She investigates but knocks her head on their ship, and the three save her from drowning.

After she kicks him out, three furry aliens (Goldbum, Carrey, and Wayans) that have been monitoring her - with an interest Earth Girls Are Easy never pretends is anything other than sexual - suddenly crash-land into her pool. Her character, Valerie, is in a relationship with a perpetually unfaithful boyfriend, Ted Gallagher (Charles Rocket), a doctor who can’t stop trying to sleep with nurses. And then this alien comes along, and suddenly she's willing to leave the planet with him.” That's what Geena's character is going through.

That’s Brown’s idea, as she told Salon in 2012: “With 'Earth Girls,' the idea in my head was always 'The Wizard of Oz.' Dorothy is in this place of longing, and she doesn't know what it is. On screen, Davis is a little bit like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz - except, in this case, three very odd men wind up in her strange land. The movie follows her lead, offering up a Valley Girl movie that’s a little weirder than the rest. Brown, who also co-wrote the script and appears in the film, was known for musical comedy tracks that played with popular ‘80s Valley Girl stereotypes, celebrating herself in a self-aware and bratty way (other tracks featured in the movie include “I Like ‘Em Big and Stupid” and ''Cause I'm a Blonde'). Throughout Earth Girls Are Easy, everyone seems a little shocked that they’re on set, making a movie based on a parody song of the same title (from Julie Brown's 1984 EP Goddess in Progress). Geena Davis has the earnest lightness of a lead that audiences would follow through the most ridiculous plots, Goldblum provides the kind of self-assured swagger that still steals scenes in blockbusters, and Carrey and Wayans both deliver great physical comedy while looking like heartthrobs. Indeed, it’s easy to see why so many actors from Earth Girls Are Easy became huge stars in the next decade. All the characters in this movie are likeable and the film itself is just as interesting.Carrey and Wayans would end up meeting again in two years for the sketch comedy show In Living Color, and it’s easy to see why they decided to reunite. Jeff Goldblum played Mac, a charming, maturer, steadier alien while his fellow travelers Wiploc and Zeebo (played by Jim Carrey and Damon Wayens respectively) are wackier and more fun-loving. The scene Valerie 'destroys' about everything in her house after she sees her fiance with another woman was skillfully filmed and acted in a very funny and original way, while Valerie sings 'I've lost my faith in you'.Īs Valerie, Geena Davis beautifully portrayed this cheerful, optimistic, lively and strong woman. The whole film is a hilarious party, if you're in the mood to relax, to lay back and to kick off your shoes without wanting to explore some serious issue, then you'll have a grand time watching this. Although this is not exactly a profound story, it is light-hearted, colorful, energetic and successfully made for the purpose of entertainment. Now the arrival of the three extra-terrestrials will change Valerie's life forever.Īs a sci-fi comedy, some occasional singing scenes make this film also fit the category of musical.
