Critics Consensus

Chan is as charming as ever, but his talents are squandered by special effects and bad writing.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media A cute idea, miserably executed. Rated: 2/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 1/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com But none of those films has been an outright stinker. The Tuxedo is. Rated: 1/4 Jun 19, 2003 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Chan often looks as tired as the script, and as bored as the viewing audience. Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker? Great. Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson? Cool. Jackie Chan and... Jennifer Love Hewitt? What the f**k? Rated: 2/4 Dec 28, 2008 Full Review Todd Gilchrist IGN Movies The Tuxedo is sort of like a film that might have been made from a song by Burt Bacharach; its central conceit is odd, implausible, even a bit silly, but one can hardly begrudge it those elements when the thing plays so beautifully.

Chadrack E This another film with Jackie Chan was great. It was better than Kung Fu Pow 2002 film. Jackie Chan is a genius but he is really good at playing an action loveable goofy bumbling hero. Jennifer Love Hewitt always beautiful and great. Jackie is a great action star, physical comedian with some slapstick sense of humour and martial arts stuntman. Also this film reminds me of Jim Carrey the Mask. So I don't know if Jackie wanted to make kind of similar film to Jim Carrey. Since they both are funny and they are both goofy living cartoon guys in real world. But I liked Jackie's performances he learn how to action and comedy really well in here and other films. I don't care what people say about this film. This film is incredible and it is much better than the protector 1985 film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Nero Z One of my all time favourites of Jackie Chan, I've watched so many times 👍🏻 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review devon w watching it now i realize it wasn't that good. at first it seemed like a children's movie, but the occasional adult joke made it seemed like the movie didn't know if it wanted to be a children's movie or a pg-13 comedy. the original idea would have been great, and jackie chan would have made it even better. but in the end, it turned into a corny movie that had some really bad writing with even worse jokes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review twitchy b It's kind of bad but it entertains me. I cringe laugh through most of it, but the desiccation effects are surprisingly cool. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Spikecat Jackie Chan being the man he is. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review letaiser This Movie was not really good I mean at some points it kind of had funny Moments but it was just way to basic and Sexualized "lets do another Movie with Jackie chan where he is an agent does good fighting and has to save the world " exactly the same concept like in Rush hour but it was very bad ,the villain had no context and had a very stupid weapon ( I say) Jackie Chan s partner was annoying ,the rest was alright Spoiler: the death of the villain was very extreme haha... and the rest was actually alright this is why it has 2 stars I mean it had decent action ,some decent jokes and actually a cast which is alright and even if it was every time the same fight concept ,the fights were still very good and mostly even funny. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
