Earth Girls Are Easy

In this musical comedy, Valerie (Geena Davis) is dealing with her philandering fiancé, Ted (Charles Rocket), when she finds that a trio of aliens (Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans) have crashed their spaceship into her swimming pool. Once the furry beings are shaved at her girlfriend’s salon, the women discover three handsome men underneath. After absorbing the native culture via television, the spacemen are ready to hit the dating scene in 1980s Los Angeles.

A lighthearted and goofy musical comedy about a love affair between an extraterrestrial and a manicurist

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It is a joyfully chaotic and wildly uneven work that shows Mr. Temple’s roots in music videos.

Caryn James, New York Times

Earth Girls Are Easy manages to both subvert and give in to the conventions of its time, creating a work so singularly absurd and campy, you can’t not enjoy it.
