Welcome to the Moon 2087. With all the natural resources mined out years ago, the Moon has become the new Wild West. A place where money and the right contacts can get you anything you want and anything goes.

"The Adventures of Pluto Nash" is an action/adventure comedy set on the moon in the year 2087, starring EDDIE MURPHY as the title character, Pluto Nash, an audacious, successful owner of the hottest nightclub in town.

Joining Nash in the danger and lunacy are Dina Lake (ROSARIO DAWSON), a beautiful earthling who has traveled to the moon to further her singing ambitions, and Pluto's bodyguard Bruno (RANDY QUAID) - a robot quickly approaching obsolescence.

This is another dud to add to Murphyís already turkey-laden CV.

This is a fudged opportunity of gigantic proportions -- a lunar mission with no signs of life.

By never deciding what it wants to be -- wacky comedy or action thriller -- this film fails miserably on both fronts.

It's boring. It's flat. It's ugly. Worst of all for a comedy, it's not even remotely funny.

Some diverting cameos, but Murphy struggles to keep this one grounded.

The movie is set in 2087, or approximately 100 years after scribe Neil Cuthbert last bothered to touch up his script.

Longe de ser o desastre que muitos anunciaram, o filme funciona como uma aventura descompromissada (mas não como comédia) - e merece créditos ao menos por sua direção de arte e pelos bons efeitos visuais.

...Another mediocre notch in Eddie Murphy's spotty career.

Kinda sad that this endearingly strange flick will be remembered as one of the "worst ever", yet XXX is considered a good movie because it was profitable.

As much of a good idea as Pluto Nash might have been, it's execution is far less engaging.

Though my expectations for the film were exceptionally low, it turns out that The Adventures of Pluto Nash is just diverting enough to recommend it.

A sparkling but cold and lifeless chunk of rock which is best left forgotten.
