Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: An example of the sort of fun you can have when you're not taking yourself -- or the job -- too seriously. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: [Fallon] doesn't so much act as show up, and his utter lack of personality generates a vacuum that the movie cannot overcome. Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: 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. Read more
Hank Sartin, Chicago Reader: I expected this to be much funnier: Latifah coasts on her charm, and Fallon seems incapable of playing an actual character. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Taxi is one of those madcap comedies where they show all those wacky bloopers during the closing credits to show you how much fun everyone had on the set. Maybe that's because they were in denial. Read more
Bob Townsend, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Fallon takes off on a few good funny-man flights. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: I wouldn't call Taxi over the top. More like over the edge. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: [A] dollar-bin action sitcom. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: Full of car chases, weak jokes and scenes so meandering they make Saturday Night Live look like a paragon of brevity and wit. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: Taxi isn't quite a bad movie, but its slack comic timing may have you wishing they gave the Crown Vic a speaking part. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: An action-choked dud in which even the closing outtakes barely deserve to be left on the cutting-room floor. Read more
Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News: This comedy caper throws a little of everything into the mix with the predictable result that it winds up not being much of anything. Read more
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly: The glitch, beyond the rote story, is that while she's an infectiously upbeat screen presence, Latifah is not, inherently, a major laugh generator, and neither, it would appear, is Fallon. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: 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. Read more
Dave Kehr, New York Times: 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. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: Has there ever been less chemistry between the stars of a 'buddy' movie? Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: A film that is wall-to-wall idiocy. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: A formula picture, with enough laughs to get by. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Corny, but it grows on you. Read more
Time Out: It would take a tankerload of laughing gas to pump some humour into this flat-tyred fiasco. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: A surprisingly funny, female-driven romp -- as long as you don't question too many plot particulars. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: Taxi serves up embarrassing evidence that even a ragged French original can be better than its American remake. Read more
Jessica Winter, Village Voice: 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. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: Goes nowhere fast. Read more
