How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:136

Fresh:30

Rotten:106

Average Rating:4.4/10

Consensus: Chan is as charming as ever, but his talents are squandered by special effects and bad writing.

Rated: PG-13 [See Full Rating] for action violence, sexual content and language

Runtime: 1 hr 39 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Theatrical Release:Sep 27, 2002 Wide

Box Office: $50,189,179

Synopsis: Cabbie-turned-chauffeur Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) learns there is really only one rule when you work for playboy millionaire Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs): never touch Devlin’s prized tuxedo. But when... Cabbie-turned-chauffeur Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) learns there is really only one rule when you work for playboy millionaire Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs): never touch Devlin’s prized tuxedo. But when Devlin is temporarily put out of commission in an explosive "accident," Jimmy can’t resist trying on the tux and soon discovers that this extraordinary suit may be more black belt than black tie. Suddenly thrust into a dangerous world of espionage, paired with a rookie partner (Jennifer Love Hewitt) even less experienced than he is, Jimmy becomes an unwitting—if impeccably dressed—secret agent.

"The Tuxedo" stars Jackie Chan, the comedic action superstar who has more recently conquered the worldwide box office in such films as "Rush Hour 1 & 2" and "Shanghai Noon." Starring opposite Chan is Jennifer Love Hewitt ("Heartbreakers"). The film also stars Jason Isaacs ("The Patriot"), Ritchie Coster ("The Thomas Crown Affair"), Debi Mazar ("The Insider") and Peter Stormare ("Chocolat").

The action comedy marks the feature film directorial debut of Kevin Donovan, who made his name as an award-winning commercial director. John H. Williams ("Shrek") and Adam Schroeder ("The Truman Show") are producing "The Tuxedo," with Walter F. Parkes ("Gladiator"), Laurie MacDonald ("Gladiator") and William S. Beasley ("The Mexican") serving as executive producers. The screenplay was written by Philip Hay & Matt Manfredi ("Crazy/Beautiful") and Michael Wilson and Michael Leeson.

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker? Great. Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson? Cool. Jackie Chan and... Jennifer Love Hewitt? What the f**k?

Todd Gilchrist

The Tuxedo is sort of like a film that might have been made from a song by Burt Bacharach; its central conceit is odd, implausible, even a bit silly, but one can hardly begrudge it those elements when the thing plays so beautifully.

Both Chan and Hewitt need to have some serious talks with their agents.

Pablo Villaca

Apesar de Jackie Chan ser sempre simpático, não há uma única coreografia de luta interessante ao longo de todo o filme, o que é decepcionante. Além disso, Hewitt está insuportável.

This film could have been for Chan what The Mask was for Jim Carrey. Unfortunately, it will be more like what Leonard Part 6 was for Bill Cosby.

Chan's ballet-like martial arts moves don't disappoint, and his nice-guy, fun-loving attitude is highly contagious.

The charisma of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jackie Chan elevates an otherwise run-of-the-mill film into enjoyable entertainment.
