Critic Reviews

  • Ed Park, Village Voice

    The only possible surprise in The Tuxedo would be an extended demonstration of what was once Chan's trademark, the daffily choreographed kineticism forbidden of late by either his own age or the scruples of story editors.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    One of the worst movies of the year.

  • Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

    This overproduced and generally disappointing effort isn't likely to rouse the Rush Hour crowd.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    This movie is about the worst thing Chan has done in the United States.

  • Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

    It's drab. It's uninteresting. It squanders Chan's uniqueness; it could even be said to squander Jennifer Love Hewitt!

    Okay, the starting was totally disgusting. I was having my dinner while watching this and I truly wished I shouldn't have. But that was the only part. The movie was nice. There were few funny part that made me smile (notice how I didn't use the word "laugh"). I… More

    a run-of-the-mill action flick, complete with a kung-fu expert trying to act and an extremely hot sidekick, also trying to act.
