I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The Tuxedo (2002): Dir: Ken Donovan / Cast: Jackie Chan, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jason Isaacs, Debi Mazar, Peter Stormare: They say that the clothes don't make the man but in this action farce they take on a life of their own. Underneath the suit is a being of capabilities in everything except decent screenplays. Jackie Chan plays a cab driver hired to escort a secret agent when their car explodes. Chan teams up with a water expert played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. Chan discovers a tuxedo in his boss's closet but its numerous functions are never explained. Predictable story but fine directing by Ken Donovan who can be forgiven for the lousy screenplay. Chan is a master of the stunts, and even brings humour with the use of the tuxedo but that is about the height of his performance. Hewitt is the foil and can only call this a departure from the teen comedy roles she is use too. Jason Isaacs plays the agent but the role is a prop. The villain's water scheme is stupid and he spends too much time sitting in a chair looking like an idiot. He should be proud of the fact that any list of great movie villains will not contain any references to him. Peter Stormare is also featured in his umpteenth strange guy role that have him typecast as demented. In the end this is just a showcase in stunts and action with just about as much stupidity that can be crammed into ninety minutes. Score: 3 / 10

I like the majority of the movie. I mean Jackie is always great in almost every movie he's in. This movie however he really doesn't do that much awesome stunts. Here he's really more a comedian. I also don't like the villain because he really isn't intimidating and he basically gets he butt handed to him by Jackie without a fight. They could have at least made the villain put up more of a fight! Overall I liked a majority of the story the only thing that I really don't like is Jennifer Love Hewitt's character because her development is weak and she is so annoyingly hot. I mean I like it but they don't need to advertise it so much in a movie, like this one. I enjoyed this movie for the most part except for the final fight. Overall I give it a 7.5 out of 10.

How can you not love any movie with Jackie Chan in it. He has so much charisma and is so endearing. OK so maybe this is not one of his best movies but I did find Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt working together adorable.The movie was kooky, zany, ridiculous and a lot of fun all at the same time. It was something different, if not completely original but it felt fresh nonetheless. I would have no problem watching this again if it came on TV and I wanted to be entertained without having to worry about real world dramas. So throw your cares out the window and give The Tuxedo a chance to charm you.

Jackie Chan is a cab driver who meets a spy, who gets hurt and now Jackie must replace him and take on the role of the spy by wearing his tuxedo. A tuxedo that gives him superpowers....The concept is cheesy and does not work, its not something you would associate with Jackie Chan although the fight scenes are still amazing the arrival of Jennifer Love Hewitt wrecks the film, she isn't funny and doesn't suit Jackie Chan. I understand that Jackie wanted to try something different but this just doesn't work....I found the film to be predictable especially with 'James Brown' although the singing scene was very funny and kept me entertained...Ovcerall not the greatest Jackie Chan movie.
