Washburn (Jimmy Fallon) has had some issues with driving, which is a problem, being a police officer, and it’s really a problem now because he’s got a lead on a robbery, but he needs a vehicle to follow them, since they are really good drivers.

That leaves him in a pinch, because he’s lost his driving privilege due to his problems, so he does what anyone in his situation will do – he takes a cab. He picks a good one. The driver, Belle (Queen Latifah) has issues of her own, but hers of an entirely different sort. She drives too fast, but she’s actually good at it.

What’s even better (for Washburn) is that Belle’s cab has the ability to morph into a sort of super-cab, with built-in racing jacks and turbo engine and I don’t even know how to describe everything else, and she’s got the chops to keep up with these women burglars who Washburn is investigating.

Now if she can just convince her boyfriend that she’s with Washburn because it’s a police investigation, and not some sort of strange dating ritual, she’ll be okay.

Actually, there are some lighthearted moments in the movie, and if there’s nothing else on, I might watch it again, but I probably wouldn’t spend too much effort trying to get this on DVD or anything else just to see it. It just isn’t that good.

Rated PG-13 for language, sensuality and brief violence.
