I am fairly new on reviewing movies but I am a common reader of other reviews here at IMDb as a guideline on what to expect on an upcoming movie.
I wasn't very surprised to see another Eddie Murphy movie being rated that low when I checked for "Meet Dave" here at IMDb, but if I wouldn't have read the review of mordillo 92 from Australia, I would have missed a very entertaining comedy ( so thanks from here, mordillo ;D ) I wont write more about the movie as there have been some well written reviews in this thread already, but I am very glad I saw a good movie with Eddie Murphy again.
I also followed his career since the 80s when he was really great, and at some point I have to admit as well that he became less funny than in the beginning, which can have several reasons, like me getting older, humour changed, he got bad roles and stuff like this, but with "Meet Dave" he showed up again like some old friend I really missed - this movie suits him really good, and I am looking forward to see him again some time.
Sorry if this became an "Eddie Murphy" thread, but i had the feeling the whole movie was just rated on him, tho ..
Btw: I gave it a 9 just of the current stats, otherwise I would have sure give him a real 8 ;D
