One of my all time favorites.

Best movie ever!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

How can you not love any movie with Jackie Chan in it. He has so much charisma and is so endearing. OK so maybe this is not one of his best movies but I did find Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt working together adorable.The movie was kooky, zany, ridiculous and a lot of fun all at the same time. It was something different, if not completely original but it felt fresh nonetheless. I would have no problem watching this again if it came on TV and I wanted to be entertained without having to worry about real world dramas. So throw your cares out the window and give The Tuxedo a chance to charm you.

Taxi Driver Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) is given the job of chauffeur to smooth secret agent Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs), but after a bomb blast almost kills Devlin, Jimmy enters the world of espionage posing as his boss. With the help of sexy scientist Del Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and the use of Devlin's top secret, gadget laden tuxedo, Jimmy tries to defeat Dietrich Banning, a maniac plotting to poison America's reservoirs.I've been promising to show my 8-year-old son something from my kung fu collection for quite some time now, but due to the high level of violence in most of my martial arts DVDs, the majority were not really suitable; in the end, I gave him the choice between two Jackie Chan films: Twin Dragons or The Tuxedo. Unfortunately, he chose the latter, one of the Jackie's more recent films which I had avoided so far thanks to its being mainstream Hollywood fare aimed at a family audience. Still, I was willing to give it a go since it co-starred Jennifer Love Hewitt, whose looks and magnificent cleavage make even the lamest movies easier to endure.As I expected, this film features very little in the way of decent action or story: the plot is awful, the comedy weak, the fight scenes far too reliant on special effects and wire work, and Peter Stormare and Debi Mazar are totally wasted in a throwaway roles. As I had suspected, curvacious Jennifer Love Hewitt is easily the breast thing... err, I mean the best thing about the whole rather sorry affair.I rate The Tuxedo a miserable 2/10, plus a generous extra pair of points for JLH's extra-generous pair of points.

This movie was simply rubbish. There wasn't anything specific about it, but the whole movie simply seemed to be an attempt to bring Jackie Chan's silliness to the American market. He was a sensation in Hong Kong, and I am quite a fan of many of the movies he made there, but since he moved to the United States, I must admit that he career has nose dived.This movie is about a taxi driver named Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) who is hired to drive Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs) around. It turns out that Clark Devlin is a super spy, who is everything that Jimmy would like to be. Jimmy is given the run of Devlin's house, but is told that he must not touch the suit. The suit, it turns out, is a funky spy device that gives the wearer extra-ordinary powers. As you can imagine, Delvin gets incapacitated and Jimmy Tong has to come to the rescue.I found the movie predictable, and very unfunny, but then again I probably have a different sense of humour to a lot of people. However, even with the language barrier I found Chan's Hong Kong movies much funnier and much more entertaining, that the current lot that he is serving up.

I personally think The Medallion is worse than the Tuxedo, but the thing is The Tuxedo I was left cold by. Jackie Chan is always watchable, and he is one of the best things of this mediocre effort having a lot of charisma and doing what he can do. Jason Issacs also gives a strong performance, the first twenty minutes are actually great, the Macguffin is fun and the film does look good and doesn't look as though it was edited on a bacon slicer.However, despite these good things, The Tuxedo does fall downhill quickly. The storytelling on the whole is incredibly clunky complete with cardboard cut-outs for characters, poor dialogue, stunts that suffer from a lack of energy and unnecessary(not to mention sloppy) CGI effects that miss the point of everything Chan stands for. The film is badly paced, with a lot of rushed and slow spots that dispand from any more believability the film could have had, and the direction is bland. While Chan and Issacs are good, Jennifer Love-Hewitt is terrible. She in general is not a great actress but she is one with warmth and endearment, but with such a poorly written and undercooked role she tries way too hard.Overall, not Chan's worst, but rather weak. 4/10 Bethany Cox
