The Tuxedo doesn't fit Chan
The Tuxedo
Kevin Donovan
Jackie Chan, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jason Isaacs, Peter Stormare
PG12.
Chan is an acquired taste; and only worth a small corner of our plates.
He is not in himself an unsavory niblet, it's just that too many of his all-action films are too downright naff to send us home on a full stomach.
Here, he plays a cab driver whose regular client is a spy. On the departure of the spy, Chan discovers a magical jacket which gives him great martial arts skills.
Naff or what!
For all his charm, Chan cannot sustain a film on such dismal foundations and Tux ends up as a mess best left untouched.
2/5
