Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Lee Eisenberg I watched Joel Schumacher's "D.C. Cab" because I saw that Bill Maher co-starred in it, and I wanted to see his early appearance. He only plays one of several misfits driving taxis throughout Washington, DC. Naturally the movie's main selling point is Mr. T. In the end it comes across as one of those '80s movies that was a big excuse to be goofy*. More than anything, it shows a grittier side of our nation's capital (and I don't mean the government!). I enjoyed it. The rest of the cast includes Adam Baldwin, Gary Busey, Whitman Mayo (Grady on "Sanford and Son") and DeWayne Jessie (Otis Day in "Animal House"). It's too bad that Joel Schumacher went on to direct the worst Batman movies.*That was how "Weird Al" Yankovic described "UHF".

volaredez Let's face it you're only watching because Mr.T is in it. This film is classic T despite the relatively low amount of gold chains. The main point of the film is to see what Mr.T can get away with wearing. Whether it's T challenging everyone to tell him he's wearing crap or genuine bad fashion sense... perhaps we'll never know.People that should have known better include: Joel Shumacher, Adam Baldwin, The Barbarian Brothers and many more.For best results get a tape of the Mission Impossible theme music.In conclusion: I pity the fool that doesn't watch D.C Cab... and to a certain extent, I pity the fool that does!

quixotism-9 The 4 erroneous assumptions made in the making of D.C. Cab:Casting out of comedy clubs garuantees that said comedians will be funny on-screen as they trample through even the blandest of scripted "comedy".Audiences won't mind that Mr T, despite being on the poster, video boxes and all other advertising related to film is actually a small cog in the comedy wheel.Devoting a large narrative strand to where-are-they-now?/who-were-they-then? regular Irene Cara will ensure timeless appeal to Irene Cara fans for years to come.Idealistic Adam Baldwin is not made of cardboard.These failings aside, the movie offers a few ace Busey moments (You ever done drugs/I don't remember.).In short, it's an ensemble comedy, in the same Hollywood line that gave the world Revenge of the Nerds, the Police Academy movies, and Summer School. This movie sits somewhere below these. The cast is a little overcrowded, with too much of the "plot" devoted the weakest parts of the ensemble. Just out curiosity: How hard is it to write a movie around Mr T or Gary Busey? It seems that too often T is forever looped into heavy-with-a-heart-of-gold roles, while Busey just gets 2nd bananas, villains and maniacs.

JZvezda For months I wanted to drive around in a ghetto-fab taxi with rollers in my hair, but ma' wouldn't let me.No one should ever admit to enjoying this flick, as it is awash in stupidity and dripping in dumbness. It is painfully, dreadfully, wretchedly awful... and I've seen it about 47 times. In short: A tasty hunk of Velveeta, fun to semi-watch while you're vacuuming your carpets or waxing your legs, but tell no one you did. How many passengers?:I found Mr. T's character to be the kidney-stone I couldn't wait to pass. And Gary Busey is all kinds of Sam Kinison fun (hint: not fun at all). But everyone else on hand delivers one or two sure-p**ser lines...my personal faves being a fur-coat sporting Marsha Warfield, threatening to beat Denise Gordy's door down and "beat your ass to fried whale-sh*t!" Or the scene stealing Charlie Barnett as roller-headed "Tyrone", jumping up and down on a barn screaming "Bruce Lee! Bruce Lee! I found him! I found that karate muther-f*cker!"And the always under-appreciated Adam Baldwin, aka 'the only Baldwin that matters' turns in yet another competent performance as Albert "Whitebread Chicken-sh*t" Hockenberry. Plus, I've been finding him kinda dreamy ever since he played the teenage ax-murderer 'Ricky Lindermann" in "My Bodyguard". Forgive me this transgression...Where to?:"D.C. Cab" can't make up it's mind whether or not it wants to be a family film or "Animal House" on wheels. But it's far more successful when it's being lewd, crass, and it allows it's precious child actors to spit lines like "you are, a pitiful bitch!"What do I owe ya?:This cab is more hoopty than Cadillac, but a fun ride despite all the potholes.
