A spaceship shaped like a human lands face first on Liberty Island. Its crew (of tiny, intelligent, and unemotional beings) is looking for an orb sent from its planet to extract the oceans' salt, which will ruin Earth. The orb is in the possession of Josh, the fifth-grade son of a single mom whose car strikes the ambulatory alien spaceship and cripples its power supply. The crew has 48 hours to recover the orb, throw it in the Atlantic, and leave Earth. Over the course of two days, the ship's crew experiences chaos and emotion in New York. Do Earth's giants - Josh and his mom - have anything to teach these brainy aliens? Meanwhile, mutiny is afoot and the cops are closing in.
Leave your thoughts about Meet Dave.
| Detroit NewsTom LongIt's a silly kid's movie, nothing more. But for some, this may be a chance to meet Eddie. |
| Kansas City StarJason Heck[Murphy] might want to remember that people over 12 used to enjoy his movies as well. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard RoeperEven 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. |
| Filmcritic.comBill Gibrononly first-trimester zygotes will find this funny |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenIt's about time this guy realized he doesn't need those Norbit prosthetics. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderLet's be honest: The shocker here would have been if it were any good. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleibermanthis unfairly maligned sci-fi comedy testifies that Eddie Murphy still has the gift of surprise. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxAside from some unnecessarily crude stereotypes, Eddie Murphy's least-painful comedy in years has a certain peculiar charm. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfI'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? |
| VarietyJoe LeydonAimed squarely at the same family audiences that flocked to Murphy's "Doctor Dolittle" comedies, this is a lightly amusing and surprisingly sweet Fox release. |
