Review:

There are three reasons that a film will stay on the shelf unreleased for years: First, there's financial troubles. Second, legal problems. Third: It sucks bigtime and everybody's gonna be embarrassed. Big time.

This is a number three situation.

You can tell this is a turkey from the title. Even in the future, nobody's going to name their kid Pluto. It sounds too much like the Jetsons. Now as to the movie itself. It's boring.

Pluto Nash is played by Eddie Murphy. He is, as he must be, a con artist fresh out of jail, when he saves his pal Tony Francis(Jay Mohr) from being offed by loan sharks on the Moon, this being 2080 and all.

 

So cut to seven years,later, and our hero has turned Tony's place into a major hotspot. One day, a certain Dina Lake(Rosario Dawson), a beautiful earthling who has traveled to the moon to further her singing ambitions comes into the club looking for work.

He gives her a job. The next day the villains arrive, and one of the more predictable chases start.

I like action movies. It's fun to watch things blow up and fun to watch chases, especially fast ones. But not here. I fell asleep.

Don't even bother to rent this on video
