'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.

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.
