At least Eddie Murphy isn't knocking about in a fat suit in his latest comedy, Meet Dave.
But there's not much else to recommend in this banal fish-out-of-water comedy. The lackluster title hints at the dull, witless and hackneyed story.
Murphy plays the captain of a Star Trek-type ship filled with miniature human-looking aliens who are far more advanced than earthlings. Apparently, they are traveling on an important mission from their planet, Nil — an appropriate name given the lack of laughs here — which is undergoing a life-or-death emergency.
Earth has something they need, so they send a representative (also Murphy) in the form of a man-shaped spaceship. The fellow with the weird smile who crash-lands in New York City is powered by a crew of very capable miniature people, each operating a different part of his body.
