Jimmy Fallon leaves SNL behind for this
terrible, terrible movie. He plays a dumb
cop who loses his license for reckless
driving, then commandeers a taxi with a
speed-hungry driver. (Queen Latifah, in
her worst role yet. No
wait
that
would be her role in Bringin Down the
House.) The daring duo pursues a
legion of hot supermodel bank robbers,
which leads to plenty of shots of their legs
and Fallon looking all bug-eyed. The
action goes under the misconception that
car chases can be hilarious. Passengers
get thrown around in Latifahs backseat,
looking all scared and startled, often
mashing their face into the window that
separates the driver from the passenger.
None of this works to any degree. No
laughs, no excitement, and reason
enough for Fallon to rethink his career
trajectory and get himself back on a
television show. Will surely stand as one
of the years worst films.
