Taxi (2004) (PG-13) An inept cop suddenly gets a new partner in the person of a cabbie with attitude in this high-rolling comedy. Washburn (Jimmy Fallon) is a police officer who becomes the laughingstock of the department after a series of traffic accidents cause him to lose his driver's license. One day, Washburn gets an urgent call to head out to the location of a bank robbery; unable to drive himself there, he hails a cab. As it happens, the taxi is being driven by Belle (Queen Latifah), a single mom who, after making a name for herself as the fastest pizza delivery person in New York, has moved up to driving a hack. What begins as a wild ride to the scene of the crime gets even wilder as Washburn and Belle become unexpected allies while following the trail of a team of beautiful but reckless female bank robbers led by Vanessa (Gisele Bundchen). Adapted from a popular French action comedy with the same name, Taxi was Jimmy Fallon's first big-screen vehicle after leaving the cast of the popular sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide : Queen Latifah Belle Jimmy Fallon Washburn GQ - Stopwatch Messenger Amanda Anka - Officer Joe Lisi - Mr. Scalia Ingrid Vandebosch - Third Robber Ana Cristina De Oliveira - Redhead Sixto Ramos - Twitchy Dealer Bryna Weiss - Mrs. Scalia Mario Roberts - Third Dealer Nashawn Kearse - Cop in Harlem Henry Simmons - Rick Overton - Man at Taxi Commission Earl Schuman - Old Janitor Patton Oswalt - Clerk at Impound Office Louise Lemoine Torres - Sweaty Dealer Christian Kane - Agent Mullins Riley G.
