Product Description

Thereas something that makes Dave stand out from everyone else in New York City. AItas that heas an alien! AMore accurately, heas an alien ship, on a mission to Earth to save his home planet. ATorn between the voices in his head a a tiny alien crew led by a high-strung, miniature version of himself a and the world around him, Dave struggles to appear normal.

Amazon.com

Meet Dave is a family space farce with enough Eddie Murphy slapstick to make the whole family chuckle. With elements of InnerSpace, Starman, Men in Black, and even a bit of Woody Allen's Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex, the film may not break new ground, but Murphy's giddy performance lifts the material to an engaging level. Murphy plays a space ship in human form, carrying wee aliens on an excursion to earth. As "Dave Ming Chang," he interacts with his surroundings and fellow humans by following the orders given by the ship's commanders inside his "head." It's an endearing fish-out-of-water yarn that riffs of pop culture as well as potty humor for its laughs. ("Lieutenant Bottoms, what is your status?" "Captain, we had a small gas leak. It was silent, but not deadly.")

In the course of his mission, Dave is hit by a car, becomes a substitute teacher in a New York City public school, and starts to develop feelings for earth kids--and ladies. All the while his homage to the Bee Gees, from the white suit to his high-pitch-perfect rendition of "Stayin' Alive," provides an oddly perfect backdrop and symbol for Dave's being ever so slightly behind the times. Murphy is engaging as always, firing off deadpan one-liners and happily being the straight man to the film's jokes. A potential love interest, Gina (Elizabeth Banks), mentions that her late husband was a captain in the Navy. Dave says, "I am a captain." Gina: "Oh really? A captain of what?" Inside Dave's head, the crewmembers frantically search their earth database to give him the answer: "I am a captain of crunch." --A.T. Hurley

This is one of the BEST Eddie Murphy movies I have seen. It is clean fun and has so many slapstick and situational humor, it is laugh after laugh. It is so very silly and there are no really bad guys to hate in this one. Nice to see this actor can do family oriented movies without foul language since most of his other movies are filled with bad language. It is delightful and whimsical, not too serious but very funny. I think it is one of his best performances, doing something great outside the box. I recommend it as a family entertainment movie - or just a great fun movie.

Super, super funny! And I great movie for families. We watched it with our kids (probably starting at about age 8) and our friends' kids, over and over, and were entertained and laughing out loud each time! This is one of those where the fine line of delivering bathroom humor was walked perfectly. I like smart comedy, and don't have too much tolerance for plain slapstick or goofiness (unless it's really creative), and I really enjoyed this movie several times (also an unusual occurrence!).

It's admirable that Eddie Murphy after becoming a parent wanted to branch off from the raunch and make family films. That said does anybody have any affinity for "Dr. Dolittle 1 & 2" or "The Haunted Mansion"? Does anybody remember these flicks moments after watching them and going to Friendly's afterwards? "Meet Dave" is the exception to these films. It's funny, clever, and imaginative. Visually it's a feast for the eyes. Murphy essentially takes on two roles, the captain of a spaceship manned by miniature aliens who've come to Earth to extract ocean salt to save their planet and the spaceship itself that is a life-sized version of the captain decked out in Seventies disco attire. Murphy shows the versatility and dexterity here that he did in other films that he took on multiple roles. His work here recalls that of his idol, Jerry Lewis, and Peter Sellers. I remember when this film came out in the Summer of '08 and did a slow fade among all the blockbusters. This gentle funny fable is worth checking out. It beats a lot of the so-called family fare that's offered the public. "Daddy Day Camp", anyone?

I don't know why I missed this movie when it debuted. It might have been because several reviews I read were negative. I don't know why. It's a lovely comedy about perceptions. What makes us human? Is it because we were born on earth? Or is it a deep-seated spiritual thing that compells us to treat others kindly that makes us human? In the beginning of this film the aliens believe themselves to be superior to lowly humans. Until they live among them for a while. They've come to TAKE. But they've somehow become taken with humankind. I liked the reverse effect. As for the actors: Everyone gave good performances. Eddie Murphy is very talented. Gabrielle Union, splendid! The supporting cast was excellent as well.

I found out quite by accident that Ed Helms was in this movie. Since Eddie Murphy was the main star in it, I bought the DVD wondering just how much of Ed I would see. Well I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, Eddie Murphy's double character was entertaining as well. The story has a lot of futuristic, high-tech stuff in it, but it doesn't get lost in all of that. It is a very sweet comedy that I recommend for all ages. With Ed taking a short break from season 9 "The Office" to do "Hangover 3" this was a nice filler in the interim.

This movie is so hiliarious. My husband and I were laughing so hard we were crying. The end of the movie is kind of stupid, but it doesn't even matter because the rest is so funny. Highly recommended for people with a good sense of humor.

I love this movie except for the constant refrain from Hollywood that gay is okay. I love gay people but i do not condone the lifestyle.

It's true what most of rest of the reviews say...this is an very underrated film. Not sure who Eddie Murphy pissed off in Hollywood. But, someone purposely sabotaged this film--the marketing and promotion of it. From that, you think the movie sucks when it doesn't. I was IN TEARS laughing at the OPENING CREDITS. It's funny and cute, and a great family movie. My daughter came home and told me she saw it at camp and asked to see it. We had a laughfest watching it! I love Eddie!
