Cabbie-turned-chauffeur Jimmy Tong learns there is really only one rule when you work for playboy millionaire Clark Devlin : Never touch Devlin's prized tuxedo. But when Devlin is temporarily put out of commission in an explosive accident, Jimmy puts on the tux and soon discovers that this extraordinary suit may be more black belt than black tie.

Python Hyena 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
Shopaholic35 How can you not love any movie with Jackie Chan in it. He has so much charisma and is so endearing. OK so maybe this is not one of his best movies but I did find Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt working together adorable.The movie was kooky, zany, ridiculous and a lot of fun all at the same time. It was something different, if not completely original but it felt fresh nonetheless. I would have no problem watching this again if it came on TV and I wanted to be entertained without having to worry about real world dramas. So throw your cares out the window and give The Tuxedo a chance to charm you.
daworldismine the tuxedo is an action comedy starring jackie chan yes, but anybody expecting an action packed stunt fest like his other movies are going to be dissopionted, as there isn't much action at all, and what few stunts there are, are all wire work and cgi. and while there are a couple of laughs here and there, and a couple of fight scenes, that show chan in a good light, but you have got to suffer through the cgi infested action scenes, and poor gags. now don't get me wrong jackie chan is his usaul charming self, and still raises a few giggles, but hes really restricted here. the kids might like it though, and it is worth a watch one time, but jackie chan has been in much better, even in his other American movies,
I_John_Barrymore_I Strangely, it's the moments before and after the eponymous tuxedo appears where the film is most successful. The first act is hugely enjoyable in fact; consistently laugh-out-loud funny. Jason Isaacs makes a strong impression as the Bond-like secret agent who employs Jackie Chan as his driver. In fact, he bears a strong resemblance to how Ian Fleming imagined Bond in the novels and seeing him in such a role makes you wonder if he wouldn't have been a good choice for the role after Pierce Brosnan left.But I digress. Once Chan slips on Isaacs' super-tux things get very silly, but not in a good way. It seems to be aimed squarely at the younger crowd, yet there is a nasty level of detail in a couple of horror moments that are probably unsuitable for young kiddies.The special effects are poor but not too distracting, the performances are about right for the target audience but adults may find them grating. Jennifer Love Hewitt does the best work, throwing herself into her role with aplomb, even if at times it appears she's trying too hard. Her chemistry with Chan is adequate - again, you have to bear in mind this is a kid's film - although Chan lacks his usual charm.In short it's not as dreadful as you may have heard. Kids won't think it's the best film they've ever seen, but will probably enjoy it even if they find the plot challenging, but that's about all it has going for it.
