Most of the time, Jennifer Armstrong is indulging her TiVo habit, watching and rewatching ''Alias,'' ''The O.C.,'' and ''Newlyweds.'' The rest of the time, she's writing about TV for EW
The premise of The Tuxedo: Jackie Chan's cabbie-turned-chauffeur turns superspy when he dons his Bondian boss' tux. But the fully loaded formalwear is just another high-concept ruse to fuse his regular-guy charm and wicked martial artistry. The film has its cute moments, but the convoluted mission, which involves foiling a plan to poison the nation's water supply, bogs things down.
Jennifer Love Hewitt, meanwhile, gets lost in her character's inconsistency -- first she's a brainy evidence analyst, then a sexed-up field agent, then a dateless dork. In the end, nothing about this ''Tuxedo'' quite fits.
