Trailer Watch: All the Eddie Murphy You Could Possibly Want in Meet Dave
Because one Eddie Murphy character per film is never enough, the actor tackles yet another multiple-personality comedy in Meet Dave, only this time, he's spared the hours of prosthetics application time demanded by Norbit and The Nutty Professor. Turns out Dave is a human-sized vessel for a bunch of tiny aliens who haven't yet mastered controls of their ship, a concept that reduces to a rather inspired bit of trailer copywriting: "Eddie Murphy in Eddie Murphy." See for yourself:
(Peter Debruge)
Brian Robbins must be stopped. Why can't Al Gore do a docu-Power Point about the way Robbins and Murphy are violently eroding quality and taste?

Tough to top the last poster, but suffice to say some gimmick comedies are just too ... gimmicky for mass consumption. I miss the old Eddie Murphy. You know, the funny one.

Should I be embarrassed by the fact that I LOL'd at both this and the LOVE GURU trailer?
