TNT RoughCutGraham Verdon
With Gary Shandling appearing in just about every scene, only fans of his trademark whiny, disinterested delivery and sexist un-political correctness have a hope of enjoying his new film.

Garry Shandling is poignant and hilarious as an alien stud. Read full review

Washington PostDesson Thomson
Has its sinfully funny moments. Funny, that is, if you appreciate a certain cynical clamminess -- or Buck Henry seediness -- to your comedy. Read full review
