Famous flop isn't agonisingly awful just bewilderingly dull. Eddie Murphy runs a club on the moon, crosses with some gangsters and goes on the run. The film could've taken place on Earth. They do some moon stuff like Murphy's bodyguard being an android (Randy Quaid) and they go outside every now and then but it's not very sci fi. It's not very anything - not funny.
Rosario Dawson smiles and does her best but is just the Girl. Jay Mohr does a turn, so does Ileanna Douglas.
I can see where the money went - on sets and effect - but it was not needed. At times, with its chasing around on a foreign planet, I was reminded of Total Recall. It's not as good but it what passed through my head.
