The film "Macho and Botan" actors

Comedy thriller "Macho and Botanus" has become one of the most popular Hollywood products of the new millennium. Who would have thought that an uncomplicated plot and traditional American humor was again at the peak of popularity, and the new version of the picture became proof of this statement. What is the secret of such megapopularity? Most likely, this is a friendly and humorous atmosphere, which was in the air during the filming, and the actors of the film "Macho and Botan", who 100% coped with their task.

"Macho and Botan": background

It turns out that "21 Jump Street", and this is how the original name of the picture sounds - it's not a new and original product. In the US, this show has already been televised and thanks to the huge popularity of the audience lasted for 5 seasons.

Not surprisingly, one of the creators of the series Stefan J. Kennel came up with the idea to create a feature film, using already loved characters. This idea, he shared with the legendary producer of militants Neil Moritz. So the production of a new film began. Whatever you say, the "youth" note was written by the writer John Hill, who also played a major role in the film. He proposed to expand the boundaries of what is happening in the film and attract teenagers to view. By the way, it was among them that this picture became a "bestseller". The actors "Macho and Botan" should not have been experienced cops, it was the immaturity of the main characters that attracted young people so much.

Producers, screenwriters and film director

The uniqueness of the film is given by the fact that the professionals of their work worked on it sincerely and completely committed to their work. For example, the lead actor Channing Tatum was the executive producer, and John Hill was the screenwriter and produced the picture.

A win-win option was the collaboration of Kennel, Maurice, Hill and Beckoll, the old comedian of the comic thriller.

Directing was entrusted to the masters of this genre Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, they have already managed to work together in such a comedy as "Cloudy, possible precipitation of meatballs."

Plot

The plot is based on a rather beaten theme of two partners who work under cover. Only this time writers, in order to attract a youth audience, selected young graduates of the Police Academy. Their task is to infiltrate the school and expose the criminal group associated with adolescents.

The actors "Macho and Botan" coped with the task set before them. They completely disappeared in this role, looked ridiculous, sometimes ridiculously, but maximally organically. Not surprisingly, the film collected millions of box office.
