Movie Reviews of Taxi (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Total Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't think of one thing good about this movie except that it has a couple of hot girls in it. Jimmy Falon was mildly amusing when he would crack up like an idiot on SNL during his skits but he should never be in another movie. He is horrible. Queen Latifah was not funny at all in this and Luc Besson must have needed a pay check. I am a big fan of Besson and he really put out a steamy pile of garbage with this one. Probably his worst movie ever.
Summary of Taxi (Widescreen Edition)
Sassy hip-hop star Queen Latifah brings hilarious attitude to this hard-driving, high-octane comedy action blast! Latifah plays Belle, New York's fastest cabbie, whose taxi-driving expertise - not to mention her loaded-to-the-max vehicle - comes in handy when a fumbling young undercover cop (Jimmy Fallon) must crack a bank robbery plot hatched by a gang of supermodels! Don't miss this tire-squealing, stop-on-a-dime comedy with a topflight cast of stars, including NYPD Blue's Henry Simmons, Ann-Margaret and supermodel Gisele Bundchen!Bumbling cop Washburn (Jimmy Fallon) is a terrible driver who loses his license and so recruits reluctant Belle (Queen Latifah) and her souped-up mega-cab after he stumbles onto a team of supermodel bank robbers. Several klutzy encounters and high-speed car chases ensue. If this sounds to you like the obvious result of a Hollywood pitch session ("Hey, let's pair some guy from Saturday Night Live with a tough-talking African-American and set them after babes on wheels!"), you're right; it doesn't mean, however, that you won't get in a few decent laughs before director Tim (Barbershop) Story's amiable time-killer falls into a steaming pile of would-be blockbuster buddy film cliches. The ever-ingratiating Latifah has long since proved her star charisma, and Fallon does an amusingly offhand parody of failed machismo. They're clearly having a good time together, and you could do worse than their company. There isn't a frame here that isn't cheaply recycled from some other lame action comedy, but if you grit your teeth for the very bumpy ride, you'll come out without too many scratches.--Steve Wiecking
