"Dave Ming Chang, newly arrived in New York City, may be the ultimate fish out of water. There’s something about him that’s not quite right – for starters, he seems remarkably out of place and uncomfortable in his own body. And for good reason: “Dave” is not a man at all, but a ship made in the image of its miniature-sized captain."Movie type: Comedy - This is a silly sci-fi comedy that is a showcase for star Eddie Murphy. While the concept has some kid appeal, some gay-themed humor will give some parents some pause.

Reviews:
“Below Average If only the movie had heeded its own advice and tried to be different from the standard formula. We might have enjoyed the powerful force of this big star and his gift for physical comedy if the movie offered fresh scenarios and fewer predictable jokes.” USA Today
“Above Average But aside from some unnecessarily crude stereotypes, Eddie Murphy's least-painful comedy in years has a certain peculiar charm.” TV Guide Online
“Average Occasionally funny, but essentially an extended, repetitive out-of-towner sight gag.” Newsday
