Amazon.co.uk Review

Jackie Chan looks spiffy in The Tuxedo, but the movie needs a tailor. No Jackie Chan movie could be a total misfire, however, and he's charmingly self-effacing here as a hapless chauffeur who inadvertently replaces his injured super-agent boss (Jason Issacs) and foils a madman (Ritchie Coster) who plans to infect the world's water supply and reap a fortune selling pure bottled water. Jackie's a bumbling superhero after donning his boss's high-tech, Inspector Gadget-like tuxedo (it even has a "Mambo" setting), and curvaceous co-agent Jennifer Love Hewitt coaches him in crime fighting while closing in on the bad guys. It's all as routinely ridiculous as it sounds--Jackie's faux James Brown act is the only real highlight--and as critic Roger Ebert observed, the climax hinges on an insect queen that doesn't exist in nature! So, while Jackie and Jennifer provide a few moments of stellar stunts and random amusement, you can blame this mess on screenwriters who didn't do their homework. --Jeff Shannon

DVD Description

This side-splitting film about a fast-driving chauffeur who unwittingly becomes a secret agent when he puts on a state-of-the-art tuxedo, showcases Chan doing the kind of moves that have delighted his fans for years. A comedy partnership is tailor-made when international action star Jackie Chan joins forces with the glamorous Jennifer Love Hewitt as they battle against evil villains in a dangerous world of international espionage. The main character is a super tux, made by world-renowned Giorgio Armani, that includes amazing in-built gadgetry enabling the wearer to run faster, perform martial arts, woo women and sing and dance better than anyone else. When Jimmy Tong (Chan) slips it on, the formal world of black tie is transformed into comedy mayhem as the tux takes control.

With a cameo performance from the Godfather of Soul James Brown, who Chan has to replace on stage after accidentally knocking him out, The Tuxedo provides entertainment for not only kung fu fans, but also for lovers of slap stick comedy, music, dance and secret service dramas.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wasted Talent, 25 Aug 2004
By Ms. H. Topliss "Dr Morbius" (Burton On Trent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dear Fans of Jackie Chan,
Only buy if you want to complete your collection. Jackie is sadly let down by a poor script, bad acting from his co star Hewitt and a lack-lustre bad guy, and I cant help feeling that Issacs and Coster should have changed roles, although if anyone has seen Stormare in 8MM perhaps he would have made a badder baddie??
Dear Fans of Jason Issacs
Only buy if you are a die hard fan. He is only in the first half an hour and last 5 minutes. He appears to be the only character who has a bit more depth, and gives Clark Devlin the spark of interest which is sadly lacking in his fellow actors. He looks like he is enjoying his time on screen with Chan though, and who can blame him.
Ver smooth, and very sexy, Next James Bond, He has to be a contender surely!

1.0 out of 5 stars Sloppy and boring, 31 Aug 2003
Jackie Chan has now become a household name, and rightly so. But he gained his legendary status far more from his early work than he has from anything he has done with Hollywood. The Tuxedo is a perfect example of this. It has a poor plot, which cannot even be laughed off like most bad plots. The action sequences are fair, but few and far between.

If you wish to see an incredible movie, watch drunken master or snake in eagle's shadow, but do not waste money on this pathetic film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Jackie Chan classic, 29 July 2003
James Bond meet your equal, this time, it is the clothes that make the man. As Jackie all to soon finds out.
A normal cab driver extremely good at his job tho, gets hired as a driver for a superspy.
They get along fine, until they're attacked and the spy is injured, and asks Jackie to take over whilst he recovers. All he needs to do is put on the TUX and everything will go fine.
Jackie is put on a case involving a master criminal preparing to monopolize all the bottled water ( why not? ).

Accompanied by rookie agent Jennifer Love Hewitt, they set out to crack the case.
Nowhere near the quality of Rush Hour, but still a great flic none the less. As this film has everything, but most especially laughs and fights ( all laden with the unique Jackie Chan moves ).
DVD extra's are what you can expect:
"The Cutting Room Floor" with 9 deleted scenes, 3 extended scenes, and outtakes and bloopers (basically it's Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt giggling helplessly throughout the entire movie!); "HBO First Look: Tailor Made for Jackie Chan" featurette; theatrical trailer; cast; filmmakers; and production notes.
A worthwhile buy if you're a Jackie Chan fan, otherwise i'd just rent it once at my local videostore.
