Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, January 30, 2003

By A Customer

I came across the ending of this movie a few years ago on cable and had to see the whole movie. It was on one more time that week and I finally watched the whole movie. It was so great, that I had to buy it. I cannot tell you how many times I have watched this. I love David Hyde Pierce's commentary. One more thing I have to mention, is that I am a female. Many other comments talk about "sitting around with the guys" but I laughed my A&& off. What a great way to look at our mating rituals. How very true!! Enjoy!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A unique and very funny look at human relationships, January 28, 2005

By	Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Wouldn't it be funny if someone made an "alien documentary" all about the mating habits of Earthlings? Well, somebody has. The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human takes you all the way through the entire mating ritual of two human beings, from their initial meeting in a bar (or "sacred meeting ground") to their first date, a number of mating practice sessions, and all the way up to the culmination of the whole mating process. Our trusty narrator (David Hyde Pierce) explains everything that happens along the way, providing some very funny comments that don't always match up exactly with what is taking place.

Mackenzie Astin plays the male who somehow attracts the female (Carmen Electra) despite the fact she is so far out of his league it isn't even funny - she's ready for a "nice guy" at this point of her life, and he basically just gets extremely lucky. He goes on to get extremely lucky a number of times over the course of the next year's time (although, strangely enough, there's no real nudity to speak of in the movie). The film is at its funniest early on, as the guy works up the courage to speak to the girl, proceeds to lose her phone number after waiting a few days to call her (following the instruction of his pack); the importance of the male and female packs in the whole mating ritual is delineated rather clearly here. After the early dating period evolves into a full-fledged relationship, the film loses a little bit of its humor. After about a half hour of the narrated commentary, the novelty of the thing begins to wear off a little bit at a time. The film also ends up going to the well too many times with some of its examples of the whole conception process. Additionally, a golden opportunity is wasted to some degree in the "meeting the parents" segments. Up until then, the relationship was pretty close to normal, but the two sets of parents are exceedingly stereotypical and definitely not normal. Then, of course, you have to have a break-up in there at some point, as well as the moment of truth when a certain something is not available at a critical time - you know what I mean.

I have to say I really enjoyed this film; aside from the whole parents thing, it wasn't nearly as stupid as I expected it to be. Many of the dating rituals really are rather silly, when you think about it. I think the film does tilt decidedly toward the male perspective after the relationship becomes a physical one, but I think women are just as likely to enjoy this movie as men are - although I daresay the guys will appreciate Carmen Electra much more than the gals will appreciate Mackenzie Astin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some habits are hard to break, March 27, 2004

By	D. Roberts "Hadrian12" (Battle Creek, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

What would you get if you crossed THE HITCHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY with THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY? Well, I would wager that the outcome would be something not dissimilar to this erotic farce of a movie!

The film is narrated by an alien observer and seems to take a few shots at anthropologists. So many times you see documentaries on the DISCOVERY channel where experts say that such-and-such people lived in "exactly" such-and-such a way. Perhaps I am wrong, but it would appear the writer of this story saw one-too-many cultural documentaries and decided to have a little fun.

Carmen Electra is good to her name as she electrifies the screen. Although this is the only movie I've ever seen her in, I must admit that she does seem to possess some decent acting talent - which is more than I can say for a great many "typecast" actresses.

If you're in the mood for a zany Romantic comedy, this one just might be worth a try. It covers our mating habits from beginning to end, and it includes all of the wonderful nonsense in between!
