What Parents Need to Know

About The Tuxedo

Parents need to know that this movie has crude humor and gross violence. There are some vulgar sexual references. Characters drink and smoke (there is an anti-smoking joke). Del uses her cleavage to get past a security guard, and both spies pretend to romance people to find out what they are hiding.

    So Boring...

    I decided to rent this movie on a late Saturday night when I had nothing else to do. I'd seen some other Jackie Chan movies and they weren't that bad. So I thought I might like this one. BIG mistake. This was one of the worst movies with the worst actors that I've seen. Don't go see it.

    Offensive to women!

    A woman uses her body more than once to get what she wants (information and entrance to the party). This is just sad.

    Different spin on old theme

    Reminded me of "Get Smart". Simple movie by Jackie Chan.
