An astrophysicist falls in love with a beautiful woman who is actually a disguised extraterrestrial in this high-concept
comedy.
Dan Aykroyd plays
Steven Mills, a dedicated and harmlessly odd scientist researching ways to send radio signals to deep space. Unbeknownst to him, one of his experiments works better than expected, attracting the attention of an alien in need of help. She travels to Earth and poses as a human, assuming the name
Celeste and the body of
Kim Basinger.
Celeste's lack of knowledge about humanity causes her to act bizarrely at times, but her odd behavior unexpectedly causes
Mills to fall in love with her. The confused
Celeste decides to play along for her planet's sake, but she finds her plan threatened by
Mills' teenage daughter
Jessie (
Alyson Hannigan), who has become suspicious of
Celeste after witnessing some odd behavior. The culture clash between
Celeste's planet and Earth serves as an excuse for broad
slapstick and
sitcom-style humor, such as
Celeste's fumbling efforts to enact the human ritual of "kissing."
