Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Leofwine_draca TAXI! TAXI! is a broad comedy from Singapore about the misadventures of a couple of taxi drivers and the family commitments to which they find themselves tied. It's a big step down in quality from the last Singapore film I watched, the excellent drama ILO ILO, and for a comedy film I have to say that I didn't laugh once. If you like exaggerated laughs and a brattish kid crying and screaming throughout then perhaps this is the film for you.Me, I wasn't convinced. None of the characters ring particularly true and unlike, say, Cantonese humour, I found that the laughs didn't translate well to the west. They seem very obvious and unfunny to me. The main character is a sad sack who failed in his previous career as a scientist so who is forced to make ends meet as a taxi driver; this gives him a bitter personality. Eventually he sees the error of his ways when he befriends a rival driver. A lot of the humour is based around language barriers and the like, but as I said, it's not really for me.
