HEFE'S REVIEW OF:
THE ADVENTURES OF PLUTO NASH

OPENING THOUGHTS

    Well, it is good to see that Eddie Murphy is sticking by his decision to make only crappy movies. Better make a another tally on your list. Man, you remember when Eddie Murphy was really funny on Saturday Night Live, and then he was in that great action series Beverly Hills Cop which was actually good through three movies! Then came a series of shit marked by a quick Nutty Professor and Dr. Dolittle hiccup, then came their horrible sequels, oh and who could forget more shit. Come on man, I know you can make a good movie, or at least make me laugh!!

ACTING

    EDDIE MURPHY was not really bad in this movie, but let's face it, he has never been the best actor. With his earlier films you could forgive this by concentrating on how funny he was. Now that is gone. Sometimes I wonder if Eddie even reads the scripts that he gets or just looks at how much money he will be making! You had better fix yourself fast man, you just got an F!
    RANDY QUAID was awful in this movie as the android sidekick. Normally I think Randy Quaid is pretty funny, he was good in the Vacation series and had some funny parts in Independence Day, but he was awful in this movie. As bad as his lines were he really needed to pick up the slack, but was unfortunately unable to do so.
    ROSARIO DAWSON is cursed I have decided. I don't really know where she came from all of the sudden but she is getting pretty big roles in movies with pretty big stars that suck! Men In Black 2 was awful, and now this, these are the only two movies of hers that I have seen, so it must be that she is cursed. It's not that she is even all that terrible at acting, but she's got the fecal touch.
    JOHN CLEESE was the best part of this movie. Him and Alec Baldwin I guess, but I am talking about John Cleese right now so get off my back! Anyways John Cleese provided a few much needed breaks from the shit storm that is The Adventures Of Pluto Nash. Now his parts may not have been perfect, but when you see the rest of the movie, you will think he deserves an Oscar compared to everything else. Thank you for your valiant effort John, that is why you still rule, now go rinse this movie off your hands with a little Monty Python, trust me you'll feel better!
    THE SUPPORTING CAST wasn't actually that bad, although the terrible dialogue and story might make you think otherwise. Luis Guzman sticks out in my mind as good, as well as Alec Baldwin. But again the writing was so bad. How on Earth did they get so many famous people to hop on board such a piece of crap? Why? Why? WHY?!

DIRECTION AND SCRIPT

    RON UNDERWOOD was at the helm of this crap, and managed to successful steer it right into the toilet. He seemed to bring out average performances, at best, from actors who usually need little prodding to be good. Not to mention the fact the this movie relied heavily on really crappy special effects. Man you suck really bad, and I would not be surprised if you never get another movie again.
    NEIL CUTHBERT sucks even more than Ron Underwood. In order for anything solid to be built, there has to be a strong foundation, and that foundation is always quality writing. There simply was no foundation, and the mistake was so monumentally obvious that the tower did not settle in to a lean for the world to laugh at, it fell over completely. Man, I loved that analogy, I wonder how many of you people knew that I was talking about the Leaning Tower of Piza just now? Anyway, the dialogue was awful, and the storyline was worse. Please never ever make another movie, ever. Please, I'll pay you 5 bucks to simply not even try.

THE VERDICT

    All in all this movie really sucked. I can't in good conscience recommend this movie to anyone. I really didn't even want to finish this movie, in fact it took a lot of convincing to fellow writer G-Baby not to turn the movie off in the middle. I know that it isn't fair to write off a movie unless I have seen all of it so I finished it. I hated this movie enough to watch the whole thing just so I could tell others not to waste their time. I bet I get awarded saint-hood soon! Hmmmm, St. Hefe, I like it!
