Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Blistering performances.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The Tuxedo (2002): Dir: Ken Donovan / Cast: Jackie Chan, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jason Isaacs, Debi Mazar, Peter Stormare: They say that the clothes don't make the man but in this action farce they take on a life of their own. Underneath the suit is a being of capabilities in everything except decent screenplays. Jackie Chan plays a cab driver hired to escort a secret agent when their car explodes. Chan teams up with a water expert played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. Chan discovers a tuxedo in his boss's closet but its numerous functions are never explained. Predictable story but fine directing by Ken Donovan who can be forgiven for the lousy screenplay. Chan is a master of the stunts, and even brings humour with the use of the tuxedo but that is about the height of his performance. Hewitt is the foil and can only call this a departure from the teen comedy roles she is use too. Jason Isaacs plays the agent but the role is a prop. The villain's water scheme is stupid and he spends too much time sitting in a chair looking like an idiot. He should be proud of the fact that any list of great movie villains will not contain any references to him. Peter Stormare is also featured in his umpteenth strange guy role that have him typecast as demented. In the end this is just a showcase in stunts and action with just about as much stupidity that can be crammed into ninety minutes. Score: 3 / 10

How can you not love any movie with Jackie Chan in it. He has so much charisma and is so endearing. OK so maybe this is not one of his best movies but I did find Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt working together adorable.The movie was kooky, zany, ridiculous and a lot of fun all at the same time. It was something different, if not completely original but it felt fresh nonetheless. I would have no problem watching this again if it came on TV and I wanted to be entertained without having to worry about real world dramas. So throw your cares out the window and give The Tuxedo a chance to charm you.

Jackie Chan is fabulous, I think he's really funny, can do incredible stunts and is always entertaining but this film is not his best. It's not anything to do with him, just the other actors are a bit cheesy (not Jennifer Love-Hewitt, she's fine) and the story is pretty stupid. I guess it is a children's film, sort of, but it's got a little bit more adult humour than one expects from Jackie Chan, but I liked that.The SFX aren't very good, the wire work is obvious, and whilst it is clearly a fantasy sci-fi it's just too silly to be sensible and I couldn't get involved or care anything for the characters or the disaster they were trying to avert.Watch it, but don't expect too much.

Note: I don't read other reviews before I write my own.Well, I just watched this movie for the first time and it was a blast! Good action, not a bad plot, very funny at times, and it really moves along. It's a good no-brainer, fun movie to watch with your kids say of about 12 years old and up.I've never liked JLH but in this movie her acting fit.The plot could have been stronger, Jackie was often difficult to understand and the acting wasn't the greatest, but for this kind of movie that's not the point.Overall good. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a fun action movie.
