Critics Consensus: Easy gags and slack direction drag this occasionally clever alien-out-of-planet comedy down to unimaginative lows.

Richard Propes

A disappointment from an actor who has recently shown the world he's capable of mighty fine acting.

I might even go out on a limb and actually say that Meet Dave is, um, good.

I'm sure a more refined filmmaker could've squeezed the premise tighter for sophisticated laughs, but as family-angled sci-fi comedies go, Dave is actually quite agreeable. Who knew Murphy still had some fun left in him?
