Yes it IS underrated.
Yes it is an underrated movie.Made at a time when it was fashionable to put down Ediie Murphy. With the Shrek franchise he could care less!

But I liked Bowfinger, Norbert and Dr Doolittle 1 and 2 ;and this is the best Sci Fi comedy since Galaxy Quest.

And since the worst review complains that Murphy acts like a "Character-less Robot", watch the film and then go "DOH!!!!".

A look at earth through the eyes of an alien
Arriving with a thud at the statue of liberty, an alien ship shaped like a human Eddie Murphy begins his adventure here on earth. He must learn to walk, talk, and interact with others in his quest to save his planet. Seeing the individual aliens on board "Dave" the space ship grow to like earth and its people despite the negatives is priceless.

This movie is for the family. Yes it has some childish potty and just silly humor but it has bigger good messages that kids will appreciate also. In some ways the growing bond between the boy in the movie and Dave reminded me of the Air Bud movie. Think of the alien kinda like a protective yet funny dog...with the intelligence of "ET" for quick learning.

This was one of those movies that I think the trailers they chose were the reason it didn't do well at the theaters. It has its sci-fi elements but is just not made for only that crowd as it isn't going after the hard core action fans (despite some nice special effects). If it had been marketed as a family movie of Dave, the boy, and the boy's mom, I believe it would have done well. Personally I found myself with lots to smile and laugh about but I didn't sit down to view Oscar material here...just a feel good movie.

Check it out for at least a rental if you like family movies and eddie murphy in those types of roles.

Clever Comedy
I rented it online. The movie had some good laughs I enjoyed the cast and they had a good chemistry. Main objective is to save the home planet by destroying earth. Along the way they see that all people aren’t bad and there still some good ones out there. Definitely worth renting if you are an Eddie Murphy fan and enjoy a good comedy. The only thing missing was Charlie Murphy.

Eddie fan
My kids loved this movie. Despite Eddie Murphy’s considerable talent, I didn’t expect much given some of his movies like Nutty Professor and Norbert, but I have to say Meet Dave was clever, funny and definitely entertaining. A perfect movie for a family night!

The Search is On!
Alright if you want to read reviews to find out what the movie is about look at others' reviews. I just want to tell you how me and my friends turned watching this movie into a drinking movie.

Do you remember the days of the Bob Newhart Show and how everyone played "Hi Bob"? Where everyone drank whenever they said "Hi Bob" and after 30 minutes you were blitzed.

Try a variation of this where everytime you see a boom microphone you drink. The same result will happen; by the end of the movie you will be drunk.

I cannot believe that it was such a prevalent error in this film, but us drinkers are reaping the rewards.

Thanks Eddie, those little guys are even more funny when you are hammered.

BOOM! Drink!

Hillarious
This is the best Eddie Murphy movie since Dr. Dolittle 1&2. this movie is hillarious. only Eddie murphy could come up with something like this, well i guess the only other person could do this movie is Jim Carrey. well all in all this movie was good.

Very Funny!!!
I received this as a Christmas present. I thought it was pretty good and very funny! Eddie Murphy plays a small alien Captain in a spaceship version of himself. He comes to earth looking for a rock that will take away the earth’s water supply. He befriends a boy named Josh and his mom, Gina. He observes humans and sees that they are mostly good. I love how he tried to be human. I highly recommend that you MEET DAVE!!!

A fun bit of fluff
Dave is a silly bit of fluff staring Eddie Murphy as both the ship (a ship shaped like a man in a white suit) and as the captain), a tiny 1-inch tall man. The ship and crew arrive on earth to drain the salt from Earth's oceans to save their homeworld. This is okay because earth is clearly a planet full of savages. However, as time passes and the crew of the ship becomes more attached to the 'giants' which surround them, they begin to reconsider their feelings on the matter.

I found this film kind of amusing. It isn't rocket science, and there are times when bathroom humor prevails (such as when the giant ship must dispose of food it has 'consumed' to look human). But this is probably something kids will enjoy.

Overall, I was amused enough to watch this film from beginning to end, although, I kind of wish we could've seen what happened to #2 Murphy's second in command, even if he did go a bit rambo at the end, he did have a bit of a point. Murphy's acting was amusing, and he really did a decent job of portraying the wooden, jerky and weird ship.
