Very well executed
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
View MoreThe movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
View MoreThis movie at least managed to be better than "The Master Of Disguise" but it's still bad. It seems like this film has a hard time deciding whether or not it wants to be a bad comedy or a bad action movie. It looks like the main focus wasn't even on jokes here. There's this obnoxious robot named Bruno. There's also these jokes involving an erotic French robot maid. It goes practically nowhere.If nothing else, this movie was clichéd. We get clones in space and laser guns. What's so unique about that? The plot revolves around Pluto Nash getting in trouble with criminals with the place he owns. This might be a reason why Pluto is no longer a planet. Well, this took place on the Moon anyway. *1/2
View MoreThis is garbage.. I feel bad for Eddie Murphy. I used to like Eddie Murphy's films, but this just seems like meh..... do it for the money.
View MoreOne of the best feel good movies I've ever seen. Set in space which I love, a space hustler / club owner has a series of misadventures. They actually used some imagination for this film, cool characters and different future techs. I loved the advanced Moon Cadillac lol just awesome. Not sure what ppl expected with this movie I'm guessing it's just because Eddie Murphy was in it that ppl must have expected some huge belly busting block buster. That is not what this movie is, it is a light hearted comedy set in space (the Moon). I really liked the original characters with the quirky personality's of the machines (IE robot, Cadillac) If your looking for a sci-fi scene with some good laughs and funny characters this movie is for you!
View MoreWhich came first Independence Day or The Adventures of Pluto Nash? Independence Day was released six years before Pluto Nash. The connection between the two? James Rebhorn appeared in both. Seeing him looking younger in Pluto Nash than he did in ID added to my sense that Pluto Nash was a late 80s or early 90s film. It just has that look and feel to it. Pluto Nash resembles 1986's Howard the Duck more than its 2002 brethren Star Wars Episode II, Lord of the Rings II, Spider Man, or MIB II (which also included Rosario Dawson). The reason that Pluto Nash seems out of place is that its genesis came in the mid-80s. For some reason, no one stuck a fork in it. Going into production 15 years (in 2000) after its conception is odd to say the least. The mid-80s were not the early 2000s. What might have been entertaining in 1985 wasn't so in 2002. The 80s were just a very different time. Pluto Nash has such an 80s feel to it that I distinctly remember watching it repeatedly on HBO while in my apartment. The thing is, I had moved from that apartment in 1988. Freaky false memory, huh? Other 80s features of Pluto Nash are its dialog, sets, coloration, and special effects. Cheesy is the word that describes the general feel of Pluto Nash. What perplexes me is that this movie cost about $125 million dollars. I could not see anything or any combination of things in Pluto Nash that should have added up to $125 million. A fifth of that? A fourth of that? Maybe. Maybe Eddie Murphy made a killing with his salary. Maybe Warner Brothers worked with the federales to funnel cash to the NSA, and Pluto Nash really cost only $1 million to make. The extra $124 million would buy a lot of flash drives.As cheesy and unbelievably expensive as this movie is, it is still moderately entertaining. Eddie Murphy (who hit his stride in the 80s and probably peaked just before this movie) is an entertainer through and through. I can't think of many roles where I haven't felt good from watching him work. (Delirious is one funny standup performance with him in that red leather jumpsuit and all.) Rosario Dawson spent a lot of the movie doing nothing but looking cute, and she excelled in that. (She's another performer who seldom disappoints.) Randy Quaid made a good performance as an outdated android. The part didn't have much depth or opportunities, but he scored some of the movie's best lines. All of the humor in Pluto Nash was subtle. Very subtle, but there nonetheless.Pluto Nash is a good movie to have on as background stimulus. Maybe at a family holiday gathering when the movie is secondary.
