Part of me wanted to laugh but part of me sat there and was thinking...why am I watching this?!?! I need to see this from the beginning, jumped in from almost a quarter of the way in. Nothing like I have ever seen before.
Horribly, horribly bad. Why would David Hyde Pierce agree to have anything to do with this film???
This movie is awesome. I love how David Hyde Pierce narrates as though this is a typical "national geographic" type show... a whole documentary. Carmen is hot! This movie cracks me up every time I see it! (I also own this one!)
a comical, entertaining mocku-mentary.. its hilarious how complex mating is for humans, as compared to mammals who 'just do it'.. loved the race track illustrations!
Actually, a decent chick flick... except my chick didn't like it and left half-way through. Otherwise it was fairly bearable and kinda funny.
Entertaining, quirky nature-mockumentary dealing with a couple and their relationship.

The premise for this film is hysterical, yet quite a few of the jokes will fall flat, although most of them hit the spot. Fortunately though, the film is saved by it's clever writing and the actual drama itself is a little more entertaining and funny than you would be lead to believe. And of course, I can't complain about Carmen Electra...

It takes a commical and honest look at human relationships. It might be hard to find but worth it because ...

It takes a commical and honest look at human relationships. It might be hard to find but worth it because it will surely make you laugh.
I liked what they were trying to do, more than the movie itself. It's a narative about how screwed up it is for people to have sex. It's so much crazy crap, whereas animals just do it. You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals, so let's do it like... (read more) I liked what they were trying to do, more than the movie itself. It's a narative about how screwed up it is for people to have sex. It's so much crazy crap, whereas animals just do it. You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel.
I thought this would be a B grade comedy when I saw the DVD box - but this is a really enjoyable crazy comedy!! The 'alien' observations about some human stupidity are not far from the truth too :)
