If it didn't depend on dozens of cliche's I might have actually enjoyed it. There are some funny moments in Meet Dave but still it's an odball, unoriginal and kind of creepy movie. It's not terrible, it's... read more -

May 17, 2010A very funny Movie Far More then I expected. I laughed all through the movie. Eddie Murphy played an excellent part. Elizabeth Banks was simply beautiful. A great family movie, nothing that can be shown to any age, clean throughout. 4 1/2 stars

September 10, 2009Eddie murphy's movies always seem like yes there ok but you probably won't remember them in the long run! eddie murphy gives his same old predictsable effort into this, this movie is ok and watchable but dont bother going out of your way to watch it!

July 18, 2009You think this might be a crappy unfunny typical Murphy family film at first, but it isn't, well not much anyway. Its actually not bad, the humor is very basic, childish and predictable but it has a certain charm, a certain something that makes it enjoyable instead of embarassing... read more

March 29, 2009Eddie Murphy continues his rich tradition of great films with Meet Dave. Yes, that means it sucks. It really sucks. I can't believe I watched this garbage, but I figured someone had to take one for the team.
The film revolves around an alien spaceship that looks like Alex Foley.... read more -

January 10, 2009Eddie Murphy teams up again with Brian Robbins. Their previous work was "Norbit". His performance in that film pretty much made him lose the Academy Award...
In "Norbit", Eddie Murphy has no fat suit. He plays the captain of a spaceship that looks like him. Ok, normally I would ... read more -
December 14, 2008Eddie Murphy redeems himself somewhat with this family friendly film

December 6, 2008I would like to apologize for laughing at the first half of the movie. Its horrible in every way yet I still found the first half amusing. The second was a steamy pant load.

Even in C-movie junk like this, Murphy manages to wring a few laughs out of the material. But the humor is so broad it barely fits onto the screen.

Meet Dave alone may not radically change the course of Eddie Murphy's drooping career. But it is, at least, a little olive branch held out to his audience. And that's better than Nil. Full Review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Dumbfoundingly erratic, for the most part, but smart and funny from time to time, especially when Mr. Murphy, in the pseudo-person of the spaceship, tries to imitate earthling behavior. Full Review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The lackluster title hints at the dull, witless and hackneyed story. Full Review

Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
The summer popcorn flick manages to deliver more than the standard sci-fi send-up, thanks to a solid supporting cast -- most of whom come from TV -- that help bolster Murphy's average work. Full Review

Director Brian Robbins keeps going for easy laughs. Full Review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Eddie Murphy -- was that Oscar nominated performance in Dreamgirls just something I imagined? -- continues to trash his very real talent with bottomfeeding material.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
There are some laughs here and there, but this is badly edited hack work. Full Review
