when he lose his driver license and an inept police officer ( jimmy fallon ) must rely on the reckless driving skill of a taxi driver who would prefer to drive race car ( queen latifah ) to help him stop a gang of beautiful brazilian bank robber . the premise sound like one of those film that be really stupid yet still kind of funny . however and it do not really work out like that . the film wasn not a complete dud it just wasn not very funny . i wasn not surprise this film do not do so well in theater . the preview be weak and a lot of people do not like jimmy fallon . i only saw it because of queen latifah . unfortunately and she couldn not save the movie . the film be just too childish and unoriginal . there be a few funny line yet nothing that really make me laugh a lot . it start off well but then it start to drag and it feel a lot long than 97 minute . i even have low expectation because the critic murder the movie but it be not very funny . queen latifah be easily the best thing about taxi . she have a lot of charisma and she make the film watchable . jimmy fallon be okay and nothing special . sometimes he try too hard to be funny though . for his first movie and he sure make a poor choice . he could have a successful movie career and he just need to make good choice . gisele bundchen be very beautiful and she do a good job but her role do not exactly call for a lot of act talent . the direction be uneven and tim story isn not a very good director . also and the chemistry between latifah and fallon just wasn not there and they do not seem right for each other . this comedy just suffer from a weak script and weak direction . it end up be a below average comedy and it wasn not worth watch in theater . in the end and if youre interested in watch taxi wait for video . rating 4/10 .
