What Planet Are You From? Reviews

…a truly awful comedy…trying to create a sci-fi analogue for men’s inability to understand women, but ends up just embodying the quality it’s supposedly trying to satirise….

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 18, 2024

Shandling's a bland black hole that obliterates whatever trace of energy or inspiration mustered by this unwieldy film.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 8, 2010

It all seems to suffer from jet lag and a lame script and a bad case of crassness.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 14, 2009

The movie offers not one shred of insight, comic or otherwise, into the eternal conflict between the sexes.

There are some amusing cameos and small parts and a number of very good one liners, but by god, this is really a shame.

Lightweight material to be sure, but it's fun just the same.

| Original Score: short | May 1, 2001

One of the most honest comedies I can remember ... connected with my unusual sense of humor.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 27, 2001

This movie wants to be sweet and dark at the same time, but it is as distant as a planet's satellite.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

The story jumps around too much, wasting good performances from Kinnear, Fiorentino and Goodman.

Shandling and director Mike Nichols find a funny new way of packaging the old truth in What Planet Are You From?

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

[Nichols] gives Shandling his best-ever framework to deliver material that, though not out of this world, is at least down to Earth.

The only eruption this movie evokes is a loud yawn.
