SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

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

ibrahim fattah It's a very good movie! I recommend it for a family night, but there is a scene, where Vanessa (one of the robbers) "touches" Marta's (lieutenant's) breast and butt (not naked). There are some cures too. I hope there will be a second one! It's a combination between a mystery and comedy. If i would put a min age, i would put 14+.

Scarecrow-88 Preposterous critical flop (considered one of the most blasted films of its year, although it somehow was a financial success regardless) has a cop (who can't drive!) having to join forces with a heavily-ticketed taxi driver (moving up from bicycle courier) to stop supermodels robbing banks in tricked-up BMWs throughout the city.This is so desperate for laughs, Queen Latifa plays keep-away with Fallon's badge, with uniformed cops showing up to the unlucky cop's humiliation! Jimmy Fallon is a funny comedian with the right material and Latifa has plenty of screen presence and likability to spare, but, for whatever reason, this film was a disaster that served neither of them well. The laughable James Bond taxi cab that has buttons on a console allowing her to add a Nascar speed (the steering wheel comes off and the car transforms into a "taxi supercar"), with Latifa flying through traffic with relative ease, and Fallon, despite all of his incompetency and ineptitude (while performing on and off duty) as a cop his peers ridicule and find a laughingstock. While Jennifer Esposito looks foxy in tight "precinct office-ware", why she continues to tolerate Fallon's bumbling idiocy (she yells at him as bosses did towards Dirty Harry Callahan, but at least Eastwood's San Francisco detective was just protecting himself against street scum, not always leaving behind wreckage and costing the city thousands for fumbling the ball) is all part of the "strain your disbelief" expectations this comedy demands from us. Gisele Bündchen (now primarily known as Mrs. Tom Brady) is the ringleader of her supermodel bank-robbing gang (again, further evidence of how hysterically ridiculous this movie is to ring out the laughs from wherever it is possible to get them). Most of the car chase parts of the film concern Latifa pursuing Bündchen, taxi supercar vs. tranquilized BMW; you'd think these two were experienced stunt drivers speeding through heavily protected obstacle courses meant to persuade us that they are blessed with the gift to avoid certain death and destruction while other cars aren't so lucky…wait, that is the case, isn't it? If you can accept the "credibility strained to the max" plot absurdities, this might just tickle your fancy. There's even a "special" part for Ann-Margret as Fallon's constantly-wasted mother…meant to be funny, this was rather hard for me to watch actually. Embarrassing, really, for Margret as she depends on her margaritas for sustenance (she doesn't cook, but there are plenty of drinks!). Henry Simmons is Latifa's "sensitive hunk", Jesse. The finale where Latifa is driving with Nascar, Jeff Gordon (her idol!) parks up alongside to greet her (nothing like a little product placement, right?) put the icing on the cake.The film opens with Fallon undercover as a Cuban smuggler, getting his partner killed by accident (it was the parrot), with those being set up getting away. Right here is the first of many incidents that shows us that this young man has no reason to carry that shield. It is even hard to sympathize with him because he pulls the shield, stopping cars immediately, causing a ripple effect that leads to a stockpile! Yeah, I can't see why Fallon wouldn't be promoted to where Giancarlo is on the force.

Anders Olsen I can describe it briefly. After watching the intro and finding it was none other than the always annoying Queen Latifah, I thought "hippos cannot ride bikes" and "this is going to be a bumpy ride". The Luc Besson version from '98 in a funny and entertaining piece of film. This is neither. This is a sad case of Hollywood trying to duplicate the European style of filmmaking. That in itself is usually a bad thing from the start, but when trying to duplicate or remake a Luc Besson film, it's impossible. In usual Hollywood fashion, it is just too dumb and ridiculous, all the way through. The cast and the cars in the original movie was memoralbe and great to watch, this is just painfully stupid. Watch the original and save your time and money on this worthless, run-of-the-mill Hollywood junk.

firefliesgreen512 I watched this movie when it first came out, but I watched it recently and it's better than I remembered. Jimmy Fallon is hilarious in this movie and I couldn't stop laughing. He is also great in Whip it. He's definitely my favorite actor and it was really funny when he dressed up as a Mexican. I'll spoil some of this movie for you, chances are that you've seen it because it came out in 2004. A woman named Belle drives a taxi and wants to become a race car driver. One day she meets a man named Andy who is a cop and wants to solve a case about a group of people who are robbing banks. During the film there is action and comedy and you will be laughing so hard like what Jimmy does in the bloopers. I loved, loved, loved this movie.
