Goofs
Washburn opens the valve on a tank of Nitrous Oxide, saying that they can't fire at them because the "flammable" gas will explode. Nitrous Oxide is not flammable but it is an oxidizer. If you lit a match in a room full of N2O the flame would glow brighter than usual but there would be no explosion.

Quotes
Washburn's Mom: Andy is not a really a strong driver. See, he had a really bad experience when he had his first driving lesson. So...
Washburn: Driving lesson? You call that a driving lesson?
Washburn's Mom: Yes!
Washburn: Dad let go of the wheel and said "You better steer or you're gonna kill the whole family".
Washburn's Mom: Yeah! It's good for you.
Washburn: We where going 90, I was six!
Washburn's Mom: That's right! And that's the way he taught you to swim!
Washburn: I can't swim either!

Well substance shouldn't be expected

You know going in to this one that its just for the laughs. I really enjoyed "Taxi". They were in the garage with the nitrous, I almost came out of my seat laughing so hard. The actually taxi cab is better eye candy than the three model/bank robbers. I thought the new idea of how to get the money without being caught was clever. I also liked that Jimmy Fallon thought Jen Espositos character was madly in love with him. While she totally blew him off. Queen Latifah I always like,she gives it attitude w/a lil ummph. The music had you jumping,exciting to see what was coming up. The action was good because it wasn't overdone. The dialogue I thought was well balanced. I am not a fan of when they talk to much before something happens. If you like SNL you'll be the type wanting to see "taxi" over & over & over.

There wasn't much to ponder in the movie. Ahhh, who cares?? It was an excellent time. One I think you should share with a group of friends, then laugh over dinner.
