Variety
Aimed squarely at the same family audiences that flocked to Murphy's "Doctor Dolittle" comedies, this is a lightly amusing and surprisingly sweet Fox release. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
Meet Dave isn't great, but it's good enough. And it proves once again that Murphy can do anything - even a PG comedy in which he isn't a donkey. - 50
Chicago Tribune
The heartbreaking thing about Meet Dave...is its occasional funniness amid a sea of pablum. If it were completely rank, it'd be less frustrating. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Eddie Murphy's amusingly out of this world in this otherwise tired vehicle. - 50
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
There's no real wit or cleverness to the script. - 50
The New York Times
Though mildly amusing, Murphy's two characters in Meet Dave -- a wee captain and a humanoid spaceship -- neither tax nor stretch him. - 42
The A.V. Club
Proven comic talents like Judah Friedlander and Ed Helms make up much of Murphy's crew, but apart from speaking in contraction-free spaceman-ese, the film doesn't give them anything funny to do. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Pays lip service to the joys of exploring new worlds, but it never steps off the tour bus.
