Movie Details & Credits

Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation | Release Date: July 11, 2008 | PG

Starring: Eddie Murphy, Elizabeth Banks

Summary: Dave Ming Chang, newly arrived in New York City, may be the ultimate fish out of water. There's something about him that's not quite right - for starters, he seems remarkably out of place and uncomfortable in his own body. And for good reason: "Dave" is not a man at all, but a ship made in the image of its miniature-sized captain.

Critic Reviews

Ken Fox

Aside from some unnecessarily crude stereotypes, Eddie Murphy's least-painful comedy in years has a certain peculiar charm. Read full review

Carrie Rickey

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. Read full review

Stephanie Zacharek

It's a good-natured if flimsy comedy that, at the very least, suggests that Murphy hasn't completely lost whatever made him funny in the first place. Read full review

Michael Sragow

More palatable than "Norbit" but equally uninspired, Murphy's benign, pedestrian Meet Dave mostly gives us "Mr. Ed," with a bit of Crazy Eddie mixed in. Read full review

Keith Phipps

Proven comic talents like Judah Friedlander and Ed Helms make up much of Murphy's crew, but apart from speaking in contraction-free spaceman-ese, the film doesn't give them anything funny to do. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

The kind of bland, generic, high-concept midsummer comedy that drives a critic to the thesaurus in search of new ways to say "vapid." Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

After his disastrous outing in 200X with "The Adventures of Pluto Nash," there was no direction for Murphy to head but up in terms of another space alien movie. Indeed, Meet Dave is a step up, but that's only in relation to Pluto Nash. Read full review

Good comedy by my favorite actor Eddie Murphy. I found only his acting was good, but i felt the effects could have been made better. Overall i like it.

es entretenida pero no del todo convincente para mas clificacion me quede en un 4.6 pero no alcanza a un cinco porque falta aun mas para algo mas expansivo en la comedia, pero sin embargo es muy poco ridiculo es algo pasajero que se intento aprovechar

Like Disney's second Shaggy Dog remake, this is another one of Brain Robbins' movies we find him better for. Even though the backtalk is not acceptable here, but really.

What an embarrassing movie. What a waste of talent. Perhaps it's American humour of some sort, that I don't understand. Maybe it's just for small children. Shame, I love Eddie Murphy. It could have been so much better, the idea was very good.
