Don't listen to the negative reviews

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

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+

Mac (Jeff Goldblum), Wiploc (Jim Carrey) and Zeebo (Damon Wayans) are brightly-colored furry aliens desperate for female companionship. In L.A., Valerie (Geena Davis) is getting married to Ted in a month but he's not attracted to her. She's a nail manicurist in a hair salon with her friend Candy (Julie Brown). Valerie catches Ted with another girl and he takes off. Wiploc and Zeebo crash their spacecraft into her pool.This is silly. It is unrelentingly wacky. It is deliberately strange. The musical portions are not that great. The songs are not the catchiest but they do try to be comical. Everything is so desperate to be outlandish that it isn't actually that funny. This is definitely different. Geena Davis is gorgeous and charismatic. Carrey and Wayans have moments of wacky but they could be so much more funnier. There's a crazy idea here but the writing isn't quite funny enough.

Earth Girls Are Easy is an outlandish 80's comedy classic with large doses of cheese. A good woman is hard to find. So much so that even aliens from outer space travel the galaxy to find them. Our three intergalactic space studs crash their spaceship in Geena Davis's swimming pool after catching a glimpse of her sunbathing. Our three furry friends can't party in the valley while looking like oversized stuffed animals. So they get haircuts and California makeovers that drive the ladies of the 80's wild. Our three extraterrestrial superhunks are Jeff Goldbloom, Damon Wayans and Jim Carrey. Geena Davis is not without her problems. She is about to marry a doctor that is more interested in playing doctor with nurses that look half as good as she does. She soon finds that Mr Right is from another planet. Earth Girls Are Easy is a very over the top, funny and blatantly 80's sci fi comedy. For what it is, it is a good movie and is very amusing, insane and campy entertainment.

I have always loved this movie. It's a harmless very superficial super silly science fiction comedy. It's set in "the Valley" with all the colorful 80's fashions and empty-headed easy- going people. This film is very light weight fun. Maybe a little too wacky for audiences when it was released in 1989. It seemed to have gone nowhere when it could have been the great kitsch summer film that year. It had the stars: Jeff Goldblum, a young Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans and the super hot Geena Davis!!! Geena could have been a HUGE star but she seemed to have disappeared during the 90's. She was beautiful and cute at the same time and funny, with a tall hot body. Why did she just sort of vanish????When I re-saw this film I could see why it wasn't a hit. It's a bit too loose and wacky. The direction by Julian Temple is too slack: many of the jokes just misfire and go past unnoticed because the staging is bad. He seemed to have taken just one take of each shot. The musical parts are badly put together and the music (which I still love) pretty weak. The best thing in this film is Julie Brown with her too few scenes and songs!
