Cast: Robert Redford, Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Seymour Cassel, Oliver Platt, Billy Bob Thornton, Rip Taylor, Billy Connolly, Mariclare Costello, Joel Brooks, Pierre Epstein, Danny Zorn, Kevin West, Tommy Bush, Pamela Holt
If you can get past the insane idea that Robert Redford would have to pay for sex, then you will be able to sit back and enjoy this film. The story revolves around a young couple, Diana and David Murphy (Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson) who go to Las Vegas to win money to build their dream house. While there, billionaire John Gage (Robert Redford) offers them $1 million if Diana will spend one night with him. Yes, it is certainly a stretch!

What Planet Are You From? 2000 R, 105 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: Mike Nichols
Cast: Garry Shandling, Annette Bening, John Goodman, Greg Kinnear, Ben Kingsley, Linda Fiorentino, Judy Greer, Danny Zorn, Harmony Smith, Richard Jenkins
Out there in the cosmos is a planet, and on that planet are people who want to rule the universe; Earth is their next target. They are REALLY boring: they have no emotions and no genitals. They decide to send one of their own (Garry Shandling) to Earth, after fitting him with the appropriate body parts, to foster a child to assist in their quest (how that helps, this viewer is not sure). One problem on Earth is that, when aroused, his "equipment" makes a whirring noise, an irritating consequence of the equipment. He meets Susan (Annette Bening) and decides she's the one.
