Oh wow, why? Why?! I don't even know if this warrants a review. It's like Spy Kids 2 meets Jackie Chan meets... severe overproduction. Who, in their right mind, thought this would be a good idea when it was pitched? Seriously.
Jackie Chan,
Jennifer Love Hewitt,
Jason Isaacs,

This movie is about the worst thing Chan has done in the United States.
It's drab. It's uninteresting. It squanders Chan's uniqueness; it could even be said to squander Jennifer Love Hewitt!
For the first time in Chan's glorious career, credits for various fx-oriented skills far outnumber those for stunts and fight choreography, always in the past the beating, thumping heart of every Chan... Full Review
If The Tuxedo actually were a suit, it would fit Chan like a $99 bargain-basement special. Full Review
Some hack makes a beer commercial and winds up trashing Jackie Chan. Full Review
It is a measure of the screenwriters' laziness that Brown's impromptu aside to Chan during the obligatory closing-credits outtakes sequence turns out to be the wittiest one-liner in the whole picture. Full Review
