Where to Watch Down to Earth
Down to Earth Ratings & Reviews
- Really CoolJanuary 18, 2026Absolute blassic. I watched this in theatres 25 years ago. Recently saw a clip about it on YouTube and gave it another go. It didn't disappoint.
- Michael JohnsonDecember 18, 2025Down to Earth just didn’t land for me. The jokes rarely hit, and the humor felt forced instead of natural. Even with a fun premise, it never really becomes funny, making the whole movie feel flat and forgettable.
- Mister ArnMay 5, 2025“Here Comes Mr. Jordan” had a light touch and sincere charm that grounded its fantasy. “Down to Earth” tries to recapture that magic, offering some laughs with the premise of a Black man in a wealthy white body, but it overreaches. Despite the setup, it lacks the emotional weight to make it resonate.
