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.

  • 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.

  • Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

    Goes nowhere fast.

  • Jan Stuart, Newsday

    Taxi runs out of fuel after the opening credits.

  • Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

    Corny, but it grows on you.

    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

    A pretty good action comedy with some good car chases. Not very original but it has it's funny moments and some cool stunts.
