Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
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

Customer Reviews

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- JUST PLAIN BAD
How so many people could give a positive review to a movie that is written, directed and especially acted as badly as this is beyond me. My guess is that most of them were teenagers when this came out and have a kind of soft for it. Unfortunately, that soft spot is in their heads.

Rating:

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

- hmmmmmmmm
I would love to review this item... I would have loved to watch it. I would have loved for it to actually show up at my doorstep. As per usual with my Amazon.com purhcases I get to pay for shipping costs for items that never get shipped. Luckily I was actually reimbursed for the price of the movie. So 5 stars Amazon.com. True to your usual standard of customer service. High five.

Rating:

- This must be based on a true story
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.

Love this movie.. A camp classic. And seeing two new faces was so much fun.
