Starring Eddie Murphy, Elizabeth Banks and Gabrielle Union Directed by Brian Robbins Dave Ming Chang (Murphy), 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. Inside “Dave” is a crew of well-trained miniature people, directing Dave's every action and conversation. But as those inside Dave begins to experience interactions and emotions, Dave starts changing – from the inside out.
