Amazon.co.uk Review

This late-1980s 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 will have a fondness for this one, otherwise you will 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 co-star (and the film's co-writer) 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, Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars This must be based on a true story, 4 Sep 2007
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Earth Girls are Easy [DVD] [2007] (DVD)
Faced with all kinds of problems from infidelity to broken nails Valerie's (Geena Davis) troubles have just began as aliens invade her pool. She must help them acclimate to our way of life. Soon the aliens learn that earth girls are easy.

They say that truth is stranger than fiction. This movie is awfully strange so it must be true. The "out of the area" visitors are easy to keep track of when they are color-coded. The songs were great and relevant.

All of the main actors went on to bigger and I guess you can say better movies. Another early Jim Carrey movie is "Once Bitten" (1985). The best Julie Brown movie is "Out There" (1995), where she describes certain alien appendages as being curved like the space-time continuum.

This is one of those movies that you may want to put on again in the background. And look up in time for your favorite parts.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor sound quality sums it up..., 24 July 2000
By A Customer
A brilliant film that deserves the widescreen format it was released in, this version is in 4/3 format and the sound is in stereo. Not what you expect from a DVD. If you can play the US version on your player I'd recommend you get that instead.
