An inept cop suddenly gets a new partner in the person of a cabbie with attitude in this high-rolling comedy. Washburn (Jimmy Fallon) is a police officer who becomes the laughingstock of the department after a series of traffic accidents cause him to lose his driver's license. One day, Washburn gets an urgent call to head out to the location of a bank robbery; unable to drive himself there, he hails a cab. As it happens, the taxi is being driven by Belle (Queen Latifah), a single mom who, after

I expected this to be much funnier: Latifah coasts on her charm, and Fallon seems incapable of playing an actual character.
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.
Goes nowhere fast.
Taxi runs out of fuel after the opening credits.
Corny, but it grows on you.
Fallon takes off on a few good funny-man flights.
Think twice before hailing this Taxi.
A laid-back, inoffensive time-waster.
Take the bus instead.
It would take a tankerload of laughing gas to pump some humour into this flat-tyred fiasco.
While Taxi is certainly full of faults that would be hard for most good actors to overcome, Fallon provides the fatal blow himself by being the least interesting part of a pretty paltry movie.
It's got suped up autos, suped up models, and suped up action. Fairly safe to say that it'll appeal to it's target audience, wethinks?
Among all the extras, I could find no trailer for Taxi, but I imagine that if I had, it would have been just about as much as I would have liked seeing of this film.
Taxi is one long car chase, which quickly crashes and burns.
Buckle up for crap!
Basically a crappy complete re-filming of a rather decent concept which was done allot better along time ago by Besson but ruined here by Hollywood. The casting is very poor, dumb and not entertaining in the slightest, the cars look shit and its all as cheesy as hell with poor obvious stunts.The inclusion of Gisele and

Taxi is massive pile garbage. The film is so stupid, so unimpressive, and very poorly acted. I caught this film waiting for classes in my College's Pub, as this was the film that was showing, luckily I went for a few cigarette breaks and missed a few parts, but in the end; I didn't miss anything. Queen Latifah is a
