From Other Worlds is a 2004 American science fiction comedy film written and directed by Barry Strugatz and starring Cara Buono, Isaach de Bankolé, David Lansbury, Robert Peters, Melissa Leo and Joel de la Fuente.
Robert Koehler of Variety gave the film a positive review, calling it an "amiable and arch comedy". Nick Schager of Slant Magazine awarded the film one and a half stars out of four, and wrote, "The film is an awkward mix of comedy, romance, and out-there fantasy. (...) Too bad the storyâÂÂs humorous bits are so sluggish and off-key".
Scott Tobias of The A.V. Club graded the film a C+, and stated it in the conclusion of his review that "without [Cara] Buono's infectious turnâÂÂand perhaps also the one from that alien who impersonates Marlon BrandoâÂÂFrom Other Worlds would simply float off into the ether. Even with her, it's often a sickly sweet confection."
