The Tuxedo
Jackie Chan stars in yet another comedy/action adventure where he takes over for his wounded boss, a super secret agent who has a special tuxedo that does practically everything, from letting him climb walls to imitate James Brown. Helping him along is J. Lo. Hewitt. Various things ensue, some for laughs, some for the plot, and eventually the problem is eventually solved, even if it seems like they didn’t do anything at all.

I did not like this movie. Sure, there were laughs. But they were few and far between. Hewitt serves as eye candy in the film but doesn’t have the comedic timing to keep up with Chan’s unique comedy. Chan just seems uncomfortable because he’s the true star of the film and he can’t fill such big shoes. Together, they don’t have the same chemistry as he does with Owen Wilson or Chris Tucker, or even between Jet Li and the late Aaliyah. (Well, I guess it's better than Sammo Hung and Arsenio Hall. What was that about?) And when the two leads can’t prop up a film with a weird and complicated storyline for a comedy (bugs poison water forcing people to buy one guy’s fresh water, or something like that), the movie can’t be expected to be any good. The film does fly by, so that it didn’t seem like I wasted 90 minutes watching it, but I did all the same. 1 star
