21 Jump Street

<i>21 Jump Street</i>

I’ll admit it. I groaned inwardly when I first heard they were making a 21 Jump Street movie. There was even some communal, commiserative groaning in a conversation or two with movie-going friends. A movie based on a Fox television series remembered mainly for helping launch the career of Johnny Depp and briefly reminding the world that Dom DeLuise had a son—does it get any less exciting than that?...  read more
