As far as big, blockbuster type movies go, this summer has a
noticeable lack of notable comedies. “Neighbors” was great, “A Million Ways toDie in the West” was mediocre, and “Tammy” looks terrible—which is too bad,
because Melissa McCarthy is so damn funny. The only other member of this club
is “22 Jump Street,” the sequel to 2012’s surprise hit. While I laughed a
decent amount, and there are some very good moments, the film pales in
comparison to its predecessor, and when taken as a whole, is not a particularly
great movie.
