Critics Consensus

Silly and unfunny remake of a French movie of the same name.

I expected this to be much funnier: Latifah coasts on her charm, and Fallon seems incapable of playing an actual character.

It would take a tankerload of laughing gas to pump some humour into this flat-tyred fiasco.

Rotten Tomatoes, hang up ur evaluation credentials. Do u ever put urself in the viewers' shoes? Lighthearted isn't in ur vocabulary. Nor is humor! The chase scenes wit Queen Latina are priceless. Oh, wait, no sex! Sure there are slow periods but the rest of it is a funny family show!

The fundamental problem with foreign film adaptations is the casting of the actors, which is most often a disaster. Taxi is no exception to the rule; it's not the actors' fault, but it becomes so when the chemistry between them doesn't work. Moreover, no one is credible for a single second in their role, even in situations that are supposed to be funny by nature.

Queen Latifah is pathetic in this flat-tyred vehicle partnered with an appalling Jimmy Fallon who is as funny now as he was in 2004. One of the worst movies ever made.
