A major critical and box office failure, the film was critically panned. Grossing just $7.6 million worldwide against its $100 million budget, The Adventures of Pluto Nash is notable for being one of the biggest box office bombs in the history of cinema.

Plot[edit]

In 2080, there is a colony on the Moon called Little America. Retired smuggler and ex-convict Pluto Nash (Eddie Murphy) buys a nightclub in an attempt to fulfill his long-time wish and also to prevent the murder of the club's previous owner Anthony Frankowski (Jay Mohr) by mobsters Gino (Burt Young) and Larry (Lillo Brancato). With the help of Miguel (Miguel A. Núñez Jr.) and an android named Bruno (Randy Quaid), Pluto rebuilds it into a very popular nightclub.

Seven years later in 2087, a young woman named Dina Lake (Rosario Dawson), the daughter of a friend of Nicky Sticks, is stranded on the Moon and tries to earn money for transport back to Earth. Pluto gives her a job as a server. Pluto is accosted by Mogan (Joe Pantoliano) and Kelp (Victor Varnado), henchmen of mysterious entrepreneur Rex Crater, who wants to buy the club. When Pluto refuses, the henchmen destroy the club. Pluto, Dina, and Bruno manage to escape.

Pluto's friend Rowland (Peter Boyle), a retired police detective who is a friend of his mother's, learns that Rex Crater has associates linked to human cloning. While Pluto and Dina investigate further, Crater's assassins strike, but Pluto and Dina escape by hijacking a limo driven by a holographic chauffeur.

Their investigation further links Zoroaster Marucci (Alec Baldwin) to Crater. They are again attacked and chased by Crater's henchmen, but they escape and are then rescued by Felix Laranga (Luis Guzmán), a local smuggler who idolizes Pluto Nash. They infiltrate Crater's casino/hotel at Moon Beach.

Pluto finally confronts Crater, who reveals himself to be a clone of Pluto. Crater has shot both Marucci and Dr. Runa Pendankin into orbit and established his own criminal enterprise. When Morgan and Kelp arrive, Crater kills them for their incompetence. He and Pluto then fight, with Crater ultimately being thrown through a window to his death.

Sometime later, a celebration is held at the rebuilt Club Pluto with Nash as the owner.

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

The Adventures of Pluto Nash was critically panned. Rotten Tomatoes ranked the film 79th in the 100 worst 2000s decade movies list,^[3] with a rating of 4% based on 90 reviews. The critical consensus states, 'The Adventures of Pluto Nash is neither adventurous nor funny, and Eddie Murphy is on autopilot in this notorious box office bomb.'^[4] On Metacritic, it holds a 12 out of 100 based on 12 reviews, meaning “overwhelming dislike”. Joe Leydon was one of the few critics to give it a positive review calling it 'a prodigious popcorn flick that may be the most undeserving victim of critical overkill since Town and Country'.^[5]

Pluto Nash was nominated for five Golden Raspberry Awardsin 2003 including Worst Picture, Worst Actor (Eddie Murphy), Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Screen Couple (Murphy and himself cloned), but failed to win any. It was later nominated for Worst Comedy of Our First 25 Years at the 25th Golden Raspberry Awards in 2005, but lost to Gigli.

Eddie Murphy poked fun at himself in an interview with Barbara Walters, saying, 'I know the two or three people that liked this movie.'^[6]

About the movie's reception, Joe Pantoliano said: 'You usually can’t tell when a movie is going to be shit, but on that one you could. And I think Ron Underwood, the director, got victimized by that, because that guy is good. But because of the material and the style in which some players came to work, we were off the mark, you know? A lot of hanky-panky going on there. So, I wasn’t surprised. I was surprised it turned out to be better than I thought it was going to be.' ^[7]

In a 2019 interview with Joy Reid and Jerry Seinfeld, Murphy said he doesn't think any of his characters in any of his movies were like the 'real' him, but sarcastically said that Pluto Nash was closest.^[8]
