The Adventures of Pluto Nash is one of those films in whose case you can’t believe there wasn’t a seven-year-old kid behind the camera. But here that’s especially disappointing, given the acting potential in the episodic roles. Sometimes even stellar actors can’t help.

Eddie Murphy was considered a significant talent in the American comedy scene in the early 80s. He had the gift of spontaneity, improvisation, and quick wit. He acted as an untamed force and seemed to have the potential for a long and successful career in the film industry. However, alas, after several successful movies, he took part in films that instead caused confusion and eventually elicited painful sneers. Eddie did not show good judgment and eagerly embarked on projects that seemed to spell trouble from a distance, and his self-confidence bordered on arrogance. Pluto Nash is a perfect example of what buried his ambitions. It's an unfunny comedy where extravagance meets tackiness and there is nothing to hold onto. A desperately dysfunctional, boring film. Overall impression: 10%.
