Following several disasters, the driver's license of Andy Washburn was rejected by his lieutenant who dropped his rank because of those accidents. By chance, Andy hears about a bank robbery, decides to drive a cab driven by Bill, a new taxi. During this dangerous operation, Bell's car was detained for the return of the escaped thieves. Andy is required to restore the car to Bill if he helps him capture the thieves again.
Taxi is one of those madcap comedies where they show all those wacky bloopers during the closing credits to show you how much fun everyone had on the set. Maybe that's because they were in denial.
The glitch, beyond the rote story, is that while she's an infectiously upbeat screen presence, Latifah is not, inherently, a major laugh generator, and neither, it would appear, is Fallon.
While Taxi is certainly full of faults that would be hard for most good actors to overcome, Fallon provides the fatal blow himself by being the least interesting part of a pretty paltry movie.
