Meet Dave
5,024
Comedy. Sci-Fi. Adventure
A massive fireball from space hits New York's Central Park and an ordinary man emerges unscathed. The man turns out to be a spaceship operated by 100 human-looking aliens who are one-quarter inch tall and seeking a way to save their planet; complications ensue when their captain falls in love with an Earth woman who's always picked losers for previous romances.

United States | TV Guide | "Aside from some unnecessarily crude stereotypes, Eddie Murphy's least-painful comedy in years has a certain peculiar charm." | POS |
United States | LA Weekly | "'Meet Dave' feels a little too cuddly and familiar to be more than a programmatic summer kids' movie" | NEU |
United States | Variety | "Aimed squarely at the same family audiences that flocked to Murphy's "Doctor Dolittle" comedies, this is a lightly amusing and surprisingly sweet Fox release." | POS |
United States | USA Today | "If only the movie had heeded its own advice and tried to be different from the standard formula." | NEG |
United States | SFGATE | "Isn't likely to win Murphy another Oscar nomination, but it allows him to do what he does best - loads of physical comedy." | NEU |
United States | Philadelphia Inquirer | "'Meet Dave' isn't great, but it's good enough. And it proves once again that Murphy can do anything - even a PG comedy in which he isn't a donkey." | POS |
United States | Boston Globe | "On just about every occasion in Meet Dave, Murphy appears to be on the verge of cracking himself up. This is good news. At least someone found him funny." | NEG |
Canada | The Globe and Mail | "Actually, as Eddie Murphy PG comedies go, Meet Dave isn't bad. In fact, it's kind of sweet, innocent almost – kid-friendly in the best sense." | POS |
