I'm not sure what this movie was even trying for. It's set up like a comedy, except that not one funny thing happens, and it's just too goofy to be considered an adventure. Basically it's just a mess.This movie was released in 2002, but people were trying to make it since 1987, and it looks like all the sets were designed at the beginning. The whole thing looks like an 80s music video. This movie cost $100M (!) and it looks like cheap made for video junk.First of all, it takes place on the Moon, but that's not really relevant at all. I don't expect a movie like this to get the physics right, but they seem to believe gravity is related to air pressure. When people are outside in space suits, they float around in slow motion, but when they're inside, everything behaves like they're on Earth. There are lots of cameos, from Pam Grier to John Cleese, and they all looked like they waited for the check to clear before showing up and lazily reading their parts. I honestly believe John Cleese recorded his part from home. There's a plot of sorts, but it's really just an excuse to have people chase Eddie Murphy and Rosario Dawson.Not so bad it's good, just an hour and a half you won't get back. Skip it.

The Adventures Of Pluto Nash (2002)Plot In A Paragraph: In the future, a night club owner tries to keep the mob from taking over his bar. What a mess. It lacks adventure and is not funny or interesting. I can only assume by the the talent in the cast (Murphy, Rosario Dawson, Burt Young, Randy Quaid, Joe Pantolino, Luis Guzman, Peter Boyle, John Cleese, Pam Grier and James Rebhorn) that at some point this movie was decent on paper, and read funny. Then it was botched on it is way to the big screen. The potential was there.Ron Underwood directed one of my favourite movies in City Slickers and a movie I really, really enjoy in Tremors. Was he hampered by meddling producers or studio execs?? Who knows!! But this is some uninspired directing. A prime example is I watched an episode of the tv show Seaquest DSV with Roy Schieder before this movie, and that TV effort from 1993 was better directed, and had better effects. As for Murphy, he is on autopilot. Rosario Dawson, is bland (but not as bad as she was in Men In Black 2) and she had zero chemistry with Murphy. As shown in Seven Pounds, she is a talented actress, John Powell actually gives the movie a much better score than it deserves!! The movie had actually been sitting on a shelf for two years before finally being released in 2002. It was an extremely expensive movie starring a big Hollywood star. But it was so bad, the studio waited two years to release it. After viewing the movie, Alex Baldwin insisted on being uncredited, whilst Murphy refused to promote the film, and stated that the money is the only reason he took the role. In absolute terms, this movie made the largest financial loss of any movie to date, with a budget of $100 million and a total US gross of $4.41 million (loss of $95.59 million) and a lifetime worldwide gross of $7,103,973 for a total loss of $92,896,027
