Ever wish for more of the on screen chemistry between Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum devastatingly cut short in THE FLY? Well, good news! The two starred in one more film together after that, the 1988 musical comedy, EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY. It's just like THE FLY except less sad with brighter pop colors, vapid musical numbers, and much less insect vomit! Molded around the parody songs of MTV personality Julie Brown, EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY is cinema candy: not much substance but a very fun watch. The movie also touts wild 80s fashion, non-sequitur music video interludes, and features newcomers Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans.
The film is about three horny aliens that decide to make a pitstop on Earth during their intergalactic travels and crash their ship into recently heartbroken manicurist Valerie's swimming pool. While her pool is being drained, Valerie introduces a colorful Wiploc, Zeebo and Mac to LA, doing typical LA things like getting a make-over, going to a club, and flying a car into a giant donut. Everyone finds these visitors irresistible, including Valerie who isn't really over her last relationship. This film tackles that age old question: what's a person to do when a blue sexy alien falls out of the sky and into your backyard?
