Plot: Jackie Chan looks spiffy in The Tuxedo, but the movie needs a tailor. No Jackie Chan movie could be a total misfire, however, and he's charmingly self-effacing here as a hapless chauffeur who i...( read more read more... )nadvertently replaces his injured super-agent boss (Jason Issacs) and foils a madman (Ritchie Coster) who plans to infect the world's water supply (!) and reap a fortune selling pure bottled water. Jackie's a bumbling superhero after donning his boss's high-tech, Inspector Gadget-like tuxedo (it even has a "Mambo" setting), and curvaceous co-agent Jennifer Love Hewitt coaches him in crime fighting while closing in on the bad guys. It's all as routinely ridiculous as it sounds--Jackie's faux James Brown act is the only real highlight--and as critic Roger Ebert observed, the climax hinges on an insect queen that doesn't exist in nature! So, while Jackie and Jennifer provide a few moments of stellar stunts and random amusement, you can blame this mess on screenwriters who didn't do their homework. --Jeff Shannon

    With a stupid storyline, bad villains, and Jennifer Love Hewitt in the most annoying role ever, this movie should have sucked. But Jackie Chan was able to save it for the most part and provided a lot of comedy and made it fun. Also, Romany Malco is very funny in the beginning of the movie.

    Jackie Chan plays a bungling man who happens to find a high tech spy suit that can do anything, including martial arts. A really silly movie.

    Gotta love Jackie Chan. His performances are so consistently heart felt that it's impossible to not have some sort of admiration for him and his craft.

    What really shines in this movie is Jennifer Love Hewitt. She's so much fun to watch, and the one liners she's loaded with come across as sharp and entertaining. I loved it.

    A lot of fun, the quote on the front cover describes the movie very well.

    The Tuxedo was based on a really stupid idea. There were a few good action sequences but nothing spectacular.

Jimmy wears tuxedo is a gadget capable of granting its wearer special abilities (including martial arts, the ability to dance, active camouflage, and being able to walk on walls). He joins genius scientist named Delilah Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt). Del falls in love with him and they go for coffee.

    Funny comedy about a taxi driver who becomes entangled in a mission to save the water supply from contamination and he does this with a magic tux! A different Jackie Chan movie.

    One of Jackie Chans martial arts king! best acting performances with a lil bit of comedy with Love Hewitt, machine-like tuxedo with Jackie Chan as the person holding it, recommend, "Around the World in 80 Days" too! : ]
