RELEASED IN 1988 and directed by Julien Temple, "Earth Girls are Easy" chronicles events when three aliens (Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans) befriend a woman in Los Angeles (Geena Davis) and go out on the town. Julie Brown plays the woman's friend at work while Charles Rocket plays her roaming-eye fiancé. Michael McKean is on hand as her stoner brother.
This movie's goofy, but often hilarious and always fun & entertaining. Don't expect the howling bad crapola of future duds "2001: A Space Travesty" and "What Planet Are You From?" (both from 2000). Unlike those flicks, the unsavory sleaze is kept in check; it's almost innocent by comparison. I've never seen Julie Brown before, but she's definitely a bright spot. The score is fun & energetic in a decidedly 80's way.
THE MOVIE RUNS 100 minutes and was shot in the Los Angeles area. WRITERS: Julie Brown, Charlie Coffey & Terrence E. McNally.
GRADE: B+
