Wonderful character development!
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
A mouthy and feisty taxicab driver has hot tips for a green and inept cop set on solving a string of New York City bank robberies committed by a quartet of female Brazilian bank robbers. The american remake of the 1998 Taxi from Luc Besson is better than it gets credit, actually it's very sexy, funny and above all? entertaining. Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon had a very nice chemistry and they were both very good plus i had totally forgot that Ann-Margret and Henry Simmons were in this movie as for the villains? damn is it hot in here? (10/10)
Well, the movie was okay, but Jennifer Esposito's and Christian Kane's characters were completely abusive, harsh and incompetent towards Andy, even though he was just trying to do the right thing to bring the bank robbers down. And, being that Marta fired Andy for his actions, Belle wanted to seek revenge against the two for their attitudes toward him. But, overall, I give it a 7/10.
Taxi (2004): Dir: Tim Story / Cast: Jimmy Fallon, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Esposito, Gisele Bundchen, Henry Simmons: The taxi may be a metaphor for support as Queen Latifah seems to be cop Jimmy Fallon's only form of transportation after losing his driver's license. He is a bad driver and she is a taxi driver who dreams of racing. Her taxi is equipped with every gadget one could ask for but her love life is falling apart with every missed dinner plate. Plot centres around a series of bank robberies performed by four models. This opens the door to much senseless sexual screen time with no point. Latifah and Fallon are the new duo to play off the buddy film comedy and what they deliver is just a series of dreary chase scenes. They will bicker and fight just like others before them, and they will solve the case and become stronger buddies. Director Tim Story does his best. He had success previously with Barbershop but here the script is about the same use as toilet paper. Jennifer Esposito as the Lieutenant is basically there to be body searched by one of the female criminals. The screenplay is about as terrible as Fallon's driving record. In the 1970's there was a classic sitcom that regarded taxis and their drivers. Watching several episodes of that would be superior viewing to this. Perhaps the best idea would be to place this film on the ground and see how many taxi cabs swerve to miss it, or appropriately do it in. Score: 2 / 10
This movie is hilarious. And is free of foul language making it a movie the whole family can watch. Jimmy Fallon has such a lovable comic sense and it shows through his character. Though predictable at times, this is a movie that you can watch when you just want to sit down and laugh. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something lighthearted and fun to watch. For being Fallon's movie debut he did a great job, so if you loved Fallon on Saturday night live, you will love this movie. Latifa also does a great job, and complemented Fallon very well, the contrast between the two characters was done very well, which in turn created some great comical moments. So to any Fallon and Latifa fans this is a great movie to watch.
