This whimsical sex comedy presents itself as an alien documentary on the rituals and habits of terrestrial romance. Featuring Mackenzie Astin (The Last Days of Disco) and a tightly clad Carmen Electra (from the once-popular TV show Baywatch) as the Male and Female, the movie's at its best when the alien's commentary (voiced with supercilious aplomb by David Hyde Pierce, Wolf, Frasier) misinterprets flirting behavior at nightclubs. The jokes grow thinner as dating turns into a relationship (and the humor's perspective is decidedly male). Still, there are moments of wit, and the overall tone of The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human is more silly than smarmy, which sets it apart from most of the sex comedy genre. Also featuring Lucy Liu (Charlie's Angels). --Bret Fetzer

Great Movie! March 2, 2009
A. Boehner (Maine)
I watched this movie on a whim just because of the interesting title and it ended up being such a funny movie! I highly recommend it!
Best Dating Movie EVER! February 13, 2009
W. R. Doar III (Columbia, SC)
This movie, now 10 years old, is the BEST dating movie ever! It is a mock-umentary narrated by David Hyde Peirce with an unexpected cast. We have SO many roving comments in our lives now thanks to this movie!
So Bad it's Good March 4, 2008

As long as you pretend you are watching National Geographic or the Discovery Channel this stuff is awesome. The acting is incredibly terrible, yet adds to the quirky charm of this offbeat movie about human sexual behavior. The "alien" narrator, who is never seen, (a la "National Geographic" narrator) saves the film from being mediocre trash by giving deadpan explanations for the behavior of the "mated pair." Of course the explanations are usually wrong and funny. The humor in this movie is aimed mostly at the male ego, although I'm sure there are some women who will find this movie funny as well. If you like Kevin Smith movies you will find this funny as well. (at least the first time you watch it.) P.S. Watch this with friends, don't endure this alone.

Alien's view of the human dating and mating game. When you look at it from that viewpoint we do some really wierd and funny stuff. 'Alien' commentary throughout. Hilarious, but not for younger teenagers.

Yesterday, 11/02/07, this movie brightened a dull day for me. If only someone other than Carmen Electra had played the lead female role! Mackenzie Astin, other reviewers to the contrary, was just right as the testosterone-driven male lead. Carmen Electra looked too old and worn for her part. Nonetheless, this is a good deal better than a great many Hollywood comedies of more recent vintage. Though the idea is an almost obvious one, it comes to life because of the clever script. It IS better than most of Woody Allen. Thank goodness no one had the poor judgment to cast Jim Carrey in the male lead. Astin's character has to be played, as he does it, naively and innocently jn order for the movie not to seem overly contrived. Where has Astin's career gone?
