What happens

Taxi! Taxi! (Chinese: 德士当家; pinyin: déshì dāngjiā) is a 2013 Singaporean comedy film based on the 2010 work Diary Of A Taxi Driver by Cai Mingjie, said to be "Singapore's most well-educated taxi-driver". Directed by Kelvin Sng and produced by Chan Pui Yin and Chan Yan Yan for SIMF Management, the film stars Gurmit Singh, Mark Lee and YouTube personality Chua Jin Sen, better known by his online handle "Dr. Jia Jia". It is Chua's professional film debut. The film follows two fellow taxi-drivers' (Lee and Singh) quest for self-discovery. Distributed by Golden Village Pictures, the film was commercially released in Singapore on 3 January 2013 and slated for a 24 January 2013 release in Malaysia. This film also marks the second on-screen pairing of Singh and Lee after One Leg Kicking, which was released on 14 November 2001. The comedy duo also collaborated again later in the year where they both starred in the movie known as Everybody's Business, which would mark their third collaboration and was released on 5 December 2013.
