REVIEWED - TAXI: Fair dues to everybody involved with Taxi. It takes a special talent to make something so torpid out of a project in which a posse of Brazilian supermodels robs banks in stilettos in between car chases with Queen Latifah, writes Donald Clarke.
Some idiot from Saturday Night Live plays a New York police officer who can't drive very well. Her Majesty plays a cabbie with an attitude. When they meet, wow, laughter takes a front seat and fun climbs in the back. It's the hairiest, scariest, something-elsiest adventure to hit your screens since And so on.
Actually there are a few funny moments, courtesy of the always game Ann-Margret, who turns up as the idiot's Mom. Constantly cradling a blender full of some potent tropical drink, Mrs Twit remains spectacularly pie-eyed throughout the whole picture. Lucky her.
