Summary: Wait for Cable!
Review: The tuxedo is a pointless film about a super tuxedo that gives whoever wears it superpowers. Thats all I can say about the plot of this film. It has something to do with him teaming up with Jennifer Love Hewitt to stop bad guys from getting these bugs to poison the water that is used for bottled water. ... Jackie Chan is a lot of fun to watch, but to try and understand what he says takes a lot of the fun out of watching the movie. Jennifer Love Hewitt, usually very charming and likeable in her other films, comes across as an angry, unlikeable young woman who seems annoyed thoughout the entire film for no reason. The 2 have a few cute scenes together, which saves this film from being a total disaster.

Summary: See what it says on the cover?
Review: It states, "entertaining and fun", which is what it is, bit it is not a good movie. If you need a movie to just sit down and laugh at, not caring about plots, step right up! But if your a critic or want to see a good plot, run! Jackie Chan, being the martial arts wizard that he is, can not fight in this movie but needs the help of a tuxedo. It's not as interesting as his other movies because the sci- fi cyber-like plot adds special effects, and you can't tell what stunts are real or not. The idea may be kind of clever, but just doesn't work out.

Summary: Entertaining, but just.....
Review: a horrible storyline. About some bugs, he11, i have even forgot what it was really about, probably cause i could have cared less, about the stupid story attached to this movie. A tuxedo that had powers, could have had a better story attached to it. The only thing good about this movie is the bloopers, and on the dvd, the blooper reel.

Summary: A Very Fun Movie
Review: I first saw this movie in the cinema, and, I've got to say, really enjoyed it. OK, so the story's not brilliant. But I have seen many movies that have an even poorer plot than this.
This movie is one that has to be taken very lightly. It's fun- and that's what it's meant to be. So if you watch it expecting something like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, you're gonna be pretty disappointed.
Like I said, I really enjoyed this movie. Maybe that's because I don't watch many action movies.
Now for the cast.
In my opinion, Jackie Chan was awful; he can't act to save his life. All he has is a rubbery, Chinese face, that can pull a couple of expressions. I couldn't understand half of what he said. Unlike most people, I thought the Tux actually made his fighting better- definitely more comical. The only reason Jackie was cast as the lead role is 'cos he has a huge audience (me not being one of them), and can kick a few bad-guys in 'style'. Sorry all Jackie Chan fans, but this is my view. But, I will admit, he was one of the best for the part. One of the best.
Jennifer Love Hewitt. Hmmm. Now this is really gonna annoy you, I really liked her. I thought she played her Character (Del Blaine- I think) very well. Yes, there was a bit of her Heartbreakers character in Del (which probably helped), but I though she did well. She pretty much carried the movie from the second she was on screen. Jennifer should have got more fighting scenes. In my opinion, Jennifer Love Hewitt keeps getting better. Anyone agree? Probably not.
I also liked the bad guys. And the real Clark Devlin. I thought they were good (nice accents).Anyway, to sum it all up, this movie is quite enjoyable, especially if you're watching it on a big screen.
I also think it's better than Shanghi Noon (and Knights).

Summary: Say it ain't so! A bad Jackie Chan movie!
Review: Being a huge Jackie Chan fan, it pains me to say that The Tuxedo is probably his worst movie. And the funny thing is, the premise was pretty cool. Jackie is a cabbie-turned-chauffeur who is very shy and basically an average guy. When fate throws him a chance to be a superspy, he dons a top-secret billion dollar tuxedo that gives him the ability to fight, climb up the side of buildings and even dance. I thought the premise of Jackie being a regular guy who could suddenly become a fighting machine wearing this tuxedo was clever. Unfortunately, the lame script and jokes really hurt what could have been a pretty fun movie. Jennifer Love Hewitt's character gave me a headache. She could fight and then she couldn't and many times howling like an idiot seemed to be her way of acting tough. The movie doesn't play to Jackie's strengths either. They may be able to foist hyper quick-cut Hollywood editing on us in action movies, but it's out of place and annoying in a Jackie Chan film. Even Jackie Chan's weaker movies like Mr. Nice Guy had some nice fighting scenes. The plot, which is filled with gigantic holes, about water striders infecting reservoir water supplies is just plain silly. And then the screenwriters seem to write themselves in a corner when lo and behold, another tuxedo magically appears when the original one is stolen. Even the blooper reel that normally accompanies Jackie Chan's movies, seemed interested in just showing us Jennifer Love Hewitt blowing her lines by laughing hysterically all the time. On paper this movie sounded like it could have worked, but on almost all levels (bad script, directing, casting AND dialogue) it's a dud. Even if you're a huge Jackie Chan fan, I'd still suggest leaving The Tuxedo off your list.

