Cabbie-turned-chauffeur Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) learns there is really only one rule when you work for playboy millionaire Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs) : 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. Paired with a partner (Jennifer Love Hewitt) as inexperienced as he is, Jimmy becomes an unwitting secret agent.

Critics Consensus

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

A cute idea, miserably executed.

But none of those films has been an outright stinker. The Tuxedo is.

Cinema Crazed

Chan often looks as tired as the script, and as bored as the viewing audience.

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker? Great. Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson? Cool. Jackie Chan and... Jennifer Love Hewitt? What the f**k?

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.

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.

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.

It's kind of bad but it entertains me. I cringe laugh through most of it, but the desiccation effects are surprisingly cool.
