InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Jacob Reiss Despite all of the bad reviews, I found this movie to be funny! I love Queen Latifah's sassy and sarcastic humor. Jimmy Fallon is also a goof ball in this movie. The best scene in this film was when Andy is trying to pull out of a parallel parking space, but fails to do so and continuously keeps crashing into the cars in front and back of him. However, other than those two, there weren't many other well-known actors in this film. Some of the chase scenes were also very slow moving in my opinion. I also noticed that the city location changed frequently throughout the film. While it may not be hard to notice, at one point they are driving through New York and then another point they are driving through Los Angeles (you can see the palm trees and the traditional California traffic lights.)

Scarecrow-88 Preposterous critical flop (considered one of the most blasted films of its year, although it somehow was a financial success regardless) has a cop (who can't drive!) having to join forces with a heavily-ticketed taxi driver (moving up from bicycle courier) to stop supermodels robbing banks in tricked-up BMWs throughout the city.This is so desperate for laughs, Queen Latifa plays keep-away with Fallon's badge, with uniformed cops showing up to the unlucky cop's humiliation! Jimmy Fallon is a funny comedian with the right material and Latifa has plenty of screen presence and likability to spare, but, for whatever reason, this film was a disaster that served neither of them well. The laughable James Bond taxi cab that has buttons on a console allowing her to add a Nascar speed (the steering wheel comes off and the car transforms into a "taxi supercar"), with Latifa flying through traffic with relative ease, and Fallon, despite all of his incompetency and ineptitude (while performing on and off duty) as a cop his peers ridicule and find a laughingstock. While Jennifer Esposito looks foxy in tight "precinct office-ware", why she continues to tolerate Fallon's bumbling idiocy (she yells at him as bosses did towards Dirty Harry Callahan, but at least Eastwood's San Francisco detective was just protecting himself against street scum, not always leaving behind wreckage and costing the city thousands for fumbling the ball) is all part of the "strain your disbelief" expectations this comedy demands from us. Gisele Bündchen (now primarily known as Mrs. Tom Brady) is the ringleader of her supermodel bank-robbing gang (again, further evidence of how hysterically ridiculous this movie is to ring out the laughs from wherever it is possible to get them). Most of the car chase parts of the film concern Latifa pursuing Bündchen, taxi supercar vs. tranquilized BMW; you'd think these two were experienced stunt drivers speeding through heavily protected obstacle courses meant to persuade us that they are blessed with the gift to avoid certain death and destruction while other cars aren't so lucky…wait, that is the case, isn't it? If you can accept the "credibility strained to the max" plot absurdities, this might just tickle your fancy. There's even a "special" part for Ann-Margret as Fallon's constantly-wasted mother…meant to be funny, this was rather hard for me to watch actually. Embarrassing, really, for Margret as she depends on her margaritas for sustenance (she doesn't cook, but there are plenty of drinks!). Henry Simmons is Latifa's "sensitive hunk", Jesse. The finale where Latifa is driving with Nascar, Jeff Gordon (her idol!) parks up alongside to greet her (nothing like a little product placement, right?) put the icing on the cake.The film opens with Fallon undercover as a Cuban smuggler, getting his partner killed by accident (it was the parrot), with those being set up getting away. Right here is the first of many incidents that shows us that this young man has no reason to carry that shield. It is even hard to sympathize with him because he pulls the shield, stopping cars immediately, causing a ripple effect that leads to a stockpile! Yeah, I can't see why Fallon wouldn't be promoted to where Giancarlo is on the force.

Jackson Booth-Millard I remember seeing bits and pieces of the original foreign language film of the same name, and I remember hearing about this remake from the appearance of the leading actor on The Secret Policeman's Ball 2006, next to EastEnders' Shaun Williamson saying how bad it was, so I had to see why, from director Tim Story (Barbershop, Fantastic Four). Basically Isabelle 'Belle' Williams (Queen Latifah) has recently left her old job to become a New York taxi driver, but being a speed demon she has cab modified to have turbo engine, but her real dream is to be a champion race car driver. This is derailed however by the appearance of overeager undercover cop Andrew 'Andy' Washburn (Jimmy Fallon) who has a knack for causing chaos and has no driving skills, despite getting a licence. He is chasing a trio of beautiful female bank robbers, led by Vanessa (Gisele Bündchen), and Belle ends up being the only witness in the case and the only accomplice to solve the crime. So begins a game of cat and mouse with the two most unlikely partners chasing the robbers, and only causing mishaps all over the place, and of course making Lt. Marta Robbins (Jennifer Esposito) more mad. After the lieutenant says enough is enough, and takes Andy's melted (by Belle's hubby) off him, he and Belle do reconcile, and she teaches him to drive a little bit, and in the end they of course get the bad girls and everything settles. Also starring Ann-Margret as Mrs. Washburn, Henry Simmons as Jesse, Christian Kane as Agent Mullins and Ana Cristina De Oliveira as Redhead. Latifah's ghetto girl one liners are wasted, Fallon is a complete waste of space, the chase sequence don't make any difference to how bad it is, I remember giggling once, but only once, the story has absolutely no laugh out loud moments, a stupid action comedy. Pretty poor!

pvermaer This is truly one of those remakes that never should have been made. Queen L.'s role is totally unbelievable (I mean do you see her doing back-flips on a mountainbike across NYC?!). The original is copied in a very bad way and the translation from Marseille, FR to NYC could have been way better.In the original, the key role is a believable guy who. You'd think they picked him right off the street and put him on the set (which they did). The tuning of her taxi is really bad and again an unbelievably bad copy of the original in which the leading actor had enough street cred to do these kind of things. As stated in the title, the only good thing about this movie is seeing Gisele Bundchen driving a BMW 760.
