The Tuxedo Reviews

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since Nick, my step-son, has a weak spot for Jackie Chan, I thought we might check this one out. Well, like all his other US productions, the whole thing was pretty inane. I mean, first of all, the very first scene involves a deer pissing in a stream. Come on, how on Earth can you recover from this?!? Well, apparently, it is not possible. Even this whole concept of a high-tech tuxedo was seriously misguided. Indeed, the main reason you might want to watch a movie starring Jackie Chan is to see the guy pulling some impossible stunts so to add a gadget involving a lot of CGI was clearly a bad move. Anyway, the moment they really lost me is when they got rid off of James Brown and used Jackie Chan to replace him. Again, seriously? At least, Jennifer Love Hewitt looked quite charming but this movie obviously didn’t help her career whatsoever. Anyway, by now, I think I have seen ALL the US productions involving Jackie Chan (I know, I have no life whatsoever...) and except for the 'Shanghai Noon' franchise which I found actually decent, the rest was a big waste of time and this movie was probably one of the worst of them.

This movie is a waste of every one's time. I didn't sit through the whole thing, oh no. I'd probably have killed off some brain cells by doing that. From what I did see of it though, the plot was pathetic, the acting was atrocious and it was basically just an excuse to watch some very mediocre fighting scenes and some eye candy. The eye candy not being all that great (Jennifer Love Hewitt could be a beautiful woman if she wasn't so annoying). To me some crappy fight scenes and eye candy does not automatically make a movie.
So if you want to save some brain cells don't watch this and if you want to kill some off there are plenty of other stupid ways to do it.
