Cabbie-turned-chauffeur Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) learns there is really only one rule when you work for playboy millionaire Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs) : Never touch Devlin's prized tuxedo. But when Devlin is temporarily put out of commission in an explosive accident, Jimmy puts on the tux and soon discovers that this extraordinary suit may be more black belt than black tie. Paired with a partner (Jennifer Love Hewitt) as inexperienced as he is, Jimmy becomes an unwitting secret agent.

Critics Consensus

Chan is as charming as ever, but his talents are squandered by special effects and bad writing.

But none of those films has been an outright stinker. The Tuxedo is.

Chan often looks as tired as the script, and as bored as the viewing audience.

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker? Great. Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson? Cool. Jackie Chan and... Jennifer Love Hewitt? What the f**k?

The Tuxedo is sort of like a film that might have been made from a song by Burt Bacharach; its central conceit is odd, implausible, even a bit silly, but one can hardly begrudge it those elements when the thing plays so beautifully.

I think this has got to be one of the best 2000's era American Chan movies . Huge points for enjoyability just on the camp factor alone. The comedic timing and substance are excellent for those with the mindset for it.

Jimmy Tong é apenas um motorista simples e atrapalhado, contratado para dirigir para o sofisticado agente secreto Clark Devlin. Mas tudo muda quando Clark sofre um atentado e entra em coma. Sem querer, Jimmy acaba vestindo o lendário "terno de dois bilhões de dólares", uma roupa tecnológica experimental capaz de transformar qualquer pessoa em praticamente um superagente. O traje possui inteligência artificial, habilidades de combate, reflexos sobre-humanos e gadgets futuristas que lembram uma versão cômica do traje do Iron Man. Ao lado da agente Del Blaine, Jimmy acaba entrando numa missão internacional cheia de perseguições, lutas e confusões típicas do universo de Jackie Chan. Nota final: 8 / 10

It deserved a higher rating. Besides having Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt at their peak, the movie is genuinely entertaining. At least for me, I like it a lot.
