The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human

A How-To-Do-It Guide.

Rating 6.0 / 10Release September 3, 1999Runtime 90 min

David Hyde Pierce, playing an alien (credited as infinity-cubed in the opening credits), narrates a courtship in a late-20th century American city as an extraterrestrial nature documentary. The relationship "footage" is played straight, while the voice-over (with its most often wildly inaccurate theories) and elaborate visual metaphors add comedy.
