TAXI is a complete turkey

At least it is until about 45-50 minutes into the movie. If it gets better beyond that point, I don’t know, because that was when Izzybella and I looked at each other and mutually decided to leave.

To be fair, she might have been more willing to stick it out had there not been a brat behind her kicking the seat. Before the movie started, when the kicking did, she (1) politely asked them to stop; (2) less politely asked them to stop; and then (3) forcefully told them that if they wanted her to be a mean grown-up and get someone, she would. The kicking stopped until after the movie started, at which point the brat gave her seat three kicks at rhythmic intervals.

However, based on the first 45-50 minutes of Taxi, I would be amazed if someone were to tell me that it improved. Blecch! What a waste of money!!

I feel like writing Jimmy Fallon and asking for a refund of my money ($16 for two tickets) and my time (approximately 1 hour each for Izzybella and me).

The original French version is good. Give it a try.

I hear the best part of the movie is shown in the trailer, where the taxi transforms into a hot-roddin’ street machine. The rest of it, you can toss.

I went to see my g/f this weekend, and she lives out in the boonies and hadn’t seen a movie for quite a few months. She wanted to see ANY movie… There really wasn’t anything we were excited to see, but we finally decided that Taxi would probably have at least a bit of humor in it, and my g/f likes Queen Latifa…

After the movie was over, we were both suprised that it was better than we had expected. Nothing we’d pay to see a 2nd time, but with us only paying the matinee price, it was ok…

I’d give it 2 1/2 stars…
