The Mating Habits Of The Earthbound Human -1999... • Recent & Popular

That film was The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human .

Consider this gem of narration as Billy gets ready for a date: “The male will now attempt to conceal his natural odor, which, in his species, is a potent signal of fear and desperation. He applies a chemical solution… often called ‘Aspen’ or ‘Cool Water.’ To the female, this signals: ‘I am financially stable enough to purchase scented toxins.’” The humor is not mean-spirited. It is anthropological. By removing the social filters we take for granted, Abugov reveals the essential absurdity of human romance. Why do we stare at our reflections for twenty minutes before a date? Why do we pretend we haven’t memorized their MySpace page (or in 1999, their AOL profile)? The Mating Habits Of The Earthbound Human -1999...

If you enjoy Best in Show , Waiting for Guffman , or the early work of Christopher Guest, this film is a lost cousin. If you are tired of glossy, predictable rom-coms where the third act is a race to an airport, this film is a palate cleanser. And if you have ever sat across from a date, listening to them talk about their job, and thought: “We are just two mammals performing a script written before we were born” — then this film will feel like a mirror.
