice is hella annoying sometimes, but overall: it was a blast! A movie full of just plain fun, creatively entertaining in the ways of 21 Jump Street - without mercy, with plenty of shallow and crude humor but good pace, and though it might all begin with a sorry main character it's easy to feel sorry for, that feeling doesn't take over, and you grow with him as his confidence grows, and the one long crazy prank-filled day (which just so happens to also be the last day of school at this particular school) just runs on and on like this sentence until finally: it's time for a fight!

If you liked the Jump you're sure to like this. It's not the same kind of story, but it has a similar vibe, and the scenery feels familiar. Charlie Day, Ice Cube, Tracy Morgan, Jillian Bell, Christina Hendricks and Dean Norris - they're the teachers. This is their story, and there's probably a moral in there somewhere, too. Great watch.
