Movies I Love, Part XXIII: Earth Girls Are Easy

So a bitchin’ Valley Gal is sunbathing in her backyard. (Hot young Geena Davis in a skimpy bikini.)

She gets like totally splashed. She thinks it’s a giant blow dryer. It’s only a spaceship that’s landed in her pool. It contains three furry and like you gotta see ‘em totally funny aliens. Jeff Goldblum. Damon Wayans. And Jim Carrey before he was, uh, Jim Carrey.

Astoundingly clever one-liners and bon mots ensue. Plus a great club scene with an awsome disco dancedown. A little romance. Song and dance. Lots of laughs. Michael McKean as Woody the stoner/ surfer pool boy. His credo: “Waste your brain; wax your board; pray for waves.” Rad.

And, as the veritable coup de grace, there’s the abundant comedic and musical talents of sardonic Julie Brown. (Who, by the by, co-wrote the movie with Charlie Coffey and Terrence McNally.) Not to mention her bodacious ta-tas. Her beach song/ dance scene, “I’m A Blonde” is worth the price of admission.

This is essentially a hundred minutes of smiles. The Film Babe and I can attest. We caught it in our hotel room the other morning as we were packing befire check out.

Want a taste of it? See the trailer here.

It’s here that I want to quote some of the one liners. I shan’t. It would be out of context. And all is lost in translation when not coming from the mouths of Geena Davis and the genius Julie Brown.

Hey, just rent it. It’s fluff. But, you know, it’s blonde fluff. Tasty but no calories.
