![]() Tons of laughs form the Channing Tatum and crew. I mean, how could you not find the premise of following a stud-muffin crew on their final blowout funny. Just the story generates lols, but the cast does a great job of stretching that out for the entire film. |

![]() Queen Latifah knocks one out of the park with Bessie – a story about the legendary blues singer Bessie Smith.
