Critics' reviews

"Actually, as Eddie Murphy PG comedies go, Meet Dave isn't bad. In fact, it's kind of sweet, innocent almost – kid-friendly in the best sense."

Stephen Cole: The Globe and Mail
"Aside from some unnecessarily crude stereotypes, Eddie Murphy's least-painful comedy in years has a certain peculiar charm."

Ken Fox: TV Guide
"'Meet Dave' feels a little too cuddly and familiar to be more than a programmatic summer kids' movie"

LA Weekly
"Aimed squarely at the same family audiences that flocked to Murphy's "Doctor Dolittle" comedies, this is a lightly amusing and surprisingly sweet Fox release."

Joe Leydon: Variety
"If only the movie had heeded its own advice and tried to be different from the standard formula."

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"Isn't likely to win Murphy another Oscar nomination, but it allows him to do what he does best - loads of physical comedy."

Ruthe Stein: SFGATE
"'Meet Dave' isn't great, but it's good enough. And it proves once again that Murphy can do anything - even a PG comedy in which he isn't a donkey."

Carrie Rickey: Philadelphia Inquirer
"On just about every occasion in Meet Dave, Murphy appears to be on the verge of cracking himself up. This is good news. At least someone found him funny."

Wesley Morris: Boston Globe
