22 Jump Street- Reviewing the Funniest Movie I’ve Seen This Year
If it ain’t broke… 22 Jump Street is a movie that has no business being as ridiculously funny as it is. With a story that is an almost exact repeat of 2012’s 21 Jump Street, and the fact that it doesn’t even try to hide that it’s not bringing anything new to the table (other […]
