The Adventures of Pluto Nash [Region 2]

Buy This Item The Adventures of Pluto Nash [Region 2]  Available from Amazon  $57.99  on 11-29-2008     <I>The Adventures of Pluto Nash</I> was shelved for nearly two years, and when it was finally released, hardly anyone noticed. In the interim, Eddie Murphy made the marginally better <I>Showtime</I> and started fishing for a career revival that wasn't a sequel to his previous hits. In the satirical, lunar-colony hash of <I>Pluto Nash</I>, Murphy's a variant of <I>Casablanca</I>'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 <I>Men in Black II</I>). A visual hybrid of <I>Total Recall</I> and <I>A.I.</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. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I> Reader Reviews 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 be just good clean fun.
