Review of The Tuxedo

The Tuxedo (2002)
2/10
Didn't think this could be that bad... but it was.

Embarrassing.

Everything about this film is trite, recycled and dumbed-down to the lowest common denominator. The film begins with a shot of an animal urinating towards the camera, and doesn't get much better from there. Is it that today's filmmakers hold their audiences in such contempt, or are they under some illusion that idiocy and poor taste will somehow "sell" a film such as this?

I realize Jackie's getting too old to engage in some of the spectacular physical stunts he performed a decade or two ago... but age shouldn't (and doesn't) take away any of the his unique charisma and comic ability... it's sad to see him appear in something this awful.
