Reviews for The Adventures of Pluto Nash
It's not funny, it's not romantic, it's not exciting, it's not for children, it's not remotely interesting.
If there really was a merciful God, the film negatives would have been burnt to a crisp in a freak accident. No such luck.
Flotsam in the sea of moviemaking, not big enough for us to worry about it causing significant harm and not smelly enough to bother despising.
(Supposedly) its release has been held up for nearly two years because of its complicated visual effects. Yeah, right: And the moon is made of green cheese.
¿Qué se puede esperar de una cinta en *la Luna* donde el malo se llama Rex *Crater*?
