halcyonyears This movie is the poop standard for bad movies. In fact I've frequently referred to it as one of the worst movies of all time. Bad acting from bad actors telling bad jokes with an even worse plot and then some. Now if I were a movie critic I would say something like, "I would 'steer' clear of this movie." Because every movie critic has to start their critique of how bad the plot is by writing the worst pun they can think of.. OK I'll just say this "This movie is awful."and a couple more lines to pass the IMDb standard for reviews... which is kind of a joke anyways because 5 of my friends and I got up in the theater and walked out because we'd rather walk around town than watch the rest of this movie (I ended up finishing it later on DVD, which I regretted immediately.. sad story, back then I thought I had to watch movies to the end..). Anyways, so IMDb makes you write 10 lines, but their "weighted average" on movie titles are so far removed from what the public thinks about them it's sad.. but here you go, I wrote your 10 lines so accept my review now. sorry for anyone else who kept reading this review. I just wanted to warn people to stay away from it..

Scarecrow-88 Preposterous critical flop (considered one of the most blasted films of its year, although it somehow was a financial success regardless) has a cop (who can't drive!) having to join forces with a heavily-ticketed taxi driver (moving up from bicycle courier) to stop supermodels robbing banks in tricked-up BMWs throughout the city.This is so desperate for laughs, Queen Latifa plays keep-away with Fallon's badge, with uniformed cops showing up to the unlucky cop's humiliation! Jimmy Fallon is a funny comedian with the right material and Latifa has plenty of screen presence and likability to spare, but, for whatever reason, this film was a disaster that served neither of them well. The laughable James Bond taxi cab that has buttons on a console allowing her to add a Nascar speed (the steering wheel comes off and the car transforms into a "taxi supercar"), with Latifa flying through traffic with relative ease, and Fallon, despite all of his incompetency and ineptitude (while performing on and off duty) as a cop his peers ridicule and find a laughingstock. While Jennifer Esposito looks foxy in tight "precinct office-ware", why she continues to tolerate Fallon's bumbling idiocy (she yells at him as bosses did towards Dirty Harry Callahan, but at least Eastwood's San Francisco detective was just protecting himself against street scum, not always leaving behind wreckage and costing the city thousands for fumbling the ball) is all part of the "strain your disbelief" expectations this comedy demands from us. Gisele Bündchen (now primarily known as Mrs. Tom Brady) is the ringleader of her supermodel bank-robbing gang (again, further evidence of how hysterically ridiculous this movie is to ring out the laughs from wherever it is possible to get them). Most of the car chase parts of the film concern Latifa pursuing Bündchen, taxi supercar vs. tranquilized BMW; you'd think these two were experienced stunt drivers speeding through heavily protected obstacle courses meant to persuade us that they are blessed with the gift to avoid certain death and destruction while other cars aren't so lucky…wait, that is the case, isn't it? If you can accept the "credibility strained to the max" plot absurdities, this might just tickle your fancy. There's even a "special" part for Ann-Margret as Fallon's constantly-wasted mother…meant to be funny, this was rather hard for me to watch actually. Embarrassing, really, for Margret as she depends on her margaritas for sustenance (she doesn't cook, but there are plenty of drinks!). Henry Simmons is Latifa's "sensitive hunk", Jesse. The finale where Latifa is driving with Nascar, Jeff Gordon (her idol!) parks up alongside to greet her (nothing like a little product placement, right?) put the icing on the cake.The film opens with Fallon undercover as a Cuban smuggler, getting his partner killed by accident (it was the parrot), with those being set up getting away. Right here is the first of many incidents that shows us that this young man has no reason to carry that shield. It is even hard to sympathize with him because he pulls the shield, stopping cars immediately, causing a ripple effect that leads to a stockpile! Yeah, I can't see why Fallon wouldn't be promoted to where Giancarlo is on the force.

Nick Damian Wow...a movie about an inept cop that has little plot and story development, low performances and some skimpy dressed models.This is a dismal failure on the comedy aspect.There was no funny and no surprise.The entire story was so stupid and flawed that to sit and sit through it without trying to kill yourself is more thought provoking.There is actually 20 seconds of surprise in this movie, and it happens when the models almost get caught with their car - but that's it...20 seconds later, you feel very cheated again.This movie fails.Having not seen the French version, I can't compare it to anything - except what should be something to be able to entertain in itself - and it doesn't do that.

Angelus2 Jimmy Fallon is a cop who cannot drive a car, yet he is in pursuit of bank robbers and finds Queen Latifah, who just happens to be a professional speed racer...And so, the two chase after the hot super-models/thief's.Jimmy Fallon is not the least bit funny, he does the same type of comedy that we have seen in a hundred other comedy cop films...While Latifah is annoying as the gutsy car driver...The script is badly written and the acting is even bad, the only plus aspect of this is Giselle Bundchen, it's her first film, and she looks great, thats what really kept me watching and me, giving this a two...But like Fallon, she is a weak actor with no redeeming qualities.One to avoid.
