Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Best movie ever!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

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)

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

I haven't watched the original which is probably why I have such a different opinion. However, I found it hilarious and at some points sweet. And the scene between Gisele and Jennifer was awesome.There was so much humour and although I liked the film, I can say that the acting was poor at times and it lacked character development and some of the scenes that were supposed to be funny were not. Some of the acting though, gosh it was the worst I've seen. But I think I liked that because it was cheesy and stupid and funny and not at all serious. The only really serious scene was probably Jennifer and Gisele's and that was only slightly more serious. Or when Marta fired Andy.I feel like Queen Latifah shouldn't have been in this film, and they should have got someone who didn't make the film have the cheesy aspect, which is what I think caused it. I love Jennifer Esposito's acting which is actually the main reason I watched this film so I am rating it 8 because I like 'terrible' films and Jennifer Esposito's acting and her scene with Gisele boost it up a lot.

Jimmy Fallon is a cop who cannot drive a car, yet he is in pursuit of bank robbers and finds Queen Latifah, who just happens to be a professional speed racer...And so, the two chase after the hot super-models/thief's.Jimmy Fallon is not the least bit funny, he does the same type of comedy that we have seen in a hundred other comedy cop films...While Latifah is annoying as the gutsy car driver...The script is badly written and the acting is even bad, the only plus aspect of this is Giselle Bundchen, it's her first film, and she looks great, thats what really kept me watching and me, giving this a two...But like Fallon, she is a weak actor with no redeeming qualities.One to avoid.
