Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

17

An action-choked dud in which even the closing outtakes barely deserve to be left on the cutting-room floor.

Dave Kehr New York Times (Top Critic)

A remake of a 1998 French film of the same name, Tim Story's Taxi is a bland, half-finished film that seems to have been conceived as off-peak cable fodder.

A surprisingly funny, female-driven romp -- as long as you don't question too many plot particulars.

Goes nowhere fast.

[A] dollar-bin action sitcom.

Jessica Winter Village Voice (Top Critic)

Throughout this Americanization of the Luc Besson-scripted French hit, Latifah itches to check her watch, Fallon appears mortified, and only Ann-Margret mainlines any comic adrenaline.

We often hear about movie scenes and characters being left on the cutting-room floor. In the case of the would-be comedy Taxi, that's apparently where all the laughs were left.

This comedy caper throws a little of everything into the mix with the predictable result that it winds up not being much of anything.

Taxi isn't quite a bad movie, but its slack comic timing may have you wishing they gave the Crown Vic a speaking part.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times (Top Critic)

25

A film that is wall-to-wall idiocy.

Robert K. Elder Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

50

Despite some gratuitous, lingering shots of Bundchen with her scantily- clad cohorts and some equally heated, rubber-burning car chases through Manhattan, Taxi never really gets out of second gear.

Hank Sartin Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

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

Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

50

Director Tim Story's film has two speeds: pedal-to-metal and screeching halt. The former is guaranteed to make the audience carsick, the latter to give it whiplash.

Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune (Top Critic)

75

Corny, but it grows on you.

Tom Long Detroit News (Top Critic)

42

A completely inane buddy flick filled with flashy car chases, ridiculous situations, cheap self-help advice, unabashed mugging and a few good laughs.

Bill Muller Arizona Republic (Top Critic)

20

I wouldn't call Taxi over the top. More like over the edge.

Robert Koehler Variety (Top Critic)

Taxi serves up embarrassing evidence that even a ragged French original can be better than its American remake.

Megan Lehmann New York Post (Top Critic)

13

The most embarrassing SNL vehicle since Pootie Tang.

Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

Has there ever been less chemistry between the stars of a 'buddy' movie?

Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

[A] thoroughly repetitive, ill-conceived and poorly executed effort.

Carina Chocano Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

20

Full of car chases, weak jokes and scenes so meandering they make Saturday Night Live look like a paragon of brevity and wit.

Think twice before hailing this Taxi.
