  Fun for the Kids

  by saintandrew

  Expectations low - whose wouldn't be after Norbert? - my wife and I decided to see Meet Dave mostly because the show time was most convenient after our dinner at PF Changs. Dave emerged as a great movie for early teens, tweens, and kids older than eight. I have to admit that I enjoyed the movie and wasn't disappointed that I'd spent our theatre money on it. The storyline is well done and the jokes are entertaining. There is some social messaging about the usual judgments and prejudices people have - but its light and very well woven into the storyline. Eddie Murphy plays his part well, the rest of the cast is sound, and there are all sorts of buried jokes in the film for adults too. If you're on a night out with your favorite hottie, I'd recommend it if you plan to sit in the back and make out. Otherwise, it?s a must rent or see it at the dollar theatre. However, if your kids are driving you up the walls while they're out of school on summer break, send them! They?ll enjoy it.

  A riot in the isles ... a MUST see

  by AtlBuzzDawg

  Okay, all I've got to say is "I'm Dave Ming Chang!" All right, not really, but once you see the movie, you'll understand ;)
  
  I went in with rather low expectations of the movie. I'd purposely tried to NOT see any trailers or learn anything about the movie.
  
  I was wrong. The movie was a riot. It provided for many Many MANY FUNNY moments that will keep you laughing from the start of the movie until the last of the credits have rolled past. Yes, you MUST stay for the entire roll of credits; you've not seen the entire movie unless you do.
  
  Trust me on this one, you will miss some very funny things that are shown during the credits as well.
  
  GRADE: a good solid A

  Stop rating movies u didn't see!

  by Vegas Guy

  To all you bozos that rate a movie you haven't seen makes no sense?? How are people that just look at how many Must Gos, Gos, so-so, etc and see just as many bad reviews from people that didn't see it compared to the Gos and Must Gos from the people that did see it. I'm tired of reading all these reviews from people that say it looks good or bad and then they rate it based on the previews. You didn't see it so don't write anything. Just see the damn movie and then rate it or don't see it if you hate it already and don't write something bad because you think it looks dumb or you don't like the actor(s). You are wasting our time.
  This movie is great. I didn't think I would like it, but I like Eddie Murphy so I gave it a shot. I could actually take my children because it is a very kid friendly movie. Go see it.

  YOU HAVE TO TOTALLY MEET DAVE!!!

  by MOVIES REVIEWER

  I DID! (at the advance press screening)
  I met DAVE this evening!
  And he gave me his full undivided attention the entire 90 minutes!
  
  MEET DAVE charmed my socks off and I was thoroughly entertained. If the movie was longer, he would have charmed the rest of my wardrobe off!!
  The humor was FUNNY, SILLY, BAWDY and WITTY.
  
  The irrepressible Eddie Murphy knows drama - but he totally gets comedy equally well. It was a treat to see him perform physical comedy again - and MEET DAVE was the perfect venue for him to showcase his considerable comedic talent.
  
  Great FUN; charming story-line; interjected with sly social and cultural and pop-culture observations/references; commentaries on courting/dating mores; a DIVERSE mix of cast/characters; a well-conceived production; nicely paced - all the RIGHT ingredients that should appeal to a wide audience.
  
  RECOMMENDATION: HIGHLY-recommended.
  GRADE: Solid A-average.

  Happy to have seen it!

  by malpica

  I rate this movie high. Great movie for family. My children; 3 and 11, and I were entertained and we laughed a lot. Did not here cursing and there was no nudity. I am not a puritan but it is difficult to take children to the movies now a days without exposing them to some sort of violence, sex, or cursing. I will buy it when it comes out on DVD!

  Funny!

  by reeree67

  This movie was hilarious! My 8 yr. old LOVED it! Its about little alien people controlling their ship that looks like the captain (eddie murphy). This type of movie appeals to a certain sense of humor and had the audience in my theater in hysterics.

  Its been awhile

  by ddsanchez78

  I went to see Meet Dave last night. It was very funny. Its been a long time since I could remember a Eddie Murphy movie being so funny. I took a 4, 11 and 15 year old with. They all loved it and it actually kept my 4 year olds attention for the whole movie. I recommend this movie to all, especially families with children. There is no crude or sexual humor in the movie.

  The critics fouled up when they rated this movie!

  by swesley316

  I always like to go against the grain when these overpriced critics dub a movie a flop or a gem. This is a good movie for those who like funny light hearted ones, especially kids. In fact, the theater was packed and I had to sit at the very front. There were moments that had me trying to stop laughing, and I am sure that taking the kids to see this film will have them in the same position I was in several hours ago.

  I felt this movie was funny. If you liked Eddie in Doctor Dolittle you will like this movie. He was very entertaining. My 10 year old laughed the whole time. He loved it. It held my attention and there were alot of people laughting out loud in the theater. This is a great family movie.

  THE WORST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE

  by vikingman2007

  I still remember being twelve years old and watching Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley in one of his best movies and of course most memorable, Beverly Hills Cop.....That movie was a riot and it is one of my favorite comedies of all time...So where did that Eddie Murphy go ? Appearently it has gone somewhere and will never return as was evident in Murphys latest attempt at a comeback , Meet Dave......This movie sucked from beginning to end....The only good thing about it was Elisabeth Banks who I find very hot for some reason.....She was the only reason why I stayed and watched this mindless piece of crap...If not for her I would have been long gone.
