Eddie Murphy has made a lot of crappy movies. Like, A LOT of crappy movies. And yet, he may have topped himself with Meet Dave, his latest.
Seeking a way to save their doomed world, a crew of tiny, human-looking aliens arrives on earth in the perfect disguise–a spaceship shaped like an ordinary man. [MovieWeb]
No, really, that’s the actual synopsis. You’d think this would be something I’d make up, like, “Eddie Murphy’s in some trouble… when he has a to run a day care center… full of bunny rabbits!” or, “You’ve never seen Eddie Murphy like this before! [quit cut to Eddie Murphy heavily made up to look like Asian girl with down syndrome] ‘Durr, I rike chow mein! [winks at camera].”
But I didn’t make it up, because what’s the point? Eddie Murphy has made satire obsolete.

Maybe tiny aliens could make a spaceship look like Richard Pryor and slap the shit out of Eddie.
Boy, all that Shrek money allows him to do all these fine cinematic gems in between those films…
I’ll be honest
I chuckled when he booted that cat.
what the f*ck?
So it’s like Pluto Nash meets Men In Black meets Human Excrement?
Bill Cosby said, "Fuck Eddie, maybe you should stick to all the cursing."
At least it looks like he held up well during re-entry.
Ford’s been working on an Eddie Murphy shaped car. The Pluto Nash Rambler.
I cat-kick got me too, just not engouh to make me actually want to see this.
So who’s playing king Jaffe Joffer in this remake of Coming to America?
Why can’t James Earl Jones do it? Gravitas.
Eddie Murphy’s next project is called, "Don’t Blame Me, White People Are Paying Me To Do This."
Did I see Josh Brolin?
ANd as bad as the trailer is. i’m more offended by the love interest being a white woman.
GRRR…Interracial!
When you think of garbage, think of Eddie. I dunno, it seemed harmless enough. A bit of Steve Martin from All of Me. A bit of Eddie Murphy from Coming to America. At least the spaceship wasn’t Queen Latifah.
Fuckin squirrel beat me to my punchline. Fuck you squirrel, well played.
Eddie Murphy is the anti-Tyler Perry.
Make all the shitty movies you want dude. NOTHING is gonna take away the fact that:
A) you got blown by a tranny
B) neither of you were drunk
C) you let the tranny live
Dor sho gha! J is correct!
KILL THE INFIDEL!!! (Murphy, not J)
Elizabeth Banks is on notice. Being ridiculously hot only gets you so far before poor movie choices leave you Henstridged.
Amen J. Amen, ummm to you? How does that work exactly?
<——— Birfday boy. Recognize.
BONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy BJ Day Stone. Good luck collecting on that.
Happy birthday Stone.
Now that that’s over with, why does the interior of the Eddie Murphy spaceship look like the inside of a Volvo?
That’s not a typo, I did mean the car.
Stoney, I got you two passes for Meet the Browns. The other pass is for Sexman. Enjoy.

Looks like I WILL be collecting that birfday Beej afterall…
Burnsey: True Story
Henstridged (I like it, mark it Dude). To show you how far her poor choices took her let me tell you this. She is/used to be the girlfriend of a dude from the year below me in high school. I used to bully him. He has done the naked tango with her. FUCK!
Frankly I don’t know who I am more upset for, Henstridge or me…
…And he’s about to find out…that seeking a way to save their doomed world, a crew of tiny, human-looking aliens arrives on earth in the perfect disguise–a spaceship shaped like an ordinary man is harder than it looks.
Tum ta tittly tum ta too!
atleast it’s not norbitt two
meh, looks pretty compared to all his recent shit. the R rated movies he would like to make just wouldnt make the money that these recent films would. simple math. he proved pretty recently he can still own the screen in the diana ross movie (well fuck me i forgot the title). dont really get why ppl hate on him so much, so he sold out big deal.. i would too for that amount of money.
I’m frightened by the concept of an invincible Eddie Murphy. What if it malfunctions and gets very VERY pissed? Hide your children! And your cats! Aahh!
when I saw the standee the other day I thought it was an InnerSpace remake.
Wow this is sad, Eddie Murphy used to be funny. I haven’t been this depressed since I found out the hot new neighbor girl across the street was missing a leg. I mean it eliminated three quarters of the sexual positions I had planned in my head.
Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich?(!) I have seen a lot of movies that have sent chilles down my spine, but I can’t see a room full of Eddie Murphy… I just can’t.
