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!
When I was a kid, I watched this movie many times with Azerbaijani, Russian and Turkish dubbing. I knew this movie was set in France, but I didn't know how the French language would sound. Actually from my childhood movies, funny, entertaining.
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.

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 !
This is definitely better than the original, it's more efficiently directed, faster in pace and funnier. The plot may be predictable, there are occasional moments of weak dialogue and Marion Cotilard who was so sublime as Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose is given little to do as Lilly. That said, it is very funny, with some good gags. Plus the french locations are stunning, the car chases are awesome and the martial arts sequences are absolutely great. Other pluses are the snappy direction, a cool soundtrack and a smoking hot Emma Sjoberg (aka Wiklund). Also the pace is faster, and other than Sjoberg another standout was Bernard Farcy as Chief Inspector Gilbert who was hilarious at times. All in all, this is a fun sequel, and better than the first film in my opinion. 7/10 Bethany Cox
