Eddie Murphy in 2002 The Adventures of Pluto Nash
Summary Eddie Murphy recalls the harshest review he received of his 2002 flop The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Murphy took a break from family films to team with City Slickers director Ron Underwood for Pluto Nash, a $100 million sci-fi/comedy, co-starring Rosario Dawson, Randy Quaid and John Cleese.
Every critic in the world took their shot at The Adventures of Pluto Nash when it came out, but Murphy recalls one review that stood out as being the harshest of all, in an adorable anecdote he related recently to the New York Times. Check out his remarks below: What’s challenging is when you’re in a movie and the movie ain’t . That’s challenging: when you’re sitting in the screening room and you see the first print of “Pluto Nash.” I remember the first time we watched “Pluto Nash,” I had my son Myles with me. He was probably about 8. Myles is sitting there with me, and the movie’s all soft. Then at the end, it goes silent, and my little baby son goes, “Corny.” That was challenging. Even the baby knows it’s corny.
Where Does Pluto Nash Rank Among Eddie Murphy Critical Flops Myles Murphy was not alone in expressing disdain for The Adventures of Pluto Nash, a bizarre and misguided PG-13 sci-fi/comedy starring the elder Murphy as the owner of a nightclub on the moon in the year 2087. Corniness is perhaps the least of the movie’s problems, the bigger issue being Murphy’s own performance, which feels completely checked-out.
Given Pluto Nash’s reputation as one of the worst movies ever, it’s no surprise to see it ranking near the bottom of Murphy’s filmography on Rotten Tomatoes. But it’s not the worst Murphy film ever, according to the review aggregator. That honor goes to 2012’s A Thousand Words, Murphy’s failed attempt at a Jim Carrey-style high-concept comedy, which holds the rare distinction of sporting a 0% fresh rating.
