TAXI
Over the course of ones lifetime, you figure to have seen some amazing movies and then you can say you have seen some turdballs. Well in this case, I am not sure I could compliment TAXI to say it was just a turdball.
Jimmy Fallon couldn’t convince a blind and deaf man into thinking he was a Cop. The acting abilities of Fallon really come to the forefront in this assjammer of a movie. From start to finish you just cringe and eventually become embarrassed for this guy. I mean he made millions for the movie, but people will look at this and pretty much know the guy is a wretched actor.
Queen Latifah is a solid actress, but has really pigeon holed her career into these cutesy movies that are poorly written and directed. Latifah spent the entire movie saying “whaaaat are you talking about?” or “You are so dumb!” I mean I hate to ruin the plot for you but that is essentially the complete story line.
There are a few saving graces of the movie. Casting models as the villains was a good movie and believe it or not, these models were better actors/actresses then the stars of the movie! The outfits and the blatant attempt at putting these women in skimpy outfits were noticeable but appreciated.
The hottest scene of the movie was a Pat down of the Lieutenant played by Jennifer Esposito by the leader of the Female villains played by supermodel Gisele Bundchen. I stopped the DVD, replayed that scene a few times and found myself being aroused. One of the few scenes that I felt they did well, but this might not be the case for a female of course.
By the end of the movie, it was a relief it was over. No more cringing at poorly written lines, horrible acting, and an over-all pathetic ness to this waste of a DVD. The bloopers that aired during the credits was the only time I laughed throughout this so-called comedy. I suggested it be a Drama, because half way through this putrid film people would start crying that they just lost 4 bucks renting it.
I am not sure I have a rating for this movie. It was that bad. I have saw some real winners like My Boss’s Daughter and I am Sam, but this one is even worse. Believe that or not!
