What critics compared The Adventures of Pluto Nash to
I mean, here we have a sequel to a mediocre Eddie Murphy comedy that didn’t even measure up to the standards of the star of The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) and Norbit (2007).
Though this isn't a science fiction folly quite as bad as Battlefield Earth or The Adventures of Pluto Nash , it's still rammed with an incomprehensible plot, off-key performances and a script that blurts out lines as ridiculous as "bees are genetically programmed to recognise royalty".
Every few summers something like this appears — “The Adventures of Pluto Nash,” “Evolution,” “R.I.P.D.,” “The Watch.”
Can you think about “Battlefield Earth” or “Ishtar” or “Waterworld” or “The Adventures of Pluto Nash” — with a net loss amounting to 94 percent of its production cost, pretty much the all-time dog — without laughing?

A dependable director (Underwood, who had a good track record with City Slickers and Tremors), helmed this shoddy and garishly galactic bomb.
Directed by the underwhelming Ron Underwood, who had a hit in 1990 with "Tremors" and not since, it's extremely lame but that's all right, because it's too long also.
