(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 14% Rotten Page   1   3/5 "Fallon doesn’t understand that funny sometimes needs to be played straight; jokes aren’t funny when the actor is laughing while he is telling them."   Filmcritic.com   Blake French D "Films as lightweight as this usually can be counted on for some smiles, thrills, and good times. Taxi lacks all three. "   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Luc Besson produced this remake of his own 1998 wacky comedy: why, we'll never know."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1/5 "Buckle up for crap!"   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius .5/4 "Jimmy Fallon left Saturday Night Live for this?"   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "A spiffy-looking ride on a road to nowhere."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D "So Jimmy Fallon leaves 'Saturday Night Live' and immediately starts making bad movies. And the circle of life continues. "   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "Bottom line: folks, save your cab fare because the frightfully foolish and formulaic Taxi is one extremely banal and bumpy ride."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D- "An action comedy in which the action is negligible and the comedy nonexistent."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 6/10 "I love Latifah, who almost does the job here, and that's probably the highest compliment I can pay Taxi."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen "Taxi has its share of fun, jazzy moments ... but too often the comedy is dragged down by running gags that start off unfunny and end up being just embarrassing."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox 2/10 "Taxi is one long car chase, which quickly crashes and burns."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "Taxi is a remake of a French film, and another reason for the French to hate us."   Light Views   John Larsen 1.5/5 "Queen Latifah is a natural-born charmer, but there's only so much she can do when paired with a costar so irritating it's hard not to squirm when he's on the screen."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "Jimmy Fallon... is an astrophysical wonder... a black hole of funny, a yawning void of charisma."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson B- "Giselle Bundchen is called upon to lean over in low-cut shirts and have long legs, both of which she does well. She is also called upon to act, which she does not do well. "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1/4 "The film’s labored attempts at titillating sexiness is reminiscent of a mediocre Maxim magazine celebrity-skin spread."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 1.5/5 "Nothing really works here, from the ludicrous traffic choreography to the deeply irritating Fallon."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "A laid-back, inoffensive time-waster."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 5/10 "Its silly, screeching, high-speed, non-stop action clearly defines it as a Fall popcorn picture."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 3/4 "While the film has the look of a cliché buddy movie, Latifah and Fallon bring in their own flair of comedic skills to make a difference."   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 14% Rotten Page   1
