Average Rating: 
Rating:  - I laughed, but it's not brilliant or anything
I really liked the way the jokes came across in What Planet Are You From?
Lots of weiner jokes that were used creatively and even somewhat intelligently, NOT horribly and obvious. The way the "alien" would come up to women and demand having sex with them because it was his job to have a baby with a woman and bring the baby back to his home alien world was VERY funny to me. Of course it wasn't believable in ANY way, and it wasn't supposed to be.
I'm very surprised the ... Read More
Rating:  - Not As Bad as Everyone Thinks
I was a big fan of Shandling in the 1980's and especially of "It's Garry Shandling's Show" on Showtime. I have not really kept up with his career, but when I saw "Planet" playing on Cinemax, I had to give it a try. It was nice to see him on screen again.
Though I'm not a fan of romantic comedies by any means, I enjoyed this film. Garry is his usual self and Annette Benning - who I had no opinion whatsoever before - did a fine job. It's a cute film and what I would term a "sophisticated ... Read More
Rating: - Cute and not even mildly offensive
Gary had a late nite show on in the past which I found funny. But I like off kilter, but I didn't get Andy Kaufman, go figure. Gary does the same droney voice schitck in this movie too, but it works. I guess the producers caught Annette Benning between pregnancies and figured her "star power" would draw the crowds. Gary reminds me of that guy that does the "clear eye" commercials, that same droney voice. I guess they both attended the same "droney voice class" at comedy school. Enjoy!
Rating:  - Oh my goodness what a shocker!!
I cannot for the life of me understand why people are giving this film more than 1 star. It is truly one of the worst films I have ever seen! Why a stellar cast such as this would come on board this project is beyond me, and how such a great director (or so I thought) managed to make such a bad film is only explained by the woeful script. It's a stinker. Really. PS - and what's with Garry Shandling? Who thought it was a good idea to cast him in a leading role?
Rating: - Remake not as good as original
This is a remake of the 1962 movie, Visitor From A Small Planet, starring Jerry Lewis which won Best Film at the Cannes Film Festival. I thought Lewis did a better job as the space alien who is beamed on board a commercial airliner.
