Amazon.co.uk Review
IThe Adventures of Pluto Nash/I was shelved for nearly two years, and when it was finally released, hardly anyone noticed. In the interim, Eddie Murphy made the marginally better IShowtime/I and started fishing for a career revival that wasn't a sequel to his previous hits. In the satirical, lunar-colony hash of IPluto Nash/I, Murphy's a variant of ICasablanca/I's Rick Blaine in the year 2087, happily running the moon's hottest nightclub, refusing a buyout offer from a greedy gambler, and suffering the consequences with his sidekick robot (Randy Quaid in yet another thankless role) and newest employee (Rosario Dawson, before doing similar time in IMen in Black II/I). A visual hybrid of ITotal Recall/I and IA.I./I, this nearly laughless comedy would be a total write-off if it weren't for Murphy's stalwart attempt to jump-start the flagging humour. He's got the chops of a superstar, but only when his collaborators are on the same page. --IJeff Shannon/I

 An unusual Eddie Murphy film, but I like it June 11, 2008
After watching the trailer for this film it looked like it was well worth taking a look at this film as I thought it could be a sleeper, on first viewing I thought I was wrong.br /br /I do like Eddie Murphy, but he's not the most consistent actor in Hollywood when it comes to his choice of film to make.br /br /There are lots of faces that people will recognise, a strangely restrained Randy Quaid, Joe Pantoliano, an unfunny role for the late great Peter Boyle and good turns by both John Cleese and Luis Guzman, plus Pam Grier who has a couple of shorts scenes too.br /br /With the cast assembled this could and should have been a riot, but it's takes at least 10 minutes to get going, there are some good moments and I like the idea of the film, but the plot is a little thin.br /br /Eddie Murphy plays it straight and I can't help thinking that because he's playing it straight then no one else was allowed off their leash to be funny and upstage Murphy, the stars must have realised that this was just not funny enough to be a comedy as most of them just go through the motions, the only people with any real enthusiasm in their performances were Cleese and Guzman, but they were not in the film enough to have any real impact on proceedings.br /br /After watching this a second time I'd say don't go into it thinking it's a comedy, there are some fun bits and laughs to be had here there's no doubt about that, in a way it reminds me of The Princess Bride, an adventure that's fun to watch, but not full of laughs, but has it's moments all the same, plus this is set in space.br /br /Maybe worth renting before any potential purchase, after my first viewing I'd have given this 2 stars, the second now gets 3, now that I know what to expect maybe it'll go to a 4 next time?, a good little film and a nice bit of fun and adventure.
 Don't buy it for the laughs, buy it for the sheer style May 10, 2008
I wouldn't call this a "nearly laughless comedy," but it isn't Eddie Murphy's funniest movie. Plot-wise, it's a bit on the thin side, and if you've read the other reviews, you know pretty much all you need to know without having any surprises spoiled for you. Once again, Eddie Murphy is playing a heck of a nice guy who wants to make the universe a better place and gets into some bizarre scrapes along the way. Same old, same old, right?br /br /Not exactly. Yeah, fine, it's set on the moon, in the future. But the look and feel of the lunar colonies is spectacular: eminently stylish mixed with futuristic, retro, and lived-in grunge. Just about every single aspect of life on the moon has been thought of, in exacting detail, and it shows. And the music is pretty darn good, too, with some fun and enjoyable remixes of old moon-themed favourites. So while you will not be needing to change your underwear from laughing so hard at this film, you'll get a few chuckles . . . and one HELL of a treat for the eyes and ears.br /br /Well, anyway, that's my opinion. I recommend renting it to see for yourself. Then, if you like it, the price it's at now is a pretty good deal.
