Clothes make the superspy in this high-energy action comedy. Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) is a well-meaning but clumsy New York City cab driver who is tapped by Steena (Debi Mazar), associate to multi-millionaire Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs), for a new job as Devlin's personal limo driver. After a mysterious accident lands Devlin in the hospital, Tong learns that his new boss has a secret -- when he's not wheeling and dealing in high finance, Devlin is also a secret agent for the CSA, a top-level security agency. The secret to Devlin's success as a spy is his trademark tuxedo, a suit which is loaded with special gadgets which turns him into a high-tech fighting machine. After Tong dons the tuxedo and is transformed into a martial arts master, he takes over for Devlin and discovers that the agent's injuries didn't happen by accident. As Tong tries to chase down a handful of international super-villains bent on world conquest, he has to deal with Devlin's new partner, Del Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt), a CSA rookie who is just as baffled by her new assignment as Tong. The Tuxedo marked the feature-film debut for director Kevin Donovan, who had previously won international acclaim for his work in television commercials. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    The movie is fun, up tempo and has you feeling for Jackie's character. There are always 2 plots to JC's movies. In this one, it is the power of the tux bringing a man out of his shell with the help of his friends. He makes his friends after a 'misunderstanding'. I never would have thought that Jennifer Love Hewitt could pull off a role as an action hero. She does an excellent job. To be honest, I would like to see her in more of these types of roles. She plays a strong female role model well. This is an action comedy spy thriller fantasy (A tux makes the man). My rating of 4 stars is based on fight movies. For me, for is a must see, anything higher is a definite buy for your collection. I bought this after seeing it in the theater on first run.
