Not that I'm complaining, I watched the three Taxi films out of order and find this is the weakest. This is the film that sets the series in motion, new taxi driver ends up mixed up with a semi-failure cop after he gives the cop's Mom a ride. Its a formula movie with some funny spots but so much time is lost to set up, something the later films didn't need to do. While its not a bad film, it certainly isn't the other films which are much more manic than this one. Try it, but realize the better films come after this one.
