Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The Adventures of Pluto Nash was shelved for nearly two years, and when it was finally released, hardly anyone noticed. In the interim, Eddie Murphy made the marginally better Showtime and started fishing for a career revival that wasn't a sequel to his previous hits. In the satirical, lunar-colony hash of Pluto Nash, Murphy's a variant of Casablanca'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 Men in Black II). A visual hybrid of Total Recall and A.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 humor. He's got the chops of a superstar, but only when his collaborators are on the same page. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great sci-fi, slapstick comedy
OK, so it's not "The Twelth Night", Eddie Murphy is good for some laughs in a gangster comedy set in the Moon colonies of the future. Rosario Dawson is a great, down-to-earth (Luna?) foil to Murphy's brand of humor and energy. John Cleese's role is small, but brilliantly executed. The Scottish crooner will have you shaking your head, but that's OK.
The whole sci-fi element was forced, with jokes and visual gags about life on the moon and in the future that felt 'stuck-in' at the last ... Read More
Rating:  - One of the worst movies ever
One of the worst most unwatchable movies of all time. Right up there with I Dreamed of Africa, Battlefield Earth, Redneck Zombies, Fresh Horses and Zohan. I really hope the upcoming "Dave" movie is a whole lot better than this.
I liked the name of the film; I guess that's why I'm giving it one star, that, and I had to.
Rating: - nightclub on the moon
The Adventures of Pluto Nash DVD
The Adventures of Pluto Nash stars Eddie Murphy as an ex-con who owns the most successful nightclub on the moon circa 2,087. He runs into trouble when he refuses to sell out to the Mob.
If you like Eddie Murphy's brand of humor then you'll enjoy this movie. Recommended for fans of Eddie Murphy.

Rating: - The Movie is Kick!
Granted the film is not state of the art sci-fi, it does have many funny scenes with a good story line and yes, some cornball stuff. It pokes fun at the hard core space films using robots and updating robots. It is a fun film not a film for serious film critics or hitech sci-fi fans. The film is clean of language and sex that is all too common in today's films and, the film does not really need them.
If you are looking for a non-typical fun film to kick back and watch, Pluto Nash can ... Read More
