Latifah and Fallon have great chemistry together.
So good, in fact, you begin to wonder if they are
not each chasing after, or being chased by, the
wrong person.
He has a girlfriend, or rather a "it is just a matter of
time before she is my girlfriend" and she has a fiance,
or a "I want you to stay being my girlfriend", who has
just financed the purchase of a diamond ring, and that is
way before the wedding ceremony is under way. That
financing, will have to wait. (Fiance, is one 'N' away
from finance.) First, she has to say yes, but in order to
say yes, she has to show up. She is dodging her boy,
and he is chasing his girl: They are distracted.
She drives. She likes to drive, stay in motion. He
hates motion. But if he doesn't learn to drive, how
will he chase? He sits with her, taking notes, writing.
She knows a lot about cars, and he doesn't. But he is
persistent, while those around him want quick results.
Does a cab driver EXPECT to be paid, or does she
HOPE to get paid? Is taxi a noun, or a verb? I taxi U.
The movie is a study in contrast. But of what?
Masculine. Feminine. Dynamic versus Static:
Flowers versus Bees. His name is Washburn:
As in, wash and burn. Water and Fire. Truth and
Love. Blood and Spirit. Red and Blue.
And then there are these super-model bank robbers
who seem as if they would be the last people upon
the earth to worry about staying or going, able to
chase down and capture, or run away, for they
live in the fast lane, and they pose. They can handle
both the Static and the Dynamic...Perhaps, by the
end of the movie, you will find yourselves rooting for
the supermodel bankrobbers instead, while wondering,
Why did they feel they needed to rob banks or drive cars
and fire guns, looking the way they do? For they could
"hire" a private army, have chauffers do their driving, and
get paid, for just being themselves. Why do all that
work when they don't have to? Maybe because they
wanted to break down stereotypes about what
supermodels can and cannot do. Or maybe because
a chauffer expects something in return, and they just
got tired of that. They wanted to feel taxied for a change.

Total Garbage
Added 2/2/2009
I can't think of one thing good about this movie except that it has a couple of hot girls in it. Jimmy Falon was mildly amusing when he would crack up like an idiot on SNL during his skits but he should never be in another movie. He is horrible. Queen Latifah was not funny at all in this and Luc Besson must have needed a pay check. I am a big fan of Besson and he really put out a steamy pile of garbage with this one. Probably his worst movie ever.

I thought this movie was very good, and funny. Queen Latifah played a wondferul part. Jimmy Falllon, I really didn't know his work, so I can't judge him, but if your a Queen Latifah fan, this movie should be in your collection
