DVD Review: Taxi
Mar 3, 2005 - Joanna Kostanecki/Lynn Barker
Synopsis
Belle (Queen Latifah) is one mean bike messenger. She hauls butt all over New York in record time, biking through buildings and leaping across bridges to set a record on her last day. She's quitting the messenger biz and getting her cabbie license. She's been a Nascar fan since babyhood and has tricked out her Ford Crown Victoria taxi with all that stuff they had on the Fast and Furious cars. Being not too patient with Belle's dedication to the cabbie and racecar life is hot boyfriend (Henry Simmons) who can't even get her to come home on time for him to propose.
Colliding with Belle is Detective Washburn (Jimmy Fallon), a cop whose inability to drive without hitting something has cost him his driver's license, taken away by his hot lieutenant (Jennifer Esposito). Busted down in rank and walking the beat, Washburn hears about a bank robbery in progress and decides to take a cab--Belle's cab--to the scene of the crime.
Of course, although Belle is the hottest and fastest driver in town, the all-girl robbers get away and Belle's cab is seized as etavidence. The two decide to team up to solve the case and get Belle's cab back. Of course, the crooks are all super-models led by Leo DiCaprio's galpal Gisele Bundchen, who can't act but has very long legs.
