    I'm a tough critic. And this movie, though a colossal bomb, is both extremely intelligent and funny as hell. Some of the comedy is broad and physical, but most of it is actually dry and sophisticated. Maybe that's what threw the reviewers. And the American public. It shouldn't have. But then, some people don't think Albert Brooks (the early movies) are funny.

    One of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Makes a brilliant play on man's insecurities as viewed from an alien.

    I think the critics were just too hard. Loosen up. It was hilarious. That's all there is to it.

    The buildup to social criticism in what at first appears to be pointless and partly misogynist exploitation is subtly impressive.

    Shandling comes off as a sleazebag -- all that's missing are the gold chains, tufted chest hair and English Leather.
  3. Sporadically funny, often strange and almost never poignant.
