    Bumbling cop Washburn (Jimmy Fallon) is a terrible driver who loses his license and so recruits reluctant Belle (Queen Latifah) and her souped-up mega-cab after he stumbles onto a team of supermodel bank robbers. Several klutzy encounters and high-speed car chases ensue. If this sounds to you like the obvious result of a Hollywood pitch session ("Hey, let's pair some guy from Saturday Night Live with a tough-talking African-American and set them after babes on wheels!"), you're right; it doesn't mean, however, that you won't get in a few decent laughs before director Tim (Barbershop) Story's amiable time-killer falls into a steaming pile of would-be blockbuster buddy film cliches. The ever-ingratiating Latifah has long since proved her star charisma, and Fallon does an amusingly offhand parody of failed machismo. They're clearly having a good time together, and you could do worse than their company. There isn't a frame here that isn't cheaply recycled from some other lame action comedy, but if you grit your teeth for the very bumpy ride, you'll come out without too many scratches.--Steve Wiecking

    Latifah and Fallon have great chemistry together.
    So good, in fact, you begin to wonder if they are
    not chasing after, or being chased by, the wrong
    persons.

    He has a girlfriend, or rather a "it is just a matter of
    time before she is my girlfriend" and she has a fiance,
    or a "I want you to stay being my girlfriend", who has
    just financed the purchase of a diamond ring, and that is
    way before the wedding ceremony is under way. That
    financing, will have to wait. (Fiance, is one 'N' away
    from finance.) First, she has to say yes, but in order to
    say yes, she has to show up. She is dodging her boy,
    and he is chasing his girl: They are distracted.

    She drives. She likes to drive, stay in motion. He
    hates motion. But if he doesn't learn to drive, how
    will he chase? He sits with her, taking notes, writing.
    She knows a lot about cars, and he doesn't. But he is
    persistent, while those around him want quick results.
    Does a cab driver EXPECT to be paid, or does she
    HOPE to get paid? Is taxi a noun, or a verb? I taxi U.

    The movie is a study in contrast. But of what?
    Masculine. Feminine. Dynamic versus Static:
    Flowers versus Bees. His name is Washburn:
    As in, wash and burn. Water and Fire. Truth and
    Love. Blood and Spirit. Red and Blue.

    And then there are these super-model bank robbers
    who seem as if they would be the last people upon
    the earth to worry about staying or going, able to
    chase down and capture, or run away, for they
    live in the fast lane, and they pose. They can handle
    both the Static and the Dynamic...Perhaps, by the
    end of the movie, you will find yourselves rooting for
    the supermodel bankrobbers instead, while wondering,
    Why did they feel they needed to rob banks or drive cars
    and fire guns, looking the way they do? For they could
    "hire" a private army, have chauffers do their driving, and
    get paid, for just being themselves. Why do all that
    work when they don't have to? Maybe because they
    wanted to break down stereotypes about what
    supermodels can and cannot do. Or maybe because
    a chauffer expects something in return, and they just
    got tired of that. They want to feel taxied for a change.

    The best actor in this movie is Gretchen Bundchen,
    (2 dots over the u), because even though she had
    few lines, she had this presence. She was "gold" in
    every scene: It was difficult to take notice of what the
    other actors were doing when she was in a scene. Not
    too many actors have that quality.

    I can't think of one thing good about this movie except that it has a couple of hot girls in it. Jimmy Falon was mildly amusing when he would crack up like an idiot on SNL during his skits but he should never be in another movie. He is horrible. Queen Latifah was not funny at all in this and Luc Besson must have needed a pay check. I am a big fan of Besson and he really put out a steamy pile of garbage with this one. Probably his worst movie ever.

    I thought this movie was very good, and funny. Queen Latifah played a wondferul part. Jimmy Falllon, I really didn't know his work, so I can't judge him, but if your a Queen Latifah fan, this movie should be in your collection
