A spaceship shaped like Eddie Murphy? WHY is it shaped like Eddie Murphy? I would rather fly in a spaceship shaped like, oh, Cameron Diaz maybe.

Anyway, this looks like the silliest movie in a long time. We ran the trailer during "Nim's Island" and there were barely any faint chuckles from the audience.

I wish Eddie Murphy would watch "Trading Places," "Beverly Hills Cop" and "48 Hrs" again and make a movie like that. You know, actually funny. And where he only plays one part.

I hear he's actually playing Cameron Diaz in his next film.

Its so sad, WHAT HAPPENED! Man, Eddie was SOOOO funny in RAW and his other stand up special. I remeber that I had never laughed so hard in my life when I saw those, I especially **LOVE** the Bill Cosby segment... " I would like to talk to yoooooooooooouu about, what you do in your SHOW!" "Hey bill, have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up!" It's a shame, I can't think of anything hes done in the last 15 years that has been even close to remotely funny. I hate the clumps and all tha garbage, Dr. Dootoolittle and such. awful.

I wish he would do a "Cosby Show" spoof movie and play Bill Cosby in it. I would pay double ticket price to see that!

Speaking of Bill Cosby, for some reason the trailer for "Meet Dave" made me think of "Leonard Part 6".
