Critic Reviews

  • Hank Sartin, Chicago Reader

    I expected this to be much funnier: Latifah coasts on her charm, and Fallon seems incapable of playing an actual character.

  • , Time Out

    It would take a tankerload of laughing gas to pump some humour into this flat-tyred fiasco.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    Taxi is one of those madcap comedies where they show all those wacky bloopers during the closing credits to show you how much fun everyone had on the set. Maybe that's because they were in denial.

  • Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

    [Fallon] doesn't so much act as show up, and his utter lack of personality generates a vacuum that the movie cannot overcome.

  • Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

    Goes nowhere fast.

    Basically a crappy complete re-filming of a rather decent concept which was done allot better along time ago by Besson but ruined here by Hollywood. The casting is very poor, dumb and not entertaining in the slightest, the cars look shit and its all as cheesy as hell with poor obvious… More

    Taxi is massive pile garbage. The film is so stupid, so unimpressive, and very poorly acted. I caught this film waiting for classes in my College's Pub, as this was the film that was showing, luckily I went for a few cigarette breaks and missed a few parts, but in the end; I… More

    A decent comedy movie that has some serious funny scenes. Loved the car chasing. The ending was absolutely awesome. Though it seemed fake (like it looked those two cars wouldn't make it and obviously it's fake) but it was a great idea. Not great enough to recommend it… More
