Taxi w/ Jimmy Falon, Queen Latifa, Gisele Bundchen
I just got back from seeing the american remake of taxi, originally brought to us by Luc Besson. I've seen Taxi 1, 2, and 3 about 40 or 50 times each and I love them dearly. I'm not sure why America can't make movies like this. Neeways, I sat through the whole thing.
I like the basic storyline. I like the idea of letting American audiences in on this great movie franchise. I don't like the idea of making it more predictable than a Bearenstein Bears book (there's an odd comparison, eh?).
It's single redeeming aspect is as follows: Spoiler: Spoiler: Gisele Bundchen is worth seeing the film in and of herself. She is decent for a model turned first time actress, and has one paticular scene which makes the whole film. She has a scene with Jennifer Esposito where she gives Jennifer a very erotic frisk (feels her up). It looked like Jennifer enjoyed it. I started shaking.
