Just saw it today.
For a simple film, it is actually good. So to me, it seems this film was hit with a case of "Actors we don't like". I am not sure what Murphy did to upset critics, but panning him directly is just so odd.
It's not a movie to hate, but it is ridiculously bland. Like, as beige as beige can be. Doesn't it rip off the plot of that feckless Haunting remake?

I didn't hate it either. I found it fairly enjoyable. But I do admit they could've put a bit more effort into it.

Oh yes it is. I've never hated a film I've seen in a cinema more than that one, except perhaps when Revenge Of The Fallen came along.
With cannon shot and gun blast smash the alien. With laser beam and searing plasma scatter the alien to the stars.
I dunno. I haven't seen it, but the idea of a movie centered around Eddie Murphy not talking does have a certain appeal.
Just awesome like that
How come?
I enjoyed A Thousand Words as well, I don't understand why critics hated it so much, i've seen much worse comedies(Year One and Your Highness anybody?) I've enjoyed most of Murphy's films(yes even Pluto Nash), ironically Dreamgirls, the only role he got a nomination for, is pretty much the only film of his that I don't like very much(Imagine That was also pretty mediocre). Murphy was good but the rest of the film left a lot to be desired, poor and forgettable musical numbers, and mostly weak acting from everyone other then Murphy and Hudson(IMO Beyonce is the absolute WORST actress of all time, she makes Mariah Carey look like Helen Mirren).
Beyonce Buttocks, sorry, Beyonce Boobs, sorry, Beyonce Knowles has a nice backside, nice boobs and can sing a little. If she looked like Alanis Morrisette yet still had the same talent as a singer she would be a nobody. If Alanis Morrisette had Beyonce's body and still had Alanis' singing talent, she would be making the world go "Lady who?"

But Beyonce does have Alanis' singing talent. On the rare occasion that she covers rock songs, they sound identical.
Anyway, I enjoyed Pluto Nash as well. I think the premise had some mileage in it, like Austin Powers.

Beyonce is great technically, but I don't get any emotion from her singing. Aside from the emotion of her being pissed off about something. She's great at that.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Admittedly I doubt she's in it for the art. She did sing for Qadaffi.

Huh. That...I didn't have the highest opinion of her in the first place, but now it's even lower.

Cage is awesome. I only criticize his selection in projects, as he'll take basically any script handed to him.
Fun, true Nic Cage story: My friend is an assistant director and has worked on a couple of Cage projects. In the Green Hornet, he was originally slated to play the villain, but got fired from set because he REFUSED to stop playing the character with a Jamaican accent, saying it would compromise his vision of the character.
