Now
I am not a huge Jackie Chan fan and I think his act is getting
a tad bit tired. But I must say that what he does have going
for him is that he continues to get himself set up with different
co-stars that can help carry his movies.
First
with Chris Tucker in the "Rush Hour" films, then
Owen Wilson in the "Shanghai Noon" and soon to be
"Shanghai Knights" and now Jennifer Love Hewitt
in "The Tuxedo".
He
knows he can't speak to good of english but he also knows
his fans want to see him in action, not talking. In this film
he gets to fight in a new way. A way with more special effects
than usual and you can tell. It seems like he is getting old
and as it has been documented, Hollywood producers don't like
him doing all of his own stunt work as he has done so many
times in the past.
The
story is simple, he is a driver for a secret agent, and because
of some certain circumstances he must wear a special tuxedo,
hence the name of the film.
One
the tuxedo is on the fun begins. The main problem with this
is that the tuxedo doesn't go on for quite awhile and the
start is pretty slow.
Jennifer
Love Hewitt also plays an agent and you can tell she had a
great time filming the movie, she really delivers a fine performance
and this could be a teaming that we see again in the future.
They have chemistry as both play people in way over their
head as they try to stop a maniac from taking over the worlds
water supply.
There
is action, laughs and high jinx with a few moments thrown
is for the boys as Love Hewitt shows off some of her physical
attributes.
The
movie is not great by any means but it is the perfect Sunday
afternoon, nothing to do type of flick.
It
is rated PG-13 and although it has been marketed on a bunch
of kids t.v. stations, some scenes may be a bit intense.
Anyhow,
if you pay money to see this movie, just go in and have fun
with it. If you try to watch it with a critical eye, you'll
go blind.
