Summary: The Adventures of Pluto Nash
Review: Pluto Nash could be the worst film I've ever seen in my entire life.This movie is so stupid and ridiculous it's not even funny; kind of like Zoolander.The plot is absolutely horrid trash that must have been written in just one day.The dialogue is painful to listen to.And the actors and actressess in it are at there utter worst and don't even make the film slightly fun.It made me want to pull my eyeballs out.I can't believe I sat through a whole hour and a half of this complete crap! If you went to see this at a theater I am extremely sorry and hope you got all your money back.Ughh it is just so terrible.I know Eddie Murphy signs up for tons of comedies but couldn't he see this was awful.The whole premise of the film is stupid.It thinks it is being funny but it isn't.You just yawn and look at the clock waiting for this crap to end.The special effects and city on the moon are so fake and ridiculous.They didn't even get one thing right in this whole frecking movie.I was suprised when I saw it had gotten a 6.It is also suppose to be an adventure flick but it is nothing like that at all.If you can sit through this at the theater than you can sit through Gigli 50,000,000,000 times.What ever you do don't see this.It is worse then Legally Blonde 2.

Welcome to the Moon 2087. With all the natural resources mined out years ago, the Moon has become the new Wild West. A place where money and the right contacts can get you anything you want and anything goes."The Adventures of Pluto Nash" is an action/adventure comedy set on the moon in the year 2087, starring EDDIE MURPHY as the title character, Pluto Nash, an audacious, successful owner of the hottest nightclub in town. Pluto finds himself in trouble when he refuses to sell his club to Mogan (JOE PANTOLIANO), the lunar gangster that is helping the mysterious Rex Crater mastermind a plan to take over the entire moon.Joining Nash in the danger and lunacy are Dina Lake (ROSARIO DAWSON), a beautiful earthling who has traveled to the moon to further her singing ambitions, and Pluto's bodyguard Bruno (RANDY QUAID) - a robot quickly approaching obsolescence. Rounding out the cast are Rowland (PETER BOYLE), a pool shark and Pluto's confidant; Flura (PAM GRIER), Pluto's mother; and Tony Francis (JAY MOHR), Pluto's friend and an Italian singing sensation.

"A limp Eddie Murphy vehicle that even he seems embarrassed to be part of."
-- Kevin Courrier, GLOBE AND MAIL

Summary: One of the worst movies of all time.
Review: You know a movie is horrific when the company that want's to distribute it dosen't release it for two years.Eddie Murphy stars
in this horridly, painful and excrutiatingly dull comedy.In the year 2084 Eddie murphy is a bar owner who with his partner robot
(Randy Quaid) and newfound employee (Rosario Dawson) try to stop
a gang of thugs and holigans from running him out of business.

That is basically it and a torturious 90 minutes you'll wish
this film be burned and buried or sent to pluto itself.John Cleese has about 10 minutes in the film he was the smart one obviously he got out quick enough by that time he probly wanted
to shoot himself for being in this peice of trash.So many people lined up to this film you could hear the grasshoppers in
the background , on it's opening it made an incredible 2.2 million maybe enough to pay off the catering bill on the set
of this 100 million dollar bomb, in the end it made a pitiful
4.4 million making it the biggest lost in a movie surpassing
even Cutthroat Island loosing 95.6 million dollars and it is
now hands down the biggest movie flop in hollywood history
almost destroying Eddie Murphys carrer luckly he made Daddy
Day Care wich was able to pay the catering bill the only
curse for the company is why this wasn't just a direct to
video release , one of the all time worse films it may not
be as bad as Battlefeild Earth but it's certainly a waste
of film and time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This movie SUCKS!
Review: I can't begin to describe the flaws for this film. The movie does a great job with the special effects and futuristic settings very well though. Everything else in this film, however, comes up short on all counts. Overall, this film is hardly worth noticing.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: what is this???!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It is a good standard movie
Review: they make it seem like it sucks, which is not the case
no, it is not any groundbreaking movie or something to change the cinema. But if you want to just watch a movie then you can watch this and won't waste your time. Eddie Murphy is great in whatever role he does. It's everyone else that can make a movie subpar. But for entertainment, sure, enjoyable.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: This film is so terrible that adjectives such as "stinking" and "abomination" flee for their lives when trying to describe its appallingness.

But the worst thing about this movie isn't its total lack of humour, or the fact that the write-up on the back of the DVD would have you believe it's the most hysterical work of comedy since John Cleese and company appeared, minus trousers, in the "How to Spot a Mason" sketch in Monty Python's Flying Circus.

A little note: John Cleese does in fact make a cameo appearance in this $US95 million dollar flop. It is a tribute to the negative genius of the scriptwriters that he manages to deliver not a single humorous line during the entire shemozzle.

No, even wasting the talents of the brilliant John Cleese isn't the worst thing about this movie. It is how utterly depressed it will make you feel. Halfway through, I was rolling on the floor pounding my head in pain and yelling out for someone to give me a lobotomy, just so I wouldn't have to think about how lame and awful this movie was.

It makes you wonder...what happened? Did aliens appear halfway through the filming and abduct the "humour" hemisphere of the scriptwriters' brains? Or perhaps in some terrible parallel universe, there is an excess of humour, and scriptwriters there are employed to alleviate the tedium of the constant hystericalness by making non-funny comedies.

If so, NASA funds should immediately be redirected to closing the rip in space/time fabric these people are using to enter our universe. The escapees should then be rounded up from their cushy jobs at Warner Bros and ejected into space on the next Soyuz shuttle launch.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not as bad as advertised.
Review: I remember reading reviews about how bad this movie was. I remember reading how the distributing company was hated this movie so much that they shelved it for a year or 2 (depending on where read this at). I also remember reading that Eddie himself hated the movie and didn't want it released.

How much of this you wanna believe, believe this: This is a pretty good movie, especially if you are an Eddie fan.

Eddie plays Pluto Nash. He owns a very popular bar on the Moon. Their is a rumor that gambling is gonna be made legal on the Moon and now someone is trying to buy all of the bars so they turn them into casino's, but Eddie won't sell. His is evetually blown up (they were hoping he would still be inside)leading him on a big hunt to find out who is out to get him.

With an all-star cast, this movie has plenty of verything a movie should have: Action, cool special effects, and some very good comedy moments. All of this leads up to a pretty surprising ending.

Definitely and enjoyable movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun Popcorn Fluff
Review: There are some movies that are not meant to be great art. They aim to be nothing more than a fun way to pass time and eat popcorn at the same time. The Adventures of Pluto Nash is one of those movies.

Eddie Murphy is great as the intrepid hero Pluto Nash as he fights the sinister space mafia. Originally, Nash was a small businessman who the mafia tries to shake down. However, Nash decides to fight the mafia in what turns out to be one of the most slapsticky sci-fi adventure flicks of all time. Thrills and spills abound in this wild and wacky funfest. Pluto Nash is a well-plotted futuristic sci-fi adventure story with a comedic bent.

It also features a great cast with Rosario Dawson, Pam Grier, John Cleese, Randy Quaid, Peter Boyle and Jay Mohr.

If you just want to relax and have fun while eating popcorn, then this is a great movie for you.
