It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I don't get why some reviewers feel they have this duty to review every film like it's up for a best picture nomination. This is a very well done science fiction comedy that moves well (run time about 90mins) and is well acted. Loads of familiar faces in the film so that usually helps a movie find an audience on Netflix/Amz/Hulu. It has its usual comedy pratfalls but overall it's a cute flick that you will have no issues enjoying with your family....I mean Hollywood should have room for films like these too. It wasn't always about comic book franchises and animation studios.

Continuing my plan to watch every Eddie Murphy movie in order, I come to Meet Dave (2008)Plot In A Paragraph: A crew of miniature aliens operate a spaceship that has a human form. While trying to save their planet from destruction, the aliens encounter a variety of problems.Although I'm not 100% sure what was going on before I turned it off, Meet Dave is pretty much movie making by numbers. Murphy doing his big grin? check. A bathroom joke? check. lame romance? check. A bit of physical comedy? check. Woeful melodrama meant to tug at the heartstrings?? check. Feel-good ending?? check. Murphy sleepwalks Through this one. He doesn't even look like he is trying to hide it. And of courseMurphy playing dual roles. Minus the fat suit or heavy make up this time.I know I'm in the bad era of Murphy movies now, but I would say this is the worst Murphy I have watched!! Yes, worse than both Best Defence and Pluto Nash. I at least made it al the way through those movies.Meet Dave was a box office bomb only grossing $11 million at the domestic box office (Pluto Nash is the only Eddie Murphy movie to gross less) and it did not place in the Top 100 highest grossers of the year.

this is a simple and sweet movie for parents and children to watch together and have some fun!not too much can be said about this movie outside of the fact that eddie murphy is always funny and using his body as a 'spaceship' was genius. the space ship crew is full of wacky characters that must learn 'earth ways' quickly to achieve their mission. and in that the story unfolds into many laughs. nothing ugly or obscene happens here. just lots of visual gags and plenty of dumb laughs.and the ends offers a real message all children and adults need to hear more often. so give this funny but dumb movie a try! and i bet once you watch it you won't forget it!!

OK I don't know why this movie has so many neg reviews! I laughed so many times ... great comedy! Brings me back to see Eddy back like this! It's a bit cheesy... but I definitely laughed a lot! Ultimately I felt it was 2hrs well spent! When "Dave" deals with the bully I laughed ... Marc Blucas was only in it for a few shots but dang he is hot brings me back to the later seasons of Buffy the vampire slayer when he played her boyfriend ... Pat Kilbane plays #4 and well he is hilarious later in the movie but don't want 2 spoil anything! Austyn Myers is cute kid in the movie. Take the 2hrs 2 watch it you wont regret it. It's amusing to see the "Dave ship" awkwardly attempting to mimic human behavior. Great family movie. Enjoy.
