Jimmy Fallon gets his first starring role with TAXI, an
action-packed comedy that finds the former Saturday Night
Live showman teaming up with Oscar-nominated
rapper-turned-actress Queen Latifah (CHICAGO). Fallon is
Washburn, a truly pathetic New York City cop who can't
seem to wake up in the morning without bumbling busts and
breaking whatever he touches.
After his most recent debacle, his boss and former flame,
Lieutenant Marta Robbins (Jennifer Esposito), revoked his
license. Latifah is Belle, a retired bike messenger who is
about to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a bona fide
cab driver. When Fallon commandeers Belle's services after
hearing of a nearby bank robbery, a partnership is formed.
Unfortunately, even when he means well, Washburn is
nothing but trouble. Against her better judgment, Belle
finds herself doing what she can to help out the pitiful
Washburn, even though the bank robbers (led by supermodel
Gisele Bundchen) are several steps ahead of the game.
Produced by Luc Besson, who wrote the 1998 film upon which
Tim Story's film is based, TAXI is an engaging romp that
features likeable performances from its lead actors, as
well as hilarious supporting turns from Ann-Margret and
Adrian Martinez!!
