Movie Info
Eddie Murphy gets way, way out in this futuristic sci-fi comedy. In the year 2087, the Earth's natural resources have been largely depleted, and an increasingly large number of people have taken up residence on the moon, where the pioneering attitude of the new residents has created a culture not unlike the old west. Pluto Nash (Eddie Murphy) is one such lunar exile who formerly made his living outside the law, but has since gone straight and now runs the hippest nightclub in the moon colony

Is it as bad as all that? Oh yes.
Formulaic films are released every week, but it's rare that one has a $100 million budget, big stars whose roles are embarrassing to watch and unusual special effects that only serve to mask a predictable plot and cliche-ridden scenes.
A paralyzingly dopey mess, Pluto sat on the shelf for more than a year while Warner Bros. tried to inject some life into it. You might as well try to revive a stuffed moose.
Forensics experts will be digging through the rubble of this fiasco for a long time, trying to reconstruct the accident. How did so many lines fall flat? Why were the action scenes so corny and unconvincing? Who put the stink on this?
Some diverting cameos, but Murphy struggles to keep this one grounded.
Top CriticAnother zillion-dollar dud.
Pluto Nash will set lunar exploration back decades.
Murphy sleepwalks through it, and who can blame him?
An action-comedy vehicle factory-made from worn clichés, wearing riffs and virtually vacuum-sealed away from both adventure and laughs.
With colossal sets, a remarkable cast, and hundreds of extras, this sci-fi comedy-adventure spoof of '30s movies should be funny and adventuresome, but it falls flat.
Murphy and Underwood must have had a lot of explaining to do.
Despite being set in 2080, The Adventures Of Pluto Nash only makes you hanker for the days when Eddie Murphy really was take-no-prisoners funny.
A waste of talent and money, Pluto Nash seems convinced that simply sticking Eddie Murphy in outer space with expensive special effects will produce laughs.
It's a real turkey.
An abundance of noise, explosions, gunplay, chases, special effects, futuristic eye candy and star power (including John Cleese, Pam Grier and Peter Boyle) generates very little pure fun or excitement in this cluttered visit to the moon.
worst futurama rip-off ever
In his early forties, the star seems to be struggling for scripts to fit his mercurial bad-boy talent, and this very expensive space comedy won't do his seesaw career any favours.
The movie is set in 2087, or approximately 100 years after scribe Neil Cuthbert last bothered to touch up his script.
This is another dud to add to Murphyís already turkey-laden CV.

- Pluto Nash: Oh, he'll help us. He couldn't sing a note if it weren't for me.
- Dina Lake: You taught Tony Fransis how to sing.
- Pluto Nash: No I convinced a bookie to pour acid down his throat.
