Might as Well Throw in Some T&A - Oh, Wait...
So, it looks like Taxi - one of the few decent French action/comedy films ever made - is being "treated" to an American remake. That much I already knew.
What I didn't know is that the taxi driver would be Queen Latifah. I'm sure the male (and/or French-culture) chauvinists will have something to say about the very masculine main role being taken by a woman. (Though she is pretty kick-ass, despite some recent blah movie roles.)
Or maybe not. The chauvinists - and myself - will probably be very distracted by the supermodel bank-robbers. Yum. That's almost - almost - enough to forget that Jimmy Fallon is co-starring. (And I'd say it's pretty telling that I know enough to say that - despite his star rising well after my move to France.)
