'22 Jump Street'

This past weekend, we erroneously helped '22 Jump Street' secure second place in the weekend box office standings.  It is definitely not that good.  I'd give it about 40% -- based on the first half being really dull and second half being quite hilarious.  When the two undercover cops -- Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum -- get to Spring Break in Florida, the movie really takes off on some funny chase scenes.  But getting there is pretty boring.  Misunderstandings about their sexuality, 'couples' therapy, coed dorms, prying roommates, and other cliches land in an unfunny, unsubtle, uninteresting mess.  Maybe you can go to another movie at the multiplex and then sneak in for the last half -- you'd definitely get a better impression and not miss much of significance.
