Movie synopsis

In THE TUXEDO, Jackie Chan stars as Jimmy Tong, a taxi driver who's aggressive behind the wheel, but painfully shy outside of his cab. Jimmy's driving talents garner the attention of a secret organization, and soon he's hired as the chauffeur for the suave, enigmatic agent Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs). However, when Devlin is severely injured in an assassination attempt, Jimmy must don Devlin's suit--which just happens to be a state-of-the-art, two-billion-dollar weapon loaded with special capabilities and gadgets. Paired up with ambitious but inexperienced agent Del Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Jimmy must continue Devlin's mission, which involves foiling Dietrich Banning (Ritchie Coster), a power-mad bottled-water mogul.Kevin Donovan's action-packed comedy gives the talented Chan an unusual opportunity to play a character not adept at martial arts. Of course, once he puts on the tuxedo, he's capable of amazing physical feats, but Chan revels in hamming it up as someone who's literally not in control of his actions. Meanwhile, Hewitt provides catty support, and Isaacs (the villain in THE PATRIOT) makes the most of his good-guy role. A goofy Bond-ish romp, THE TUXEDO also features Debi Mazar as a tough secret agent and Peter Stormare as a nerdy mad scientist.

Jackie As A Bumbling Secret Agent ???

Created: 06/16/07
Review For: The Tuxedo (DVD, 2003, Widescreen)
In this movie Jackie Chan stars as Jimmy Tong who is a taxi driver.

Jimmy is very aggressive behind the wheel in his taxi, but is very shy outside of his cab, especially around women.

He captures the attention of a secret organization who hires him as the chauffeur for their secrent agent Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs).

Naturally Devlin is soon hurt in the movie, so Jimmy must don Devlin's special suit, which is disguised as a 'Tuxedo' !!

The Tuxedo is a state-of-the-art secret weapon loaded with special gadgets.

Jimmy pairs ups with the ambitious but inexperienced agent Del Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt) to finish Devlin's mission.

Since this is a comedy, Jimmy plays a character is not adept in martial arts. However since it is the Jackie Chan playing the role of Jimmy, it is very funny watching the action of someone who gets his skill from the special suit, the Tuxedo!

Some critics didn't like the James Bondish style of the movie, others complained of it being comic-bookish, but I thought it was fun!

Recommended viewing at least as a rental if not for your Jackie Chan Film Library!

If you like Jackie Chan movies then you wil like this one. Co-starring the beautiful Jennifer Love Hewitt this comedy is about a man (Chan) who gets ahold of this top secert tuxedo. He must foil the villians who are trying to get their hands on it. With all of Jackie's moves and stunts he does you are sure to enjoy this movie.

Fun Family Movie

Review For: The Tuxedo (DVD, 2003, Widescreen)
It's so hard to find a fun family movie that everyone likes, but this is a cute one. Jackie Chan has a way with comedy and action that every kid loves him. My girls loved Jennifer Love Hewitt.

A great family action movie, with something for everyone.
