taxi be the american remake of the quirky 1998 luc besson comedy . while the core of the film be still orient around fast car and hot chick and zany humour and the film light hearted french comedic ambiance have be replace with a dirtier and more strident and and somewhat more serious american action comedy feel and which and although it try hard and doesn not quite translate a it should . queen latifah lead a belle williams and a taxi driver who run a soup up ford around the mean street of the city . jimmy fallon play the unco new york cop who land in her cab one day in pursuit of a bunch of foxy brazilian bank robber . together and they muddle through car crash and shoot out and weirdly decorate apartment to bring crook to justice . while the plot sound like a good premise for a decent comedy and the film be sorely lack in script composition . the one liner be crap and the joke feel force and and the script and which alternate between take itself too seriously and sheer stupidity and do no justice whatsoever to the energetic and talented cast . a major disappointment from what look to be a brilliant film . someone should remake it in six more year with a little more skill and i hope .
