Reviews for The Tuxedo
Top CriticThe only possible surprise in The Tuxedo would be an extended demonstration of what was once Chan's trademark, the daffily choreographed kineticism forbidden of late by either his own age or the scruples of story editors.
10/01/02
Top CriticOne of the worst movies of the year.
09/30/02
Top CriticThis overproduced and generally disappointing effort isn't likely to rouse the Rush Hour crowd.
09/27/02
Top CriticThis movie is about the worst thing Chan has done in the United States.
09/27/02
Top CriticIt's drab. It's uninteresting. It squanders Chan's uniqueness; it could even be said to squander Jennifer Love Hewitt!
09/27/02
Top CriticFor the first time in Chan's glorious career, credits for various fx-oriented skills far outnumber those for stunts and fight choreography, always in the past the beating, thumping heart of every Chan movie.
09/27/02
Top CriticIf The Tuxedo actually were a suit, it would fit Chan like a $99 bargain-basement special.
09/27/02
Top CriticIt all adds up to good fun.
09/27/02
Top CriticSome hack makes a beer commercial and winds up trashing Jackie Chan.
09/27/02
Top CriticIt is a measure of the screenwriters' laziness that Brown's impromptu aside to Chan during the obligatory closing-credits outtakes sequence turns out to be the wittiest one-liner in the whole picture.
09/27/02
Top CriticThe material in this spy spoof is, pardon the pun, awfully frayed.
09/27/02
Top CriticDuring The Tuxedo's 90 minutes of screen time, there isn't one true 'Chan moment'.
09/27/02
Top CriticAs an actor, [Chan] does stretch a bit.
09/27/02
Top CriticDonovan ... squanders his main asset, Jackie Chan, and fumbles the vital action sequences.
09/27/02
Top CriticThere's so much show-offy cutting and so much trickery with film speed and camera work in this movie when it comes to Chan's stunts that you can't really be sure Jackie is actually executing the maneuvers you see.
09/27/02
Top CriticThe movie is silly beyond comprehension, and even if it weren't silly, it would still be beyond comprehension.
09/27/02
Top CriticThe jokes are as fresh as rotten eggs and the direction stoops to the occasion.
09/27/02
Top CriticStranded in the middle of this mess, looking a bit flummoxed, is martial-arts master Jackie Chan, who beats the bejabbers out of everyone in his path, perhaps mistaking them for the writers.
09/27/02
Top CriticA mechanical action-comedy whose seeming purpose is to market the charismatic Jackie Chan to even younger audiences.
