When The Tuxedo starts with an animatronic deer peeing in a stream, you have every right to turn the thing off. But accepting this as a dumb spy spoof starring Jackie Chan as a naive cab driver turned chauffeur for Jason Isaacs as James Bond, it turned out pretty well. When it goes to for overt comedy, it stumbles, I agree, but when it's doing "comedy spies" (which I'm a sucker for), it's actually quite entertaining. Accept it, the premise is silly - Jackie inherits a high-tech tuxedo that allows him to be a super-spy capable of anything. He and Jennifer Love Hewitt, a rookie agent but brilliant scientist, must stop a threat to the world's water supply. She struggles with toxic masculinity at work - which is grating for us - but she's shown to be quite capable, so I think the movie's punching up. The action is correspondingly ridiculous and Jackie's as usual. Bonus half-star for how visual this thing is, with lots of gags to miss if you're looking at your phone. I'm not saying it's Citizen Kane or anything, but I was surprised how much I enjoyed it despite its opening shot. 2 years 10 months ago -

One of Chan's weakest movies. The acting and plot are really terrible and even the stunts are not up to par. 8 years 2 months ago
