There was a series of dramatic events in the city, followed by the denial of the driver's license of Andy Washburn by his lieutenant who also lowered his rank. A short time later, Andy hears a bank robbery and starts driving a cab driven by Bill, a new taxi. During that dangerous operation, the Bell car was detained, as the thieves had all fled. Andy tries to recover the car for Bill if he helps him catch the escaped thieves.

A laid-back, inoffensive time-waster.October 11, 2004
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.October 08, 2004
[Fallon] doesn't so much act as show up, and his utter lack of personality generates a vacuum that the movie cannot overcome.February 27, 2007
I expected this to be much funnier: Latifah coasts on her charm, and Fallon seems incapable of playing an actual character.October 07, 2004
Goes nowhere fast.March 13, 2005
Taxi is one long car chase, which quickly crashes and burns.May 26, 2006
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.October 30, 2006
Take the bus instead.October 14, 2004
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.December 28, 2010
Think twice before hailing this Taxi.
