Never have I seen two franchises team-up to create one super sized franchise hybrid baby, but here we are. The director of the last “Muppets” movie teams up with Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill to bring us “21 Jump Street” meets “Men In Black.” Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones won’t be reprising their roles, but just the idea of Hill and Tatum’s sublimely stupid cops taking on aliens sounds like an inspired and delightful idea. What say you??
