 | This movie was extremely poor lacking in taste, acting quality and humor. |
| Rating | | | Date | January 30, 2004 | | Summary | Snap shot: 1989ish | Content
| For better or worse, this film really represents an era, particularly in So Cal. This film is superficial but bright and smart... and has VERY bright colors -- like a 90 minute Starburst commercial. The entire look, in every nook and cranny, is eighties glitzy-junk new wave excess taken to the extreme. And then grunge (Seattle, Nirvana, Clinton:-) put an end to it all, sort of. But while it lasted, the end of the eighties ($ boomtime for So Cal) is shown here in all its glory: Yuppiedom, lots of gadgets, almost disposable clothes, accesories to the max, disposable pop-culture references, and big-haired beautiful women. Julie Brown epitomizes all of the above with a postmodern wink. She is the heart here... while Geena Davis is the straight person, properly vacant, wandering through this neon world. As so many reviewers wrote, the Julie Brown musical numbers are real standouts. And Geena's "Ground That You Walk On" is great too. Highly recommended time capsule. (Compare this film to 1980ish "Xanadu," where lots of this glitz was in its infancy, more serious and innocent). |

| Loved it! Great songs, lots of talented actors, hysterical. The theme and story are a little cheesy, but the way it is put together will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. Great performances by all. I couldn't stop laughing. It is one of my favorites. If you want a fun, light hearted good time movie with lots of laughs and some good tunes.... get this movie. You won't regret it. I've watched it over and over and love it. Really really recommend! Enjoy! |

| Faced with all kinds of problems from infidelity to broken nails Valerie's (Geena Davis) troubles have just began as aliens invade her pool.
They say that truth is stranger than fiction. This movie is awfully strange so it must be true. The "out of the area" visitors were easy to keep track of when they were 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) ASIN: 0792842421. The best Julie Brown movie is Out There (1995) ASIN: 6303965954, 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. |
| Rating | | | Date | April 08, 2003 | | Summary | Have some 80's nostalgia | Content
| In spite of this film being slightly annoying (partly for Geena Davis's character, partly for the tacked-on music), it has redeeming values that make it worth at least a watch, and a trip back into 80's Space. The best parts are the hilarious Julie Brown songs, 'I Like 'Em Big and Stupid', and 'Cuz I'm a Blonde'. If the rest of the movie gets on your last nerve, just skip to the Julie Brown songs, and it will be worth the price you paid! It's too bad much of the editing that took place for the movie took out Julie stuff, which is why you should get the DVD, to have access to the deleted scenes. Other highlights are a delicious and silent Jeff Goldblum, and Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans, when you knew them when. Also check out the always-appealing Michael McKean as a pool-cleaning Surf Bum. Combine all that with lots of 80's color and glam, and you've got a fun little trip on their alien ship. |
