Overview:
The 1998 French smash gets the Hollywood treatment in this rowdy reworking from Barbershop director Tim Story. With Luc Besson again attached as producer (he also wrote the original), this takes the knockabout stupidity to new levels. Thrown together by fate, useless New York cop Jimmy Fallon and speed-demon taxi driver Queen Latifah try to nab a gang of female Brazilian bank robbers, headed by supermodel Gisele Bundchen. All screeching brakes and no real excitement, this buddy movie is just a series of car chases linked together by tragically unfunny comedy. While Latifah's wannabe racing champion has an easy charm, not to mention all the best lines, Saturday Night Live comedian Fallon's dumb, Pee-wee Herman-style shtick is annoying and tired. But it's the gimmick of leggy lady felons that grates quickest, making this paper-thin farce even more superficial.
