(1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 60% Fresh Page   1   3.5/5 "By themselves, Chan and Tucker do not provide anything inspiring or refreshing, but when they are combined, they form a surprisingly entertaining comedic duo."   Filmcritic.com   Blake French "Much of it [is] quite funny."   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "The story is still routine, and still predictable, and still unimportant."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 2.5/4 "...manages to coast on the palpable chemistry between the two leads..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 4/10 "A disappointment."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Dragan Antulov B "I didn't have very high expectations for this film, and it was much better than I thought it was going to be."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "As Chan moved from Hong Kong to Hollywood, something got lost in the translation."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "Most of it pales in comparison to Chan's earlier movies, which makes one wonder if he might be getting too old for some of the more dangerous fare he might have attempted five or ten years ago. Let's hope not."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "A perfect popcorn film -- lightweight, low in nutrients but remarkably satisfying nonetheless."   Netflix   James Rocchi "Sure, the action's there, along with his trademark amazing physical stunts, but in getting the Hollywood treatment, a great deal of the fun stemming from Chan and his "antics" has been lessened."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "Funny movie chopped full of action, lacks an original concept and plot line, but comes through with hilarious banter from Tucker and fun fight scenes with Chan."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 6/10 "Chan is as sweet and charming as ever. Tucker makes an excellent foil. And things blow up."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/4 "Terrific entertainment."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B- "The great Jackie Chan deserves an A list director in a Hollywood film while he's still young enough to pull off his awe inspiring stunts."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 7/10 "Brash, stupid and surprisingly watchable!"   Boxoffice Magazine   Maitland McDonagh "Dumb fun that actually is fun, and there's always a place for that."   Film Journal International   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "Brash, stupid and surprisingly watchable, this picture puts just the slightest spin on the 48 HRS."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "You won’t be disappointed."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "Chris Tucker...appears to be a white man in blackface plucked from a 1920s minstrel show."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "The action and stunt scenes are not on a par with those in Chan's HK efforts."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3/4 "Rush Hour...proves that old formulas can be made fresh with a few good ideas."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 2/5 "How sad that the great Chan is presumed to need this kind of dumbed-down buddy movie."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 8/10 "Rush Hour, starring Chan and Chris Tucker as a couple of mismatched cops on the trail of a kidnapper, is more of an American film. Although it features plenty of Chan's mind-boggling physical agility, it really showcases the comic abilities of both men."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C+ "Eventually, of course, Lee and Carter must learn to work together, respecting one other’s methods and abilities, blah blah blah."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 4/10 "The funniest bits are the blooper out-takes at its conclusion but, when I saw it, not that many people stayed in the theater long enough to laugh."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Susan Granger 3/5 Read review   Movie Mom at Yahoo!
