unfortunately and this be a film that look well in the trailer when the film be be promote and prior to it commercial release . we just catch with it thank to a borrow dvd and we be so happy we do not have to pay to watch this masterpiece . the film and direct by tim story and be a rip off . it be loosely base on much good french comedy create by luc besson . this one here give credit to ben garant a it writer . taxi be an exercise in how not to make movie . the casting of jimmy fallon for the main role be a poor judgment by whoever decide to give the comedian this plum job while he be not even funny . the opening sequence involve the undercover operation where washburn fake to be a cuban mafioso and show that mr. fallon need to reconsider future appearance in film . queen latifah and a charismatic performer and be handicap have to act next to an inane actor that ruin some of her best moment in the movie . ann margaret must have be feel desperate when she agree to appear in this film a the lush mother of washburn and but on second thought and it make perfect sense that with a son like him and drinking be the only way this woman can go through life . watch it at your own risk .
