Why is the tuxedo rated pg 13
Women are shown in outfits that reveal cleavage, bare shoulders and backs. Men and woman dance together in a couple of scenes. A woman holds two men at gunpoint and forces them to remove their clothes; we see one man in his T-shirt and boxer shorts. There is some sexual innuendo: a man admires a woman and talks about wanting to go on a date with her, a man flirts with a woman and asks her on a date, and a man makes an off-color remark to a woman; also, a man sings "Sex Machine," a woman asks a man, "what else can you do?
A remark is made about a man being gay, and there are a few discussions about the mating habits of bugs. A man drinks some water and he begins to shrivel and dehydrate -- another man tells us that his internal organs are turning to dust. The man falls to the floor with a wrinkled face, collapses in a puff of dust and we see his eyes go white, his suit falls flat on the floor and another man breaks his hand off and into two pieces.
We see a dead man on a table with an autopsy scar on his chest. A bomb explodes sending two men hurtling through the air; one man has a very bloody head wound, he falls unconscious and we see him in the hospital with a bloody bandage on his head.
Two men fight with lots of super-powerful kicks and punches; one man falls onto a metal floor and his face is burned we see smoldering and later a scar , he's then knocked backwards by a glass hitting him in the mouth and we watch him literally shrivel up and die from dehydration. Many men fight with a man and a woman, exchanging many fast and furious kicks and punches.
A man is flipped over a railing, he dangles from a ledge, a man kicks his fingers making him lose his grip, a woman tries to pull him up, but he falls many stories until he grabs on to a pipe and climbs back up.
A woman is grabbed around the throat, she struggles and gets free, but we then see her in a pool, being held underwater. A rope is wrapped around the neck of a man and he fights with several men while being dragged around by the neck; the rope is wrapped around a pipe and through the man's crotch, and the man kicks and punches and flips onto several men.
A woman fights several men using punches, kicks, twirls and bites, and a man fights several men just with his legs, kicking some, twirling some and one is kicked out the window and he falls many stories into a swimming pool where he lands on another man. A man aims a gun loaded with a listening device, shoots and hits a man in the head, the man falls off the side of a ship and into the water; the man shoots the gun again and hits the hairdo of a woman.
Two men dangle from a release valve: one kicks the other in the face repeatedly and one falls to the floor. A man opens his car door and another man on a bike crashes into it, flips over and lands on the street. A man is punched in the face and knocked off his bike by a man dangling from a cord, a man punches a man in the face, a woman kicks a man in the groin, and a man is tasered on the neck.
A man hits and flips a woman through the air and she lands hard on the ground, a man hits and flips a man through the air and he falls to the floor unconscious. The bad guy in this movie may be evil, but he doesn't do nearly as much damage to Jackie Chan as the script does. It's a cute idea, miserably executed. Too much time is spent on everything except what Chan is really good at, and when we finally get down to the fight scenes, they are nowhere near his usual standard, except for one brief moment when, wearing only the tuxedo pants and not the jacket, only his legs "know" how to fight.
The plot is even dumber than most of these things, the attempts at humor are far below average, and there is no spark at all between Chan and Hewitt. The usual outtakes at the end show us one supposedly funny moment that perhaps reveals more of the reason for the lack of chemistry on screen than they intended.
The movie is too gross for kids and too uninteresting for anyone else. Families can talk about the different kinds of courage. Jimmy is very brave about some things but not about others. What are you brave about? What do you find harder to be brave about?
