A surprisingly funny, female-driven romp — as long as you don't question too many plot particulars.

It's loud, it's stupid, yet against all the odds, enjoyable.

Too much of Taxi is just tired.

Director Tim Story's film has two speeds: pedal-to-metal and screeching halt. The former is guaranteed to make the audience carsick, the latter to give it whiplash.

Frivolous but fun, somewhere between a comic "French Connection" and the craziest Nascar race you never saw.

How one likes Taxi has everything to do with how one responds to the hapless cop character, played by Jimmy Fallon.

Riddled with comic potholes.

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

Full of car chases, weak jokes and scenes so meandering they make "Saturday Night Live" look like a paragon of brevity and wit.

I haven't seen the original, but I can vouch for the clumsiness of the new version. As usual, though, Queen Latifah is an indomitable, if sometimes undirectable, comic force.
