Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Undescribable Perfection

Absolutely Fantastic

The acting in this movie is really good.

I remember watched this as a kid, I am thankful for that. I couldn't stop laughing! This film is funny and stupid! But never mind that, it is greatly entertaining. In this movie, you don't need to pay attention to anything because the acting is the same - LAME! The costumes are the same - PLASTIC! The jokes are the same from every other lame space comedy. The action is fast, sometimes too fast, actually. I have never understood the idea and concept when it comes to the design of robots in this film. But that's passable, I shall leave that alone. This story is dumb and average. This film is one big circus act! Murphy, stop making movies, you were once great!

"Obviously, you did something stupid," says John Cleese. To the director, writer, Eddie Murphy, hell…everyone, anyone involved. (At least, I imagined that line from the movie being used more accurately.)Wait a moon minute, was The Adventures of Pluto Nash supposed to be a comedy? Or funny at all? I waited one hour of 90 minutes for one laugh, one chuckle. Not a won. Not once did I even smirk.If it was supposed to be a Sci-Fi adventure, it also had no gravity or originality. Or fun. It was just listless with poorly designed sets that looked like they were stolen from far superior films.Was it supposed to be a romantic drama? Nope. No chemistry here from any of the actors, male/female or otherwise.Finally, I guess it could've been attempting to be a futuristic, action flick. This had as much action in it and looked as futuristic as Schindler's List did.Never once, since 2002, had I ever wanted to see this movie. Had it not be for those awesome guys over at the How Did This Get Made podcast, I would have lived out the rest of my days oblivious to how horrid this picture was.Pretty much, in this failed sitcom pilot of a feature-length, (hasn't been funny in about two decades) Eddie Murray plays the title character on the moon and when his nightclub is threatened by the building of a casino – wait, stop. I know it's been a couple of weeks since I've seen this, but is there not A WHOLE LOTTA ROOM ON THE MOON to build this casino without having to do the age old "if you don't sell, I'll make your life hell so I can become rich on your land" plot?Actually, screw this movie. There is absolutely nothing here worth mentioning or thinking about. Eddie looked bored and uninterested, as did most of the other cast. I do, however recommend you listen to the How Did This Get Made podcast on this. Not only is it enormously hilarious, but they give you a bunch of fun background information that makes this project all the more worthless.* * * Final thoughts: Okay, I've never been an Eddie Murphy fan. Mostly, these days, I watch his movies to laugh AT him instead of because of him. That said, of the about a dozen movies I've seen of his, I did favor: 1996's The Nutty Professor and his turn as Donkey in the Shrek films. Yep, that's about it.

pluto nash is one of them movies, that was a box office flop, so people like to jump on the bandwagon and say its rubbish, when it is far from it, this is a great eddie murphy movie, and is funny, with a great cast, and a sexy looking rosario dawson, thats a pretty sweet hour and a half to me. most people that badmouthed the movie, didn't even watch it, its just cool to say it isn't good, well let me tell you know, if your a fan of eddie murphy, and why wouldn't you be, then you will enjoy this movie very much, no it isn't one of the best movies of alltime, it isn't even of eddie murphy's best but it is a great comedy, that delivers some good laughs, watch it you'll be surprised

I do not hate Pluto Nash because it was a box-office failure, even if it was, I don't consider that a valid enough reason to hate on a movie. I hate it because it is for me simply not funny and wastes a cast that I think are talented and deserve better.Granted the special effects are elaborate and really quite good and I did like the music, however that is all I have to say that was good. Don't get me wrong I do like Eddie Murphy and his films, Beverly Hills Cop, 48 Hours, Trading Places and Shrek and classics and I liked Coming to America and Bowfinger too.However, when it comes to talking about his films, the only movie of his I consider worse than Pluto Nash is the atrocity that is Norbit. Murphy is a funny and likable actor, but he is very bland here. He does make too much of an effort to stop his character from being bland and ends up over-compensating.The rest of the cast are wasted. John Cleese phones in, Pam Grier is saddled with tired material and sadly it comes through loud and clear in her performance and Rosario Dawson struggles with a clichéd character in the form of a wannabe singer. Worst of all is Randy Quaid, who not only has some of the film's worst dialogue and gags but his performance is just awful.The cast are not helped by a truly tired and unfunny script, lazy direction from Ron Underwood(was it really the director of Tremors and City Slickers?) and a rushed and predictable story that is filled with poor characters and trite and disconnected scenes.So in conclusion, a very poor film and one of Murphy's worst films. 2/10 Bethany Cox
