Movie Reviews of The Tuxedo (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: A 2 BILLION DOLLAR TUX
Summary: 4 Stars
For me this DVD is good but nothing compared to Rush Hour 2.The tux is full of accion but needs more comedy. One downside of the movie is that Del Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is way to serious. What my friends and I think is that it needs a big mouth someone like Chris Tucker to lighten up things.The borring part is that most of the movie is at Detrich's house.The person in charge of writing the comical parts and lines was obviously asleep. So if you are looking for accion buy this DVD BUT if you are looking for comedy you can buy it if you want but I would recomend buying Rush hour 2. Now if you are a fan of Jackie Chan and seeking a hi-tech movie this is it.

Movie Review: Good Laugh
Summary: 4 Stars
O.k so this is not your usual entertaining blend of comedy and martial arts wizardry from the Chan man. However the movie is still worth collecting as it delivers the Jackie Chan brand of comedy that diverts one from reality even if for a while. There's enough action but not the sort that would appeal to die hard martial arts fans. Nevertheless the film should be judged on it's own merit as Jackie made it clear that he had wanted to do something different this time around. If viewed objectively the movie is entertaining and worth the effort.Movie Review: humorous and well choreographed
Summary: 4 Stars
Comedy with action and hi-tech gimmicks which are science fiction. If you like Jackie Chan this movie is fun. If you are new to Jackie Chan flicks this may not be the best, but it is good.Movie Review: Decent but one of Chan's weaker films.
Summary: 3 Stars
One of my favorite actors of all time Jackie Chan brings forth another memorable movie entitled "The Tuxedo" which while not groundbreaking by any means, is still a lot of fun to watch and more of the eye-popping stunts that Chan pulls off with his movies. The movie itself movie can go off track in several places but the absolutely hilarious stunts that bring the laughs that Chan has brought forth for so many years are still as fun and hilarious as ever. Starring Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt, the movie is of a lowly chauffeur named Jimmy Tong who is called to duty on a top secret mission. He is assigned because Devlin (Jason Isaacs), a secret agent who was going after a dangerous international criminal, suffers a serious head injury after an explosion caused by a failed assassination attempt and temporarily retires and Jimmy Tong takes his place. Tong dons on a tuxedo but he discovers that this very tuxedo he is wearing, is laced with state of the art gadgets that give the wearer special fighting abilities.
Jimmy Tong is assigned on a mission to foil the plans of a corporate madman whose plans are to infect the world's water supplies in order to muster up a massive fortune by forcing the public to buy bottled spring water. Now teaming up with
The movie is enjoyable to a degree and the laughs are there to keep one watching but there are areas where it really starts to veer off. The script is weak in several places and Jennifer Love Hewitt's character comes off as rude, and snobby, all the reason she's there is for her character is to just give Tong really bad blood and yell and yell at him, ARRGGHH! It's incredibly annoying!! I can't stand her!! I'm just referring to Hewitt's character in the movie, not Hewitt herself of course. This would've been a much better movie if Tong worked alone on the mission. It's not so much that the script or plot were bad but they both could really have used a lot more development and it all comes off as lukewarm at best.
The Cameo appearance by the Godfather of Soul James Brown was a really cool idea and the typical action sequences that Jackie Chan has brought us for so many years are so funny to watch (Watch when Tong bashed out a light bulb and caused sparks to fly, SO incredibly funny) but this movie doesn't add much to his legacy.
This is a halfway decent movie but I feel that they could've done a much better job at it and is one of Chan's weaker movies I've seen from what I can remember. "The Tuxedo" is worth a look and worthy of renting but don't expect a whole h.e.l.l. of a lot out of it compared with "Rumble In The Bronx", the "Rush Hour" movies, or "Shanghai Knights" or "Shanghai Noon".
