what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I think I may have liked this film if I had watched it when I was younger. Earth Girls are Easy is almost fun, but it's too dumb to love. I felt embarrassed for the actors most of the time.

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.

This 1988 film reunites the lovers from The Fly, Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, under completely different circumstances. The Fly is a movie with very dark themes, but Earth Girls are Easy is a very light-hearted comedy with a few songs in it.The ridiculous plot centers around three furry aliens who land in Davis's swimming pool, and subsequently get a makeover so that they look just like humans. They soon turn out to be well-behaved and nice and go on to charm everyone, including Davis.The acting is over-the-top, Davis especially delivers a terrible performance, and Jim Carrey does no better in an early role. However, the movie is colorful and charming, and its cheesy 80s soundtrack ensures it has a cult following.Decent entertainment, but by no means a good movie.

This eighties comedy might not be a classic but it is still a lot of fun; Geena Davis plays Valerie, a valley girl whose doctor fiancé Ted is carrying on with one of his nurses. Her life is changed when the day after she throws him out of the house a trio of hirsute aliens crash their spaceship into her pool named Wiploc, Weebo and Mac. Luckily for them she works at a hairdressing salon so with a little help from her friend Candy they go from looking like a three colourful wookies to being Jim Carey, Damon Wayans and Jeff Goldblum respectively. They might look human but they don't sound it as they learnt English from watching television for a short while. Surprisingly nobody seems to notice even when they go to a night club! Once they return to Valerie's they are confronted by her fiancé who is not placated when she explains that they are a band she won for the weekend on MTV. Luckily for them he is arrested and that night Mac comforts, and sleeps with, Valerie. They should be able to depart in the morning but the pool man invites Wiploc and Weebo to the beach and on their way back a series of mishaps lead them to Ted's emergency room where it is certain he'll realise they aren't human so Valerie and Mac must rescue them before they can be dissected! As one can tell from the summary this is not a serious film and that is without having mentioned the frequent musical numbers that occurred during the film. The acting is good enough though and it is clear that everybody involved knew they were making something silly. The special effects are of a fairly low quality although I suspect that was deliberate given the designs of the spaceship. The songs aren't fantastic but they may get stuck in your head and are sung in a way that fits the film. This is very much a film of its time but it is still enjoyable and still makes me laugh more than I expected it to.
