Watch The Tuxedo For Free

Fresh and Exciting

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The acting in this movie is really good.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The Tuxedo (2002): Dir: Ken Donovan / Cast: Jackie Chan, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jason Isaacs, Debi Mazar, Peter Stormare: They say that the clothes don't make the man but in this action farce they take on a life of their own. Underneath the suit is a being of capabilities in everything except decent screenplays. Jackie Chan plays a cab driver hired to escort a secret agent when their car explodes. Chan teams up with a water expert played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. Chan discovers a tuxedo in his boss's closet but its numerous functions are never explained. Predictable story but fine directing by Ken Donovan who can be forgiven for the lousy screenplay. Chan is a master of the stunts, and even brings humour with the use of the tuxedo but that is about the height of his performance. Hewitt is the foil and can only call this a departure from the teen comedy roles she is use too. Jason Isaacs plays the agent but the role is a prop. The villain's water scheme is stupid and he spends too much time sitting in a chair looking like an idiot. He should be proud of the fact that any list of great movie villains will not contain any references to him. Peter Stormare is also featured in his umpteenth strange guy role that have him typecast as demented. In the end this is just a showcase in stunts and action with just about as much stupidity that can be crammed into ninety minutes. Score: 3 / 10

Martial arts star Jackie Chan plays chauffeur Jimmy Tong, who has been employed by millionaire Clark Devlin to be his driver. After an accident that put Devlin in the hospital, Tong was supposed to fetch some things for him and unknowingly tries on Devlin's tuxedo, which turns out to be a suit that dons special powers. This discovery leads Tong into an espionage case involving Dietrich Banning (Ritchie Coaster), who was responsible for Devlin's accident, and involving the intervention of an American spy agency, who assigns scientist Del Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt) to the case.I've seen this movie a number of times and most likely enjoy it for its quick-action, quick-humor and for the fact that Chan and Hewitt are in it - all despite the film having overly slapstick humor, corny acting, lack of suspense, and lack of rapport between Chan and Hewitt's characters (since they're supposed to be a team). Chan clearly didn't take his role too seriously, but was just having fun with his character, showing off a dozen martial arts moves.It's not an action masterpiece, but a popcorn-fun film with a touch of thrills and sci-fi.Grade B-

This movie was simply rubbish. There wasn't anything specific about it, but the whole movie simply seemed to be an attempt to bring Jackie Chan's silliness to the American market. He was a sensation in Hong Kong, and I am quite a fan of many of the movies he made there, but since he moved to the United States, I must admit that he career has nose dived.This movie is about a taxi driver named Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) who is hired to drive Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs) around. It turns out that Clark Devlin is a super spy, who is everything that Jimmy would like to be. Jimmy is given the run of Devlin's house, but is told that he must not touch the suit. The suit, it turns out, is a funky spy device that gives the wearer extra-ordinary powers. As you can imagine, Delvin gets incapacitated and Jimmy Tong has to come to the rescue.I found the movie predictable, and very unfunny, but then again I probably have a different sense of humour to a lot of people. However, even with the language barrier I found Chan's Hong Kong movies much funnier and much more entertaining, that the current lot that he is serving up.

I've read numerous negative comments about this movie and its several actors on this blog, and I have to wonder what is going on the lives of these unhappy mental midgets that they did not find this movie thoroughly enjoyable. It is one of Chan's best. Jennifer Hewitt is "DAZZLING" (as are the other gorgeous ladies) on top of hysterical. Jason Isaacs is considerably smooth and not in near enough of the movie. It makes me think that the negative comments were written by people working for the opposition. I AM amazed at the decision to cut the majority of the deleted scenes (I won't spoil it by telling you which). Get the DVD and enjoy the whole event over and over. For my tastes, it will be a default movie... one I will look forward to watching frequently.
