Movie Reviews of Taxi (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: I Taxi U
Summary: 5 Stars
Latifah and Fallon have great chemistry together.
So good, in fact, you begin to wonder if they are
not each chasing after, or being chased by, the
wrong person.
He has a girlfriend, or rather a "it is just a matter of
time before she is my girlfriend" and she has a fiance,
or a "I want you to stay being my girlfriend", who has
just financed the purchase of a diamond ring, and that is
way before the wedding ceremony is under way. That
financing, will have to wait. (Fiance, is one 'N' away
from finance.) First, she has to say yes, but in order to
say yes, she has to show up. She is dodging her boy,
and he is chasing his girl: They are distracted.
She drives. She likes to drive, stay in motion. He
hates motion. But if he doesn't learn to drive, how
will he chase? He sits with her, taking notes, writing.
She knows a lot about cars, and he doesn't. But he is
persistent, while those around him want quick results.
Does a cab driver EXPECT to be paid, or does she
HOPE to get paid? Is taxi a noun, or a verb? I taxi U.
The movie is a study in contrast. But of what?
Masculine. Feminine. Dynamic versus Static:
Flowers versus Bees. His name is Washburn:
As in, wash and burn. Water and Fire. Truth and
Love. Blood and Spirit. Red and Blue.
And then there are these super-model bank robbers
who seem as if they would be the last people upon
the earth to worry about staying or going, able to
chase down and capture, or run away, for they
live in the fast lane, and they pose. They can handle
both the Static and the Dynamic...Perhaps, by the
end of the movie, you will find yourselves rooting for
the supermodel bankrobbers instead, while wondering,
Why did they feel they needed to rob banks or drive cars
and fire guns, looking the way they do? For they could
"hire" a private army, have chauffers do their driving, and
get paid, for just being themselves. Why do all that
work when they don't have to? Maybe because they
wanted to break down stereotypes about what
supermodels can and cannot do. Or maybe because
a chauffer expects something in return, and they just
got tired of that. They wanted to feel taxied for a change.
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!Similar DVD Movies
