'The Tuxedo' is a 2000's action comedy and like most of its brotheren pretty bad. Jackie Chan is the driver for James Bond like secret agent Jason Issacs, who after Issacs is severely injured in the field, ends up in possession of a super-powered tuxedo which he decides to use to complete the mission. This involves teaming with junior agent Jennifer Love Hewitt, who thinks he's Issacs, to stop bottle water magnet Richie Costers plot to poison the world's water supply.
It's pretty awful, very little of this works. Chan's natural charm and material arts skills are there, but the script is a mess and the film never uses Chan's physical abilities to full effect. For some reason it was decided to make Jennifer Love's character rather unlikable. The film is also obsessed with Ms. Hewitt's, in its own words, "nice rack". This is pretty much crap, though Chan has a few moments and Jennifer Love's costume designers understood their assignment. *
