The Tuxedo, starring Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt, is a quirky blend of martial arts and spy spoof comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Directed by Kevin Donovan, the film follows Jimmy Tong (Chan), a humble chauffeur who stumbles into the world of high-tech espionage after his secret-agent boss falls into a coma. The key? A futuristic tuxedo that grants him incredible fighting and agility skills when worn.

The concept is fun and uniquely suited to Jackie Chan’s talents. The tuxedo becomes a gadget that mirrors James Bond’s world but is played for laughs. Chan, as always, delivers on the action front with his signature stunts and physical comedy. His charm holds the film together, even when the script feels flimsy.

Jennifer Love Hewitt plays the sharp, uptight partner Del Blaine, creating a humorous odd-couple dynamic with Chan. The chemistry is decent, but the dialogue is often predictable and the villain, played by Ritchie Coster, feels more cartoonish than threatening.

What lets the film down is its uneven pacing and lack of strong writing. While the action is lively and the gadgets are amusing, the story fails to maintain tension or depth. However, The Tuxedo knows its audience—those looking for light entertainment, fun fights, and a bit of slapstick with sci-fi flair.

In summary, The Tuxedo is not Jackie Chan’s best, but it delivers just enough goofy charm and slick action to be worth a casual watch.
