Better than average but not worth phoning home about.
Tim Grierson, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
Even for a high-concept, lowbrow summer release Meet Dave is drab, shoddy work.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Rotten
Watching Murphy robotically walk around the city does stir nostalgia for the brilliant SNL skit where he masqueraded as an uptight white guy, but that formidable comic actor is long gone.
Drew Toal, Time Out New York
Rotten
Even in C-movie junk like this, Murphy manages to wring a few laughs out of the material. But the humor is so broad it barely fits onto the screen.
