Meet Dave (2008): Dir: Brian Robbins / Cast: Eddie Murphy, Elizabeth Banks, Gabrielle Union, Scott Caan, Ed Helms: Meet one of the worst pieces of cinematic junk of the year. If one can predict right, it will likely meet total silence from those who celebrated its stars earlier successes. It regards contact between two factors but unfortunately those factors didn't include this film meeting a sledge hammer. A spaceship in the form of Eddie Murphy lands on earth and is operated by little people including a captain that resembles him. Once their human ship is struck by a car he is befriended by a young woman and her son. Director Brian Robbins met success with Varsity Blues but since then he has made crap such as Hardball and Ready to Rumble. The special effects here are on par with the state's worst student science projects. Easily one of Murphy's worst performances as he once again proves that the whole multiple role thing should have been left with The Nutty Professor. Elizabeth Banks is wasted as the mom whom almost wraps her car around him. Gabrielle Union plays #3 because apparently Murphy already sabotaged #1 and #2. Scott Caan plays a cop who investigates the site where Dave crash landed. Perhaps he should have investigated those whom green lit this project. This film should crash land then be buried so that no one will have to endure it again. Score: 1 / 10
