 "Terrible."
-- Victoria Alexander, FILMSINREVIEW.COM
"Sadly, Hewitt's forte is leaning forward while wearing low-cut gowns, not making snappy comebacks."
-- Jason Anderson, EYE WEEKLY
 "I found myself enjoying it more than I should have."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"The waterlogged script plumbs uncharted depths of stupidity, incoherence and sub-sophomoric sexual banter."
-- Todd Anthony, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
"This ill-fitting Tuxedo is strictly off-the-rack."
-- Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"This Tuxedo ... should have been sent back to the tailor for some major alterations."
-- Bob Bloom, JOURNAL AND COURIER (LAFAYETTE, IN)
"The techno tux is good for a few laughs, as are Chan and Hewitt, but when such a good design turns out to be a cheap knockoff, we can't recommend anything but a rental for The Tuxedo."
-- Ross Brooks, CITYSEARCH
"The Tuxedo miscalculates badly by forcing the star to play second fiddle to the dull effects that allow the suit to come to life."
-- Matt Brunson, CREATIVE LOAFING
"It's difficult to say whether The Tuxedo is more boring or embarrassing--I'm prepared to call it a draw."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
"Newcomer helmer Kevin Donovan is hamstrung by a badly handled screenplay of what is really an amusing concept – a high-tech tux that transforms its wearer into a superman."
-- Robin Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"Nothing about it fits."
-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)
"This is not a Jackie Chan movie. It’s just a movie that happens to have Jackie Chan in it. And that makes all the difference."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"What you expect is just what you get...assuming the bar of expectations hasn't been raised above sixth-grade height."
-- Spyder Darling, NY ROCK

"Tailored to entertain!"
-- Ross Anthony, HOLLYWOOD REPORT CARD
"Downright transparent is the script's endless assault of embarrassingly ham-fisted sex jokes that reek of a script rewrite designed to garner the film a "cooler" PG-13 rating."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"Taken as a whole, The Tuxedo doesn’t add up to a whole lot."
-- Josef Braun, VUE WEEKLY (EDMONTON, CANADA)
"...after you see just exactly where ‘clear mountain water’ comes from, you may take up orange juice."
-- Luanne Brown, CHICO ENTERPRISE-RECORD
"Chan's stunts are limited and so embellished by editing that there's really not much of a sense of action or even action-comedy."
-- Nick Carter, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
"It’s absolutely amazing how first-time director Kevin Donovan managed to find something new to add to the canon of Chan. Make Chan’s action sequences boring."
-- Erik Childress, EFILMCRITIC.COM
""The Tuxedo" should have been the vehicle for Chan that "The Mask" was for Jim Carrey. Alas, it's the man that makes the clothes."
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"The Tuxedo wasn't just bad; it was, as my friend David Cross would call it, 'Hungry-Man portions of bad'."
-- Rose 'Bams' Cooper, 3BLACKCHICKS REVIEW
"It concentrates far too much on the awkward interplay and utter lack of chemistry between Chan and Hewitt."
-- Criminy Pete, CRIMINYPETE.COM
"Jackie Chan movies are a guilty pleasure - he's easy to like and always leaves us laughing."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM

Avg. Rating: 4.8/10 |
"During The Tuxedo's 90 minutes of screen time, there isn't one true 'Chan moment'."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"Donovan ... squanders his main asset, Jackie Chan, and fumbles the vital action sequences."
-- Ray Conlogue, GLOBE AND MAIL
"It all adds up to good fun."
-- Jonathan Curiel, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"This overproduced and generally disappointing effort isn't likely to rouse the Rush Hour crowd."
-- Robert Denerstein, DENVER ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS
"The movie is silly beyond comprehension, and even if it weren't silly, it would still be beyond comprehension."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Why would anyone cast the magnificent Jackie Chan in a movie full of stunt doubles and special effects?"
-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
"A mechanical action-comedy whose seeming purpose is to market the charismatic Jackie Chan to even younger audiences."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"This movie is about the worst thing Chan has done in the United States."
-- Desson Howe, WASHINGTON POST
"If The Tuxedo actually were a suit, it would fit Chan like a $99 bargain-basement special."
-- Peter Howell, TORONTO STAR
"It's drab. It's uninteresting. It squanders Chan's uniqueness; it could even be said to squander Jennifer Love Hewitt!"
-- Stephen Hunter, WASHINGTON POST

"The redeeming feature of Chan's films has always been the action, but the stunts in The Tuxedo seem tired and, what's worse, routine."
-- Daniel Eagan, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
