Earth Girls Are Easy (1989)

I'll tell you why so serious

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A horrible movie. Jim n Damon are bad. The best part is Cyndi n Genia :D other than Thor Ragnarok n Dumb n Dumber's dog van.

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.

This is one of Jim Carrey's earlier movies, and it also stars Damon Wayans, which why I hired it. The thing is, if you are expecting either a smart talking negro or a typical Jim Carrey character, then you will be a little disappointed, because the actors do not play the type of characters we have come to expect of them. Instead they are sex craved aliens cruising the galaxy and happened to crash on earth after seeing on Geena Davis.I personally thought that there could be a little more to this movie than there was. It was cute watching these aliens exploring Califorina culture and simply having fun. The reviewers called it a fun movie, and I agree in a way, but unfortunately it was missing something. I guess I was expecting more of a typical Jim Carrey or Damon Wayans movie, which is wasn't, but rather something completely different. Geena Davis' character really didn't seem to know what she wanted, but then that was the whole purpose of the movie. In the end though, it is interesting, but little more than that.

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!
