Wait for the Video
First things first, If anyone who watches this film really believes that was Queen Latifah in the opening sequences, I have some Brooklyn Bridge deeds to sell you, as well as some oceanfront property lots still available in Kansas. Now that that's out of the way...Taxi stars Queen Latifah and Jimmie Fallon. Latifah is a former bicycle messenger turned taxi hack, while Fallon is a New York City policeman who cannot drive. Fallon while reacting to a "bank robbery in progress" call employs Latifah to drive him the crime scene. Thus begins the arduous journey of our two co-stars.As you can surmise, the robbers successfully escape; Fallon is relieved of duty; Latifah loses her cab, and both must rely on each other to catch the guys (or in this case, bad girls).As in any buddy picture, the movie is only successful if the chemistry works between the stars. And though Fallon and Latifah aren't Gibson and Glover (Lethal Weapon), or even Chan and Tucker (Rush Hour), the camaraderie does work; and I did enjoy this film.My rating: Wait for the VideoBTW... Obviously the cab sequence of changing from taxi to supped-up hotrod must have cost a great deal of money..... The sequence is shown three different times throughout the movie..... At some point you're sitting there saying to yourself, "ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!! Get to the Chase!!!!!!!!"http://farisreel.com
