I just saw this movie for the first time on TV. and it I did find it as bad as the box office made it out to be.Now don't get me wrong, this was far from the best movie. One thing I would like to say is that just in resent times (the last 4 month (date Nov, 27, 2005)) I can name 2 movies that were worse BY FAR!! Stealth and JarHead have to be 2 of the worse movies that I have ever seen. Anyways, I do see some of the points that people have made about this movie. I grew up in the 70's and 80's and like some one said this would have been a better success then. My main point is if I were to judge this move on the basis of the movies I have seen in the last year or so I would have given it a 8 out of 10.

Not Great, But Not A Total Loss
There's maybe one laugh (if you're lucky) in this universally-panned disaster, but that doesn't mean THE ADVENTURES OF PLUTO NASH is a complete loss. Eddie Murphy is the title character, a reformed felon operating the most successful club in the "Little America" part of the Moon. But after he turns down an offer to sell to a shyster for $10 million, the laser bullets begin flying in his direction. Now he and gal pal Rosario Dawson, along with robot bodyguard Randy Quaid, are on the run.
Murphy is generally appealing, but his comic touch just doesn't jive with the sci-fi environment. The plot is at times incoherent and suffers from trying to roll comedy, action and excitement all into one. It's kind of amazing this clunker ever made it beyond the idea phase, particularly with talents such as Murphy and director Ron Underwood (CITY SLICKERS) involved.
What does PLUTO NASH have going for it? Though it's supposed to be a comedy, it actually works to some degree as a sci-fi adventure. The massive $100 million budget and futuristic setting make for some interesting visuals. And the picture moves along at a fair pace, with a tidy running time of 95 minutes.
For all its flaws, I would not use the term "boring" to describe PLUTO NASH. Hollywood has done much better, but it's also done far worse.
A Movie with Great Budget, Actors, Actresses and Effects, Which Unfortunately Does Not Work Well
Pluto Nash (the decadent Eddie Murphy) is the owner of a successful club in the moon in 2080. A mobster wants to buy his club, threatens him exploding his club and trying to kill him. He will look for this gangster in another city in moon. This movie is amazing: a great budget, for the futuristic scenario (similar to Total Recall), special effects and good actors (Randy Quaid, Joe Pantoliano, Jay Mohr, Luis Gusmán, James Rebhorn, Alec Baldwin, Peter Boyle, John Cleese among others less known) and actresses (Pam Grier, Illeana Douglas, Rosario Dawson), mixes adventure, comedy and science fiction... but unfortunately it does not work. It is boring, the plot is terrible and full of clichés. The action in this flick is not exciting and only Eddie Murphy laughs of his jokes! A complete loss of time and money. My vote is five.