Summary: quite horrible....
Review: I'm sorry but this is not a good movie at all.... are you all crazy??? Say it, this movie is disappointing. These american flops will destroy JC's career... Hong Kong movies are worth the money... No special effects, chinese language and one month filming... so what? POLICE STORY, PROJECT A and DRUNKEN MASTER II just to say a few masterpiece of JC. Even CITY HUNTER is much more better than this. And the 2 stars are just for Jackie, because even when the movie is horrible he doesn't lose his coolness and charm. I love u Jackie!

Summary: What an Expensive "Tuxedo"
Review: Evil drinking water! Wow! Jackie Chan plays Jimmy Tong, a goofy cab driver in New York and he just so happens to try on a secret agent's most lethal weapon, a gadget-filled tuxedo! He has to figure out how to save the world from the diabolical water guy from dehydrating people and stop the man from ruining the movie (he's a terrible actor). "The Tuxedo" is pretty awful, but Jackie Chan is comedy, especially when he shakes it fast and watches himself! (Shake it fast, watch yourself, get it?) James Brown cameos and spins in the air a million times before going to sleep. Can this movie get any worse? Yes! Jennifer Love Hewitt plays Tong's partner who is picky with men and doesn't know martial arts even if she watched a ton of kung fu movies. I don't buy it. The transmitting device was stuck on a bad guy's head! Not the briefcase! Comedy! Unfortunately this movie has plenty of noticeable stuntmen doing the crazies instead of Chan. Even the beginning scene tells you the movie is a waste (animal in water, you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it). Almost lordage.

Summary: A 2 BILLION DOLLAR TUX
Review: For me this DVD is good but nothing compared to Rush Hour 2.
The tux is full of accion but needs more comedy. One downside of the movie is that Del Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is way to serious. What my friends and I think is that it needs a big mouth someone like Chris Tucker to lighten up things.The borring part is that most of the movie is at Detrich's house.The person in charge of writing the comical parts and lines was obviously asleep. So if you are looking for accion buy this DVD BUT if you are looking for comedy you can buy it if you want but I would recomend buying Rush hour 2. Now if you are a fan of Jackie Chan and seeking a hi-tech movie this is it.

Summary: Too much of a bad thing!
Review: This was typical Jackie "I'm in the US now so I can stop making decent films" Chan but worse. The plot was silly, and if the directors expect one to believe all the drivel surrounding the suit it needs SOME realism!! The suit was doing stuff Superman couldn't!! add to that the poor acting - the lines were trite and just not funny.Nobody looked natural (except jackie in his usual comic fight scenes...which weren't anything new). Jennifer seemed to be struggling with her Nerd-turn-spy role (but hey she looked pretty decent). The best part of the show was actually probably the NYC cab scene which DIDN'T have the suit involved.My opinion is to rent this...if you're willing to bear the loss for the tape.

Summary: I Hate To Say This, But Hollywood Just Doesn't Understand
Review: As a movie fan living in Japan, there are lots of chances to see his films in his Hong-Kong era on TV since the early 80s, and as a consequence; like many of Japanese fans, I became, and am, a Jackies Chan fan. Now, he is a super-star all over the world, and Spielberg's company Dreamworks approached to him to do a film. It turned out to be "The Tuxedo," which I must say doesn't deserve his name; rather, the film did a huge damage to it. First of all, the film is not an action film. It is a comedy. That is OK as long as it is funny. Well, the fact is, it is not funny at all even though Chan is still engaging and likable. The film's comedy sense is revealed at the opening scene, in which you see a deer standing in a river. See what happens next: urine going down the river. And there are a few action scenes which involve the titular super-techno "Tuxedo," which enables anyone who wears it to do any acrobatic deed. There are many options; you can dance, you can run (as fast as a car) and you can do James Brown impersonation (and JB appears as himself, which is pretty funny). But I wanna ask you; Does Jackie need one while we know that he can jump, kick, and even fly by himself? Do you need obvious CGIs when he can do his own stunts, and still willing to do it? The supporting cast do not work well. Half of the reason I went to see the film is Jenniffer Love Hewitt, but her role as Jackie's partner (or the relation with Jackie's) is just confusing and inadequate. And I really hate myself to say this, but I was irritated by her bumbling character, who constantly shrieks and screams. She should be more lovely, and actually she was in other films or on TV. You also see the face of Debi Mazer (who is sorely wasted), and only Jason Issacs can go unscathed, showing his James Bond-like delightfully "British" character. By the way, the whole story is about the secret agent and some cardboard villains who contemplate some secret plans, and I have no complaint against these elements. It is the way Jackie is used that really is atrocious. Jackie is not Inspector Gadget, and should never be. My tip to Hollywood; don't tinker him. If you want real Jackie, just watch his "Who Am I?" first for once, and see my point.
