highly recommended

This late-'80s comedy-musical from video director Julien Temple (Absolute Beginners) has an infectiously buoyant if dumb charm and plays like a cross between Little Shop of Horrors and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. If you loved either of those movies, you'll have a fondness for this one, otherwise you'll be irritated beyond belief. Geena Davis stars as a San Fernando Valley manicurist who finds herself in charge of three aliens after they crash-land their spaceship in her pool. With said transport broken down, Davis offers them head-to-toe makeovers (it's the least she can do), turns the fuzzy aliens into a trio of attractive guys, and lets them loose on the dating scene. She promptly falls in love with the leader (Davis's then-husband Jeff Goldblum); of course, it helps that her slimy fiancé (Charles Rocket) is cheating on her left and right. Aside from its sunny California charm, the only other thing this film has to offer is a bouncy musical score, in particular two show-stopping numbers performed by costar (and the film's cowriter) Julie Brown: "Brand New Girl," in which Davis gets the requisite makeover ("If you want to be a femme fatale / You can't rest on your L'Oreals!"), and the entirely irrelevant but absolutely hilarious cult hit "'Cause I'm a Blonde." Davis does her standard airhead thing (still a novelty in 1989) and Goldblum is a studly if silent lead. Make sure you pay close attention to Goldblum's alien sidekicks, two then-unknown actors named Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans, both of whom manage to steal scenes with surprisingly understated charm. --Mark Englehart

Very funny movie

This is a quite funny movie which strangely many people are not familiar with. Jim Carrey has a small role as well, and you see hints as to why he became such a big star in "physical comedies." Geena Davis plays a 20 something "Valley Girl", living with her boyfriend, when a spaceship crashes into her backyard swimming pool. She and her best friend befriend "eventually" human looking three men, who have various adventures in the Valley. Geena Davis spends quite a bit of the movie in a bikini which is not hard on the eyes either. Really, a very funny movie.

Just a correction

Just a correction: Jill Jones is the one who sang "The Ground You Walk On", NOT Geena Davis! ;)

Earth girls are easy review

I got the DVD in good condition and played it that night. I remember what a silly movie it was when I watched it and loved every moment of it.
