Details

David Hyde Pierce, playing an alien (credited as infinity-cubed in the opening credits), narrates a courtship in a late-20th century American city as an extraterrestrial nature documentary. The relationship "footage" is played straight, while the voice-over (with its most often wildly inaccurate theories) and elaborate visual metaphors add comedy.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
thesatori Obviously not to be taken very seriously (it is a comedy ;) ), this movie does make many good points, and describes fairly well the difference in how the respective genders perceive relationships - in an entertaining manner, from start to finish :) While not a movie of a grand cinematic scale (it could have been made 10 years prior to its making without much apparent difference), it sure took me by surprise. The acting is fair, the story is alright, and the documentary-comments and the weirdness in between give it that little extra to make it hilarious.Anyone who knows what procreation is and who has a good sense of humor would definitely enjoy this movie.I gave it 8/10 due to how original it is, how so many of the comments ring true, and for the fact that it was That entertaining.
SevenKal-ElGuiry I watched this last night on sex TV, (its not all porno movies, i watch it very little, i'm a huge fan of David Hyde Pierce, i looked at the info box, saw his name and i was hooked, i've heard about it before, little nudity and swearing ( i don;t see the point in nudity in comedy movies). i love the voice overs, and the humor that David puts in to it. great work. i hope that David does have another hit show. now i'm just filling up space, damn 10 line min.i give it a 5 out of 7. don't like what i say, come here closer and i'll say it again.seven
eXperto WOW! it's a very nice movie! a must see, a lot of comedy but makes us see our lives from a different point of view! a point of view of an alien, he could better understand us than ourselves.A woman likes to see one person dying slowly. A man like to see a lot of persons dying quickly.That's the human movies preference from the point of view of the alien. I think the guy is right!A woman would like to see a movie for a small cute child dying with cancer, while a man would like to see a huge meteoroid hitting the planet earth :)
Elswet This movie is great fun. Especially when viewed within a gathering of 20-something's. Just sit back and watch'em squirm! The narrator has a dead-pan voice which actually makes this mocumentary all the more amusing. The sequences of sperm running full tilt and SPLAT!-ting into the wall are hilarious!While this is not necessarily just for mature audiences, the extraterrestrial anthropologist gives you an outside peep into the human dating scene. So use your own discretion.This attempt is wonderfully entertaining, and delivers a witty, wry sense of humor in higher than MST3K style. We completely enjoyed this production, and watch it often.It rates an 8.3/10 from...the Fiend :.
