Dave Ming Chang (Eddie Murphy), newly arrived in New York
City, may be the ultimate fish out of water. There's something about him that's
not quite right – for starters, he seems remarkably out of place and
uncomfortable in his own body. And for good reason: "Dave" is not a man at all,
but a ship made in the image of its miniature-sized captain. It's Eddie Murphy
in Eddie Murphy in "Meet Dave."
EN 5 Second Review:
Another throwaway Eddie Murphy comedy, its time to
either stop doing movies, or go back to action comedies Eddie.
DVD
extras: Gag reel, crew confessions.
Blu-ray extras:
Crew profiles, alternate ending, "The Making of Meet Dave," "Fox Movie
Channel Presents ... Life After Film School With Director Brian Robbins,"

themselves with a performance and scenario that might have been
