(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 15% Rotten Page   1   "'Meet Dave,'opts to lay waste to the viewer's intelligence with a lame story and even more lame jokes."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari 2/5 "only first-trimester zygotes will find this funny"   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron 3/4 "I'm sure a more refined filmmaker could've squeezed the premise tighter for sophisticated laughs, but as family-angled sci-fi comedies go, Dave is actually quite agreeable. Who knew Murphy still had some fun left in him?"   Sci-Fi Movie Page   Brian Orndorf 3/4 "The picture is admirably competent, delightfully silly, and absent a majority of repulsions typically associated with an Eddie Murphy family film."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   Brian Orndorf 2/10 "Meet Dave is "Eddie Murphy in Eddie Murphy," literally, metaphorically, exhaustively."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "...one could certainly do much worse as far as Murphy's family-friendly output goes."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2.5/4 "It's not every day Eddie Murphy releases something that doesn't make you want to rip your eyes out. In its own way, it is a fun movie."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman D "Let's be honest: The shocker here would have been if it were any good."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1.5/5 "Isn't an awful film because it's Eddie Murphy, it's awful because most of the "comedy" presented is flat, lacking in any hint of timing, and is dated by about thirty years..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. D- "This gimmicky, one-note comedy takes a well-deserved place in the pantheon of Murphy mega-bombs."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "This is made-for-TV material dressed up by Eddie Murphy's participation into a theatrical release."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 1.5/5 "den hanei stigmi ap' ta matia toy to one-joke thema toy, kai agkomahaei mehri to telos na soy anamasisei ayta ta mikra paraksena pragmata poy mas kanoyn anthropoys ki enas eksogiinos tha ebriske paranoika"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis D "There are other things that Meet Dave is better than... like famine, disease and genocide... but not by much."   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr "I walked out of Meet Dave... I invested about 50 minutes in the film, which was more than it deserved, and then I finally gave up and left."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson C- "Murphy's best moments here only remind us of "Coming to America," another fish-out-of-water story. These days, Murphy seems like a fish out of water as an actor on screen."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 3/5 "Lord knows you have seen worse movies than this one and Lord knows that Eddie Murphy has probably been in many of them."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 1.5/5 "With a lazy script that uses the cheapest gags and most obvious plot points, this is yet another big Hollywood movie that squanders a strong premise on a badly undercooked vanity project."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 2.5/4 "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."   Slant Magazine   Rob Humanick "Like an awkward party guest who hopes you will be charmed by his earnest effort to overcome his lack of social graces, and just when you're on the verge ... he belches loudly and rudely - and expects you to think he's both cute and funny."   ESplatter   Steve Biodrowski 3/10 "Tedious time-waster that apologizes to its family-friendly audience with, 'Sorry, Earth, sometimes No. 2 happens!'"   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 1.5/4 "Failure couldn't happen to a nicer guy."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 15% Rotten Page   1
