San Francisco Chronicle | Jonathan CurielAdd Critic to Favorites

Marks Chan's full arrival as an actor. Take away the violence - - and there's plenty of it for those who crave Chan's physical pyrotechnics -- and he's still an immense pleasure to watch onscreen.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

The jokes are as fresh as rotten eggs and the direction stoops to the occasion.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Kenneth TuranAdd Critic to Favorites

Chan is still able to project the boyishness and insecurity of the new kid on the block. But even those aren't enough to make Tuxedo a black-tie affair.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Lisa SchwarzbaumAdd Critic to Favorites

Chan needs a foil, and Hewitt, while perky, doesn't project nearly enough comedy weight; she's too slight and tailored for his style.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

You know you're in trouble when 50% of the running length is devoted to plot exposition, and the movie still doesn't make any sense.Read the full review

The New York Times | A.O. ScottAdd Critic to Favorites

May have been tailored just for Mr. Chan, but it still feels like off-the-rack garb. And by now, Mr. Chan deserves much better than a hand-me-down suit that smells like a rental.Read the full review

Variety | Robert KoehlerAdd Critic to Favorites

This bad idea is then underlined by pallid direction from tyro helmer and TV ad vet Kevin Donovan, a virtually incomprehensible plot line and a less-than-satisfying co-starring turn from Jennifer Love Hewitt.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

The movie is silly beyond comprehension, and even if it weren't silly, it would still be beyond comprehension.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Nathan RabinAdd Critic to Favorites

A frenetic, busy, expensive machine that looks good but runs on autopilot.Read the full review

Washington Post | Desson ThomsonAdd Critic to Favorites

This movie is about the worst thing Chan has done in the United States.Read the full review
