Absurd, but I liked it

"Meet Dave" was silly to the point of bordering on absurd... OK, who am I kidding, it was absurd, but I liked it.Eddie Murphy plays both a human-sized human-looking vessel named Dave Ming Chang as well as the tiny captain of that same vessel. He and his tiny crew are from the planet Nil looking to save their planet by robbing Earth of all of its salt. He forms a relationship with a boy named Josh (Austyn Myers) and his mom Gina Morrison (Elizabeth Banks). Gina was trying her best to butter him up after hitting him with her car. The movie is largely about the funny way in which Dave and his crew learn lessons about what it is to be human.This isn't one of Eddie Murphy's finer moments, but I still found it enjoyable.

It's OK

Picked this for the family to view the other night, here's my review."Meet Dave" is yet another movie where Eddie Murphy plays multiple characters, though this time it's just 2.Dave (Murphy) is a ship from out of space in the form of a human body sent to retrieve a special particle that was hurled to earth. Yep. Dave is controlled internally by a bunch of tiny aliens who look human, led by "The Commander" (also Murphy). Dave ends up befriending a mother and son who he thinks can help him get what he's after. This proves a challenge though as he has to learn how to interact with humans while seeming like one of them. With this premise, obviously laughs abound.It's a dumb story, but there's some decent laughs for the family. Enjoy it for what it is and you'll be OK.

A Mediocre Movie

I watched this movie the other day and I have to say that it is a rather mediocre movie. Contains some good acting by Murphy and Banks but otherwise the acting is subpar and the humour is rather disappointing. However mildly entertaining this film is, you got to start wondering if the studios have just ran out of ideas, as this film is the latest in a trend of modern, predictable movies.Not to say this movie is bad. It is entertaining and will give you a few smiles, perhaps a chuckle or two, and is worth watching, but don't enter the cinema expecting something magnificent. The plot is disappointing, the humour is okay, the acting is good, so in the end this movie gets an overall average mark 5/10.http://www.gemizo.net
