Avis à la une
I am surprised by how low rated this film is. Don't think. Just laugh.
Jackie Chan dryly pokes fun at action film clichés. He plays a non-hero, an unassuming regular guy who can't meet a girl, or do anything except drive, who gets sucked into a ridiculous situation.
Completely unbelievable and ridiculous. Not great cinema. All action movies are that way; this is funny because of the low-key irony.
Even Jennifer Love Hewitt seems deliberately miscast, but hilarious as she vacillates between superintelligent nerd, ditz, valley girl and superheroine.
We prefer this to Austin Powers with its completely over-the-top, zero subtlety. Here the sexual innuendo would not be missed by a teenager, but would go right over the head of kids, making it a film any age could enjoy. But you have to want to laugh, not critique.

I like this movie now more than when I first saw it.
The movie is really a mixture of Hong Kong style action with Hollywood style production. And it has Jackie Chan style humor that goes with it.
When this movie was made Jennifer Hewitt was still a relative unknown, and it seemed odd that she was Jackie Chan's sidekick. She kind of lacked the softness or sexiness of a woman at the time, and didn't soften the touch of the team. But now she's well known, and it's much easier to pick out her signature style of being the "Brain".
It's amazing to see Jackie Chan mimicking the move that's supposedly the work of the "Tuxedo". Human Jackie Chan is making the tuxedo look like it's making the human Jackie Chan move like super human.
Maybe teaming Jennifer Hewitt with Jackie Chan was bit experimental at the time, but after a decade, I can see how beautifully this movie is made, and how interesting the action is with Jackie and Jennifer as a team.

Like so many others, a long time adherent of the Jackie Chan style of cinema - I even got a kick as it were, out of the ubiquitous WHO AM I? Again like others I had looked forward to (admittedly with growing trepidation) to THE TUXEDO, despite my utter contempt, dislike and physical animosity towards the unswervingly vacant Miss Love Hewitt. But people, there is simply no justification for this movie's existence.. not that this segregates it much from so many other films these days? (and given that I'm seeing THE HOT CHICK tonight, I don't hold out much hope of any late cinematic change!)
THE TUXEDO is formula film-making...NOT to be confused with formula Jackie Chan film-making which I and many others were hoping to see. Sure, the odd laugh surfaces (most sink without trace)..Jackie produces his trademark martial arts lunacy - but it never gels! The script is a stinker. the aerial combats stale and plain stupid and about the only reason one could manufacture to see this thing is the dubious opportunity of watching Chan do the Jackie Brown!
Its not enough! Rent out either RUSH HOUR'S instead! You would be doing yourself a favor!

What do you look for in movies? A deep twisting plot? A story that stays with you long after and still stirs up emotions? Well you won't find it here! But... why does that have to be a bad thing? If you want a film like I mentioned, there are many out there. But, if you want to sit back and enjoy some light entertainment that will still make you laugh, no-one does it better than Jackie Chan. Sure, the plot is light, but what did you expect? I have seen this film twice now and would watch it again anytime. I have seen reviews saying this film was terrible purely because of JLH's role... I say make up your own mind, I'm not promising you will like this movie but at least give it a chance... When you have made as many movies as JLH and Jackie Chan, not every film you have starred in will appeal to every critic, but this may be just the right kind of film for you. One other point- Many of the reviews I have read say something like "This film is terrible, I'd rather watch Sin City, or We Were Soldiers," and while I like these movies myself, you need to remember that there are parents with young children who may struggle to find a film they are happy to show their children, and this movie may be more suitable for younger viewers, while still amusing parents. If you have read this, I want you to know that this is only my opinion, so I'll say again "Try it for yourself."
I had been waiting a long time for a jackie chan's movie to turn up and now finally here it is...for starters i really enjoyed this movie!!! Jackie chan has really improved his english... and i think he has found a great partner in Jennifer Love Hewitt!!! This movie is not only funny but also has a lot of action!!!! I would recommend it to any jackie chan fan!!!!
