Summary: Dave Ming Chang (Eddie Murphy), newly arrived in New York City, may be the ultimate fish out of water. There's something about him that's not quite right – for starters, he seems remarkably out of place and uncomfortable in his own body. And for good reason: "Dave" is not a man at all, but a ship made in the image of its miniature-sized captain. It's Eddie Murphy in Eddie Murphy in "Meet Dave".
"Contrary to what its altogether hideous advertising campaign would have you think, the latest collaboration between Eddie Murphy and Norbit director Brian Robbins is not, in fact, the worst movie ever made." - Rob Humanick
Remember when Eddie Murphy was funny? Yeah, apparently he doesn't either, because this has nothing in common with any of his good work. Dumb premise, dumb writing, and a metric ton of childish unfunny "jokes" make Meet Dave one of the biggest misses for a comedy I've seen in years.
Not believable on any level. Crazy guy you hit with a car acting like a robot, I'm not gonna let him in my home, or fall in love with him if I were a girl. Honestly I wouldn't even let Eddie Murphy in my home nowadays. The acting was weak and as much as I like Elizabeth Banks, her acting was worst of all. Had a stupid predictable ending, that didn't even end at the logical point. I will say out of all the new Murphy films, this one is better than most.
Eddie Murphy *used* to be funny. Sadly, his movies are starting to feel like an upmarket Martin Lawrence skit. The jokes were lame and predictable. The special effects looks dated, and the plot was lifted from a seven year old's imagination. It may appeal to six year olds' though.
I expected a lot from this flick, but story and jokes sucks. A space ship can make emergency landing on a head, no problem, but a small hit in a head put them out of control. Entertainment for kids. Haven't seen such low level effects for a long time.
It's very much a film designed for kids alone, and as such it feels very heavy-handed. Once again, it's a marker of exactly how poor Murphy's choice of film has become in recent years, and (beyond an interesting premise) there's really very little here for anyone to enjoy.
Eddie Murphy, what happened? You used to be a funny guy. The guy we could rely on to generate some solid laughs when we went to the movies. The last time he did that was in 2003 with Daddy Day Care. This awful comedy about a race of tiny aliens operating a human-shaped capsule that looks like Eddie Murphy had to have sounded better on paper. The jokes are worthless and the cast is wasted.
A reasonably good comedy flick that's better than some of Eddie's disasters (think Norbit) but nowhere near his best (think Nutty Professor). I haven't seen Pluto Nash but I'm assuming it's simialr to this. It's a silly idea but somehow they pull it off with a few good laughs here and there and at the end of the day I was laughing and in the end that's the goal. Bonus points for Gabrielle Union who is a total babe :D
