'Fantastic Four' of a Kindnew

Although it tries mightily to top 2005's origin story by introducing fanboy favorite the Silver Surfer, this film is nevertheless relentlessly dull and curiously bombastic.

Not-So-Fantastic Fournew

The entire picture is a vulgar parade of hackwork FX, extreme sports, potty humor, bad WJRR rock and cheesecake shots.

Hollywood Product: Buddy Comedy Deserves Traffic Ticketnew

As both a big-screen funnyman and a police officer, Jimmy Fallon comes across like a Gen Z Jerry Lewis. Queen Latifah emerges with her sexy confidence intact, but Taxi runs down so many buddy-flick cliches that it deserves a traffic ticket for a movie violation.
