Audience Reviews for Earth Girls Are Easy

Aug 26, 2019

A high octane cast in this innocuous romp through the Valley in its heyday, the '80s, as stranded aliens from space interact with those from the Valley. Many cornball jokes about aliens eating items not meant for consumption. Davis honestly engages but everyone else is simply gliding along doing pastiches you've seen many times before, most likely from the 3 Stooges.

fun little gem with a solid cast to boot

With a title like Earth Girls Are Easy, you know it's a quality film. Yet surprisingly it's garbage, complete and utter garbage. And it's really a shame, 'cause the cast is quite impressive; Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, and Julie Brown. But the script is awful, and the performances are universally bad. The film is just a crazy mess, starting out as a musical, becoming a fish-out-of-water tale, and ending up as a rom-com. Mindbogglingly stupid, Earth Girls Are Easy is one of the most atrocious things ever to be put on film.
