When two adult cops, played by cocky hunk Channing Tatum and less hunky Jonah Hill, were sent undercover to a high school, their, and our, expectation was that Tatum’s character, Jenko, would be the popular one, while Hill’s Schmidt would be forced to relive the loserdom of his real high-school years. But the more successful joke was that we live in a new era, and that once familiar high-school tropes-in this case mean jocks ruling the school while sensitive nerds are tormented or ignored-are different in the age of millennials.
