    An 80's classic! Highlights include; The 'cause I'm a blonde' song, the decade itself and 'He ate my blue finned dork' - 'You just watch your mouth!'

    Movie about aliens. Good cast. Poor plot and costumes.
  • March 1, 2008
    Light humoured comedy but not a sci fi as such just for young boys really.

    I love Julie Brown, so this was a must. But what will supridse you most about this film is the amazing cast of A-list actors who were pretty much unknown when this was made. Some very amusing scenes, mostly the one's invoiving Ms. Brown.

    Geena plays a beautiful but romantically unhappy manicurist Valley Girl who's doctor boyfriend Ted is cheating on her and Jeff plays the blue furred ringleader of three furry aliens, the other two being yellow furred Damon Wayans and pre-movie stardom red furred Jim Carrey. Furry...( read more) aliens Jeff, Jim and Damon crash land in Geena's pool the day after Geena discovers how unfaithful Ted's been and the sight of them understandably throws her for a loop. With their ship down for repairs the boys will have to stay with Geena and, doing her part for interplanetary relations, takes them to her ditzy manicurist cohort Candy (Julie Brown) to give the guys make overs so they can pass for Earthlings. May not be brilliant comedy but like so many other comedies of the 80s this is still a reasonably funny, good natured romp with the cast making the most of it. Geena's easy to like and Jeff's a good straight man to the wild antics of Jim and Damon, who both appear to be having a good time as the nuttier aliens. Nothing essential to go out of your way to see, but certainly worth catching sometime.

    i love this movie.it funny and a good romance movie.
  • November 23, 2009
    Carrey equals his strange Fire Marshal Bill role and Davis looks her best. Cheap and hoaky but entertaining non-the-less
  • November 20, 2009
    Wish they'd kept their fuzz on.
  • November 13, 2009
    An All-Star cast, and a hilarious movie.

    Just to correct one of the reviewers above, this is *not* the girl from Weird Science. This is Geena Davis, and that was Kelly LeBrock. And Weird Science was probably a lot better than this wretched, boring film.
