I think some of the other reviews of 'Meet Dave' are a bit harsh. This is by no means a laugh out loud comedy movie, but the concept isn't bad and it is, at least for a while, quite amusing. The problem is that this is a one joke comedy, and the joke starts to wear thin after a while. The first half an hour or so is the best part, mainly because the plot is somewhat interesting to begin with.It doesn't take long to run out of ideas though, and when it does, the film goes downhill fast. Eddie Murphy is a funny guy and he does provide the odd funny moment, but these are too few and far between and most of the attempted jokes fall flat. That said, I sat through it all the way to the end and felt like I had been entertained, so it can't have been that bad.

This is the most hilarious movie I have ever seen! Especially the fighting between the two cops. Also it is very educational since we see clear signs of homosexuality in Nr 4. Which teaches kids about gay rights and equality! So I can definitely say that this is a great movie, great humor and overall awesomeness. Also great anti-bullying message in the beginning of the film! This movie contains hilarious scenes, sci-fi action and entertainment, and educational messages to kids! IT is the most awesome science-fiction comedy I have ever seen! I can only compliment it to the skies! This movie is also very realistic as it takes place in NYC! And we see cool reactions to the spaceship Dave's weird actions and the nice tolerance Dave receives from Gina and Josh. And it is so nice to see that the Captain suddenly becomes friends with Dooley! How adorable is that. Not to mention when Dooley gives back the crew member in his pocket and acts like " I think this is yours?"! How awesomely cute is that! I. FRIGGIN. LOVE. THIS MOVIE!!!! GO WATCH IT!!!!

I don't know why this show was bashed so much. You can't go into every movie with the expectation that its going to win an Oscar or an Academy award. This is a fun movie that is great for the whole family. With ages 39y down to 4y and all ages in between it was enjoyed by all in our family.A rigid "alien" ship (in the form of Eddi Murphy) full of little people, comes to earth looking for an orb that missed it's target, our oceans. The orb is to collect earths ocean waters for the salt to save their own planet. But things change during their mission and they not only locate the orb but find more then they ever expected.So if your looking for a fun show for the whole family then give this a try. If your expecting an Academy award winner then you should probably pass. But then again...maybe this is just the show you need.

OK I don't know why this movie has so many neg reviews! I laughed so many times ... great comedy! Brings me back to see Eddy back like this! It's a bit cheesy... but I definitely laughed a lot! Ultimately I felt it was 2hrs well spent! When "Dave" deals with the bully I laughed ... Marc Blucas was only in it for a few shots but dang he is hot brings me back to the later seasons of Buffy the vampire slayer when he played her boyfriend ... Pat Kilbane plays #4 and well he is hilarious later in the movie but don't want 2 spoil anything! Austyn Myers is cute kid in the movie. Take the 2hrs 2 watch it you wont regret it. It's amusing to see the "Dave ship" awkwardly attempting to mimic human behavior. Great family movie. Enjoy.
