RELEASED IN 1988 and directed by Julien Temple, "Earth Girls are Easy" chronicles events when three aliens (Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans) befriend a woman in Los Angeles (Geena Davis) and go out on the town. Julie Brown plays the woman's friend at work while Charles Rocket plays her roaming-eye fiancé. Michael McKean is on hand as her stoner brother. This movie's goofy, but often hilarious and always fun & entertaining. Don't expect the howling bad crapola of future duds "2001: A Space Travesty" and "What Planet Are You From?" (both from 2000). Unlike those flicks, the unsavory sleaze is kept in check; it's almost innocent by comparison. I've never seen Julie Brown before, but she's definitely a bright spot. The score is fun & energetic in a decidedly 80's way. THE MOVIE RUNS 100 minutes and was shot in the Los Angeles area. WRITERS: Julie Brown, Charlie Coffey & Terrence E. McNally. GRADE: B+
Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, Charles Rocket, Michael McKean and Julie Brown star in this 1989 sci-fi comedy. Davis (Beetlejuice) plays Valerie, a California manicurist who is in a troubled relationship. Soon, 3 colorful, furry aliens head to Earth and land in her swimming pool. She's scared at first, but befriends them and helps them blend in. Goldblum (The Fly) plays Mac, the leader of the trio who falls for her, Carrey (The Mask) plays Wiploc, Wayans (The Last Boy Scout) plays Zeebo, the late, Rocket (Dumb & Dumber) plays Valerie's cheating fiancée, Ted who is a doctor, McKean (This is Spinal Tap) plays hippie, Woody and Brown (Clueless) plays Valerie's friend, Candy. This is a bizarre film that pokes fun of and pays tribute to 50's sci-fi & B movies. It also provides some cheesy, yet amusing musical sequences provided by Miss Brown, Davis & Goldblum have good chemistry and had previously worked together in "The Fly" & "Transylvania 6-5000." Carrey and Wayans also worked together on TV's "In Living Color." I'd give this a view at least once.
Three furry multicolored aliens (Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans) land their spaceship in Geena Davis' pool. Wackiness follows. This is a fun little musical comedy with a great cast that's having a blast and it shows. Goldblum, Carrey, and Wayans are all good but it's the girls who really make this one work. Geena Davis is funny as well as being smoking hot in this. Julie Brown owns every scene she's in. She's a riot and her songs are great. Music video director Julien Temple maintains a brisk pace throughout. This is a colorful, bubbly comedy that I think will appeal to a variety of viewers. It's got '80s stamped all over it so if you enjoy movies from that decade (and you should), you'll enjoy this one.
A spaceship with three furry aliens lands in the swimming pool of a California girl (Geena Davis), so she makes friends with them.This is a pretty great 1980s film, with all the fun and cheese you could ever possibly want. The humor is of a variety rarely seen anywhere, and especially not outside of this unique decade.Jim Carrey -- before he became the big star he is today -- is a nice treat. But the real mystery here in Jeff Goldblum. The film presents him as though he is the most handsome man who ever lived. Maybe aliens give off strong pheromones or something, but Goldblum cannot be considered a "hunk" by anyone's definition... can he?
