It's boring. It's flat. It's ugly. Worst of all for a comedy, it's not even remotely funny.

Some diverting cameos, but Murphy struggles to keep this one grounded.

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.

Longe de ser o desastre que muitos anunciaram, o filme funciona como uma aventura descompromissada (mas năo como comédia) - e merece créditos ao menos por sua direçăo de arte e pelos bons efeitos visuais.

...Another mediocre notch in Eddie Murphy's spotty career.

Kinda sad that this endearingly strange flick will be remembered as one of the "worst ever", yet XXX is considered a good movie because it was profitable.

As much of a good idea as Pluto Nash might have been, it's execution is far less engaging.

Though my expectations for the film were exceptionally low, it turns out that The Adventures of Pluto Nash is just diverting enough to recommend it.
