Meet Dave, I got a bad feeling about this.
While Hellboy 2 & Journey to the Center of the Earth are garnering good reviews at RT Meet Dave looks to be not available for advance screening since it has yet to have one review. That is a really bad sign. Studio is trying to get a good opening weekend before word gets around based on a big star. Hell, even Love Guru wasn't kept away from critics. Could be a Golden Raspberry candidate in the making coming out Friday.

Eddie should have moved away from "high-concept star vehicles" a *LONG* time ago. He was spectacular in "Dreamgirls", and that was a high watermark blip in a long, steady decline of a once-promising comic actor.
Eddie Murphy IS Norbit! Eddie Murphy IS Dr. Doolittle! Eddie Murphy IS The Nutty Professor! Eddie Murphy IS Pluto Nash!!! etc. etc. etc.
What was his last really good, really different, really exciting movie? I loved "Bowfinger" and "Boomerang", but those were 9 and 16 years ago, respectively.

How many $100m flops can Murphy survive?

Just try not to think about the abhorrent sequel.

He's probably got some leeway

What's up with the very vague TV spots? I take it that the movie is like Osmosis Jones or something (a civilization inside a person). Is that right? The TV Spot was one of the few that left me scratching my head.
