action

Harold Anderson is an alien belonging to a civilization that has lost emotions and that practices cloning for reproduction . Therefore, the sexual organs of the aliens have regressed in the course of evolution. The alien civilization is led by Graydon. Anderson is selected in a training process and sent to earth to conceive children with an earthly woman, which should serve the conquest of the earth. Since the aliens no longer have a penis , Anderson is “screwed on” an artificial limb that makes loud, humming noises during an erection . Anderson finds a job in the financial industry and meets Susan, with whom he wants to have sexual intercourse and with whom he ultimately falls in love. The aviation authority investigator Roland Jones checks Harold because the aliens on their trip to Earth always get on passenger planes during the flight, which causes violent turbulence .

As the situation around Anderson and his act of procreation becomes more and more confused, Graydon comes to earth to better control the situation and to remind Harold of his task of preparing the conquest. In the end, he threatens Harold and the people and is shot by Jones. Harold Anderson is then named leader of the aliens.

Reviews

“Seldom fun sex clothes with an adolescent plot. Although some of the gags are quite successful, the bottom line is that the film is just the elaborate illustration of a man's joke. "

- Lexicon of international film

"Nichols' study on the mating behavior of Earthlings is well cast down to minor roles, including a. with Greg Kinnear, Linda Fiorentino, John Goodman and Ben Kingsley. In spite of crude rumors (such as a buzzing electronic device as a permanent punch), this is quite amusing. Conclusion: Sexual jokes with super crude gags. "

“What initially surprises you is that 'Good Vibrations - Sex from Another Star' is supposed to be a Mike Nichols film. […] Yes, it's the same Mike Nichols who now allows himself to mess around on the level of ' American Pie '. The parable of men and women who seem to come from another planet stays on the surface - just like the flat gags. And yet: 'Good Vibrations' is ideal for 105 minutes of carefree amusement. This is mainly due to the wonderful facial expressions of his main actor Garry Shandling, who is also responsible as producer and screenwriter. By the way, there was someone else on board who is otherwise used to 'more demanding' works: cameraman Michael Ballhaus… However, they all enjoyed this wonderfully silly material. "
