Taxi 2

As usual, the IMDB users who feel they belong to the upper eschilons of film society have mocked this, a film which is genuinely funny.

From the start the film is funny - a rally car being overtaken by a taxi - 'Tourists!' as he calls them. Some great exhibition driving, good stunts and a black impenetrable car which starts when someone says ninja to it.

Some good gags, good laughs and overall a very funny film. Although I feel it loses some of its charm in translation, my very limited knowledge of French helped me appreciate a bit more than I would have.

I spent a nice time watching this movie. I was laughing nearly all the time. Although I can speak French but it was not enough to understand many of the wordplays which are also surely not appropriately translatable in the subtitles. As usual in the French comedy they have to mock of the authorities like the government, the police or the army. Even the French president and prime minister did not escape this fate. Generally it's a movie to have fun in it . Since the movie takes place in south France the Arab immigrants has to show up in it with their accent. Many of the dialogues were in fact a critic against things that happen in France like among others the maltreatment of some foreigners by the police.

There is nothing special concerning the scenario or the direction. Anyway one cannot expect to see a movie with a totally coherent scenario. It's rather a light movie for having fun not in a totally stupid manner as is the case in many comedies. The actors played there roles in an appropriate manner also without any special or outstanding acting.

An improvement on the first movie, Taxi 2 cuts loose and delivers bags of silly OTT comic book action and comedy and even adds ninjas into the mix for good measure. Pretty much the whole cast return and the movie has a great sense of fun from start to finish.

This time around, Émilien helps bumbling cop Daniel foil the plans of an evil Yakuza gang, who kidnap a top Japanese ambassador and try to hypnotise him to kill the French president. The plot may be incredibly silly, but it is hugely enjoyable.

Once again, there are loads of crashes and smashes (including a massive pile-up of police cars) and Daniel's 406 returns too, more souped up than ever (it even has wings!). There is also a smattering of martial arts action, which always goes down well with me: a team of ninjas perform some incredible acrobatics (involving Parkour-style free running), and Emma Sjöberg and Tsuyu Shimizu kick ass in a couple of fun scenes.

My only gripe is that Marion Cotillard doesn't get an awful lot to do in this film other than sit around and wait for Émilien to return; what a waste of a perfectly good honey!

Taxi 2 is undemanding, energetic fun and gets a respectable 6.5 out of 10 from me (rounded up to 7 for IMDb).

this is a not bad series in my mind.when i saw "Taxi 2",i felt that it could make me laugh always,especially at the beginning when that woman who was pregnant got on that taxi:P also it was very funny when he explained to his girlfriend.dont ya think that it was very smiliar to the movie named "Meet The Parents"when he got home to meet the parents of his girlfriend?and that father also was so funny! anyway,for me,"Taxi 2" was really a good movie.but one problem here is that it was 2 short!when i felt so high,"the end"coming to the screen!it really made me feel a little disappointed! whatever,have to say that this movie was good for someone who likes laughing always just like me.cuz it was really easy to make ya feel fun!

Taxi 2 is a classic example that it IS possible to make a great sequel ! It's got everything you'd expect from a future classic action-comedy ...and it's French !?! Well, it's no surprise to this critic. Author and producer Luc Besson hasn't let me down yet. The guy just doesn't make a bad movie ! Just go see it, you'll know what I'm talking about !
