New York Daily News
Eddie Murphy's latest comedy, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, takes place in the year 2087, which is about the earliest he can hope to be forgiven.

There are worse movies, but that's no excuse. Rarely has so much money delivered so little entertainment.

Kevin Courrier
A limp Eddie Murphy vehicle that even he seems embarrassed to be part of.

Variety
The proper mix is never found. Ill-conceived and expensive project that winds up looking like a bunch of talented thesps slumming it.

New Times (L.A.)
Only Quaid, as a semiretarded horny robot, and Cleese as a fussy chauffeur hologram seem to get it. Even Murphy, as the titular nightclub big shot in outer space, forgets to be actually funny until the climax.

Austin Chronicle
In terms of execution this movie is careless and unfocused.

Los Angeles Times
It's not awful, but the high cost of a movie ticket these days seems like a steep price to pay for 90 minutes of air conditioning and production design.

Cosmic slop.

The New York Times
Strands one of the most gifted casts assembled in some time. Sadly, though many of the actors throw off a spark or two when they first appear, they can't generate enough heat in this cold vacuum of a comedy to start a reaction.

LA Weekly
Murphy slogs his way through this dismally dull sci-fi comedy.

The Onion (A.V. Club)
A headache-inducing mess without direction or purpose.

So unremittingly awful that labeling it a dog probably constitutes cruelty to canines.
