Meet Dave Sci-fi comedy
It's a relief to know Eddie Murphy can still make us laugh. After last year's box-office bomb, Norbit, there was much scepticism over Murphy's choice to reunite with director Brian Robbins for the child-friendly, science-fiction romance Meet Dave.
But, with double roles in this movie, Murphy is back in his element.
First he plays a 5cm tall alien captain named Captain Dave, who is in charge of a crew of similarly tiny aliens on a quest for salt to save their planet. They plan to drain the world's oceans.
For camouflage, the aliens travel in a human-shaped spaceship named Davie, also played by Eddie Murphy.
Despite their super intelligence, the alien crew has no idea how to interact with humans, and their guides - Google and Yahoo - often lead them hilariously astray.
