    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.

    Carrey equals his strange Fire Marshal Bill role and Davis looks her best. Cheap and hoaky but entertaining non-the-less

    Wish they'd kept their fuzz on.

    An All-Star cast, and a hilarious movie.

    I love this film!!! I first saw this film when i was 9. I'm only 1 year older than it too!!! It's such a funny film throughout and there are so many funny moments. And one weird moment and that's the dream that Valerie has, yet interesting at the same time. Jeff Goldblum, Jim Car...( read more)rey and Damon Wayans as Mac, Wiploc and Zeebo are so funny! Wiploc is the funniest, he's my favorite of the aliens, as Jim Carrey is just hilarious in every film he's in! I'm actually surprised that throughout this film no one really noticed an alien spaceship in Valerie's swimming pool! I know i would have done!!! I really loved the ending when Valerie decided to leave with them all so she could be with Mac as they had fallen in love, i would have gone too, as what an experience!!! Such a good film and i reccomend everyone sees it at some point in their life.

    Inane and kooky, but also fairly entertaining. Geana Davis is fun, some good music and it certainly is different and creative. I admire the effort, but it doesn?t always work.

    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.
