 "It's everything you don't go to the movies for."
-- Ethan Alter, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
"It is a comedy that's not very funny and an action movie that is not very thrilling (and an uneasy alliance, at that)."
-- Gregory Avery, NITRATE ONLINE
"In terms of execution this movie is careless and unfocused."
-- Marjorie Baumgarten, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"What happened with Pluto Nash? How did it ever get made?"
-- Josef Braun, VUE WEEKLY (EDMONTON, CANADA)
"Very stupid and annoying."
-- James Brundage, FILMCRITIC.COM
"No worse than a lot of the crap we've been offered this summer, and slightly better than Men in Black 2 as far as slapdash extraterrestrial comedies go."
-- Sean Burns, PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY
"This is the first film I've ever seen that had no obvious directing involved."
-- Rose 'Bams' Cooper, 3BLACKCHICKS REVIEW
"Rarely has so much money delivered so little entertainment."
-- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"This is a fudged opportunity of gigantic proportions -- a lunar mission with no signs of life."
-- Danny Graydon, BBCI FILMS
"It’s not only dull because we’ve seen [Eddie] Murphy do the genial-rogue shtick to death, but because the plot is equally hackneyed."
-- Forrest Hartman, RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL
"There's a reason the studio didn't offer an advance screening. "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" is a big time stinker."
-- Beth Jones, ROANOKE TIMES (VIRGINIA)
"All prints of this film should be sent to and buried on Pluto."
-- Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel, 3BLACKCHICKS REVIEW
"Don't even bother to rent this on video."
-- Eric Lurio, GREENWICH VILLAGE GAZETTE

"While the film misfires at every level, the biggest downside is the paucity of laughter in what’s supposed to be a comedy."
-- Gary Brown, HOUSTON COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS
"It's one long bore."
-- Jeffrey Bruner, DES MOINES REGISTER
"Movie fans, get ready to take off...the other direction."
-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)
"...an hour-and-a-half of inoffensive, unmemorable filler."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"The Adventures of Pluto Nash is a whole lot of nada."
-- Cynthia Fuchs, POPMATTERS
"The great pity is that those responsible didn't cut their losses – and ours – and retitle it The Adventures of Direct-to-Video Nash, and send it to its proper home."
-- Ken Hanke, MOUNTAIN XPRESS (ASHEVILLE, NC)
"This film biggest problem? No laughs."
-- JoBlo, JOBLO'S MOVIE EMPORIUM
"Aspires to the cracked lunacy of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, but thanks to an astonishingly witless script ends up more like The Adventures of Ford Fairlane."
-- Mark Keizer, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
 "May be the most undeserving victim of critical overkill since Town and Country."
-- Joe Leydon, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Dismally dull sci-fi comedy."
-- Paul Malcolm, L.A. WEEKLY

"A limp Eddie Murphy vehicle that even he seems embarrassed to be part of."
-- Kevin Courrier, GLOBE AND MAIL
"It might be the first sci-fi comedy that could benefit from a Three's Company-style laugh track."
-- Robert K. Elder, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"How on earth, or anywhere else, did director Ron Underwood manage to blow $100 million on this?"
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"There is nothing redeeming about this movie."
-- Daphne Gordon, TORONTO STAR
"This ill-conceived and expensive project winds up looking like a bunch of talented thesps slumming it."
-- Robert Koehler, VARIETY
"So unremittingly awful that labeling it a dog probably constitutes cruelty to canines."
-- Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST
"Sadly, though many of the actors throw off a spark or two when they first appear, they can't generate enough heat in this cold vacuum of a comedy to start a reaction."
-- Elvis Mitchell, NEW YORK TIMES
"A film made with as little wit, interest, and professionalism as artistically possible for a slummy Hollywood caper flick."
-- Wesley Morris, BOSTON GLOBE
"Even Murphy's expert comic timing and famed charisma can't rescue this effort."
-- Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"A listless sci-fi comedy in which Eddie Murphy deploys two guises and elaborate futuristic sets to no particularly memorable effect."
-- Jan Stuart, NEWSDAY

"Despite the premise of a good story ... it wastes all its star power on cliched or meaningless roles."
-- Jerry McCormick, SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
