Watch Earth Girls Are Easy For Free

Crappy film

As Good As It Gets

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Three furry multicolored aliens (Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans) land their spaceship in Geena Davis' pool. Wackiness follows. This is a fun little musical comedy with a great cast that's having a blast and it shows. Goldblum, Carrey, and Wayans are all good but it's the girls who really make this one work. Geena Davis is funny as well as being smoking hot in this. Julie Brown owns every scene she's in. She's a riot and her songs are great. Music video director Julien Temple maintains a brisk pace throughout. This is a colorful, bubbly comedy that I think will appeal to a variety of viewers. It's got '80s stamped all over it so if you enjoy movies from that decade (and you should), you'll enjoy this one.

The production quality of this film is somewhat lacking and I think the title is awful, but the rest of this film is comic genius!!! You'll be cheating yourself if you don't see it. (I never get tired of seeing it, once every year or so. And it's one of those films I've felt the need to show to all my friends because it's too funny!!!)To those who might be deterred by the bad reviews on this site: I think the bad title is probably what led many to avoid the film years ago and what has led many on IMDb to give it bad reviews (I suspect these were knee-jerk feminists who reacted to the title and not the film itself which was written by a woman and is woman-sympathetic). The bad reviews are terribly unfair and not in line with the cutting edge comic tour de force here - lampooning not easy women (about which it really has nothing to do with) but the shallow California scene of its time.And for the feminists who missed the point: the FEMALE wins here!!! Get it???It's the male lead who's the bad guy. That's for starters. And any woman who dated a jerk is going to LOVE this movie - because the jerk gets his (I don't think I'm giving anything away here, because the movie is about much more than this). (Yet men like myself won't be offended by this fact; there are, of course, jerks of both sexes and they DESERVE to get theirs!)I have to wonder whether those who gave this movie anything less than a very good review actually saw the film or just hated the title. There are some very very funny scenes here - including Julie Brown's "Cause I'm a Blonde" song vignette, which is hilarious and memorable (and a song you won't ever forget!!!). A very young Jim Carrey is off the charts here, too, yet he's just one of a super-talented cast of heavyweights who score big in this film (his talents as an impressionist especially shine here, for example). You absolutely have to see Michael McKean in his role as the dumb California pool guy and Damon Wayans as Zeebo!!! These are comic performances that are among the very best on film and there are a wealth of vignettes you'll be referring to in conversations for years to come - so many I couldn't list them all here (the doughnut scene, for instance - the mention of which won't give anything away for those who haven't seen this - and the disco scene, which lampoons discos more than any other movie scene ever).Plus, this is heavyweight actor Geena Davis' best comic performance ever - and she's so endearing in this role. I don't think this fine actress has ever been filmed as lovingly or beautifully. Jeff Goldblum (then still her husband), too, puts in a solid job as a romantic lead and even gives realism to an out-of- this-world character (and the love and chemistry between him and Geena is palpable). The only bad thing about this film is the title. And it has NOTHING to do with the film! Yet I think it scared a lot of people away from seeing it. What a shame!!! This is a great comedy - super-inventive and funny and you absolutely have to tune out the bad reviews and see it!

I didn't think much of this film when I first saw it but since then I have watched it a number of times and, in the words of Beetlejuice, "it keeps getting funnier every single time!" I work at a busy video store and I'll often put this film on when I'm working Saturday night. It's always popular with customers who enjoy watching it as they browse, comment on how young Jim Carrey looks, and ask "What on earth is this?" as they get to the checkout counter. That's because its such a great looking film. The vibrant color palette with its bright primaries and 80s rehash of 1950s aesthetics is inspired production design. The film really has aged incredibly well and looks better today than when it was first released. Were it released today it could easily take its place beside any of the recent musical comedies that have come out in the last ten years.

Throughout this film I had no idea who this was made for. It has a PG rating, though the whole movie is basically about hooking up with alien guys. There's also scenes of adultery, some sexual nudity, and references to drug use. This movie makes women seem like adult little girls who don't know what they want and allow people to use them. It makes men look like shallow sex addicts who care about nothing else. I was a little insulted that they would expect me to suspend my disbelief when they took the aliens to a salon and made them look just like attractive beach guys, I mean come on. There are also random song and dance numbers thrown in the midst of this romantic slapstick comedy love story thing. This is definitely NOT for kids, and seems really vapid and immature for adults. I didn't like any of the characters either, which made this movie feel lifeless and uninspired.
