UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Python Hyena The Tuxedo (2002): Dir: Ken Donovan / Cast: Jackie Chan, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jason Isaacs, Debi Mazar, Peter Stormare: They say that the clothes don't make the man but in this action farce they take on a life of their own. Underneath the suit is a being of capabilities in everything except decent screenplays. Jackie Chan plays a cab driver hired to escort a secret agent when their car explodes. Chan teams up with a water expert played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. Chan discovers a tuxedo in his boss's closet but its numerous functions are never explained. Predictable story but fine directing by Ken Donovan who can be forgiven for the lousy screenplay. Chan is a master of the stunts, and even brings humour with the use of the tuxedo but that is about the height of his performance. Hewitt is the foil and can only call this a departure from the teen comedy roles she is use too. Jason Isaacs plays the agent but the role is a prop. The villain's water scheme is stupid and he spends too much time sitting in a chair looking like an idiot. He should be proud of the fact that any list of great movie villains will not contain any references to him. Peter Stormare is also featured in his umpteenth strange guy role that have him typecast as demented. In the end this is just a showcase in stunts and action with just about as much stupidity that can be crammed into ninety minutes. Score: 3 / 10

djhorvath17 Unfortunately, The Tuxedo stretches the genre in new ways, and I do not mean in the good direction. The gimmicks in the "secret agent tuxedo" aren't used in a clever manner and there's very little tension. The physical comedy just didn't work for me, and there were a few stupid character reactions (Jennifer Love-Hewitt) straight out of the cheesy Disney flicks of the 1970s, you know where the bad guys get soaked with a vat of milk and somehow that defeats them even though they have guns. While there are a few action scenes of merit, overall the film was slow- paced and... I'm forced to say it... just not really worth watching. It just lacked the "cult appeal" that bad films have to have to turn bad into good.

david-sarkies 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.

TheLittleSongbird 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
