Funney movie: "The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human"

Protege Menace · 03-26-2004, 03:29 AM

So while siflting through a bunch of movies some other kid on my campus netowrk has, i happen across this movie and decide to watch it.

It is David Hyde Pierce (Niles) narrating some guy dating carmen electra

as if they were animals.

Lots of funnay in how they break down human dating/mating rituals and whatnot.

"They watch moving shadows in dark caves together. Human females enjoy stories about one person dying slowly (they are at a romance movie). The males prefer stories of many people dying quickly (war movie)."

its a 1999 B movie with a 6.5 IMDB rating http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165874/

SO far its a pretty damn good movie with enough funnA and hot chicks (carmen electra AND lucy liu).

Enough from me, here is an IMDB review of it:

Date: 4 January 2000
Summary: A good B Movie

Hey, this ain't crap. This is a surprisingly decent movie. Basically, the life and relationship of a couple is monitored by aliens. The film is a documentary of human mating habits as seen through extraterrestrial eyes. "The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human" is a comedy that works on several levels.

The narration by David Hyde Pierce is odd and funny. There is a lot of strange dialogue and clever comments that I do not see in mainstream comedies. It sometimes works well to actually make all humans look stupid. The witty narration does wear out after a while since it relies on one basic principle: The alien narrator misunderstands common everyday behaviors in the humans and instead makes up his own weird theories on what they are doing. So we will see a shot of someone doing something ordinary, but the narration will blow it out of proportion. The couple is relatively interesting and goes through some interesting phases in their relationship. The film often goes into detail as it touches on a number of situations. The acting is decent enough especially from Carmen Electra who shows that there's more to her than just looks. That babe is hot and here she makes herself look real cute. The funniest and most original moments occur when a group of men dressed in white, representing human sperm, race against each other, finishing in a different way each time, depending on the situation. This was footage filmed by the aliens in order to explain sex better. Even this gets a little tedious though.

"The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human" is not a bad movie considering the low budget and other constraints. The idea is original, bizarre, and often funny. I don't think I mentioned yet that Carmen Electra is hot. If you are going to see a corny B movie, this is not a bad idea. I was going to give it a 6 out of 10, but I think I'll give it an extra point for effort and potential. Overall, a 7 out of 10.

I reccomend you check it out
