Seeking a way to save their doomed world, a crew of tiny aliens arrive on earth in their super-spaceship disguised as a human called "Dave" (Eddie Murphy). On board the spaceship each miniature member of the crew is responsible for operating a different part of the body. As the aliens try to ensure that Dave fits in with his fellow humans in New York city there are some hilarious results - their mission is definetely proving to be more difficult then they had planned. Gather round and Meet Dave in this laugh out loud comedy for all ages, starring Dr Dolittle's Eddie Murphy! Join the crew of this spaceship to discover that there's a whole other world going on inside! (20th Century Fox UK)

Funnier than The Nutty Professor? Yes. Good movie? Unfortunately, no.

In my opinion, if you want to do comedy, you should have a sense of humor. I guess nobody told the makers of this movie that, unfortunately. On the other hand, Eddie Murphy is a good actor and there were some good bits at times... hence the 2 stars.

The problem with most films starring Eddie Murphy is his very presence. His grimaces and gestures have long been clichés, so his performance is not that funny and any memory of him fizzles out like steam over a pot by the end. The premise isn't bad at all, the effects are decent, and Gabrielle Union is adorable. The rest is rather below average. In short, imaginative, occasionally funny, but terribly predictable and the acting is pretty weak.
