The Movie Cricket:
All about flicks by Sean P. Means

How bad can it be?
There was an inkling that "Meet Dave" may be a bad movie when the regional studio rep first reported there would be no pre-screening - but later relented.

Then came the news that the movie's star, Eddie Murphy, stayed away from his own premiere Tuesday night. (Eric D. Snider comments on this at Cinematical.)

The Cricket's review of "Meet Dave" will be posted online Friday, but here's a hint: When the star and director of "Norbit" reunite, what do you think will happen?

(While you're contemplating that philosophical quandary, check out this commentary on Murphy's career by the Arizona Daily Star's Phil Villareal, featuring this brilliant opening: "Six Flags should commission a ride based on Eddie Murphy's career.")

Cricket, don't you mean "Academy Award nominated Norbit?"
