Every time Eddie Murphy appears in a new movie there is always the hope that it will be a return to form and not another cinematic abomination that makes you want to run a cheese grater over your eyeballs just for something to do. It would be unfair to judge his latest, Meet Dave, before seeing the final product, but unless they saved all the best stuff for the cinema, this trailer suggests it's not going to be the former.
The idea, which is basically Numbskulls: The Movie, is a good one. Big Eddie Murphy is actually a ship crewed by a number of very small people, lead by a very little Eddie Murphy using an extremely annoying voice. But this trailer finds nothing remotely amusing to do with the concept. The best it can come up with is people falling out of his nose.
On the plus side, it also stars Elizabeth Banks. We're not sure she holds the power to balance out this equation, but by god she's trying.
