Mike Nichols was an exceptional director, he made several masterpieces such as "The Graduate", "Carnal Knowledge", "Catch-22", "The Day of the Dolphin", "Silkwood", etc., creating great roles for exceptional actors such as Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, Jack Nicholson, Ann-Margret, Candice Bergen, Alan Arkin, Martin Balsam, George C. Scott, Meryl Streep, Kurt Russell, etc. This "What Planet Are You From?" is a light comedy in which we see other acting performances, first of all Annette Bening and Ben Kingsley, then John Goodman, Greg Kinnear, Linda Fiorentino and Richard Jenkins. Garry Shandling, who is also the co-author of the script, the protagonist of the film, seems to me not only unsuitable for the role and for the film, but even for the profession of an actor. There is also a Harmony Smith in distribution, which has a more than harmonious ass. Not to mention Linda Fiorentino's ass: top quality! If the film has some boring lengths, it is worth seeing only because of these two beauties, who would have deserved more consistent roles... But as Shandling was also the co-author of the script and one of the film's producers, he allocated his the most screen time.
