Chuckles 23, Laughs 12, Belly Laughs 2
Notes: I'd heard of this movie and had never seen it. This is a really.... out there (pun intended?) comedy. The movie was released in 1989, the end of a decade of amazing music, fashion and a decade where sexy was seemingly part of every movie, whether it's a comedy or drama. Geena Davis has never looked so great and probably the same can be said for Jeff Goldbloom. The movie also features Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans two years before In Living Color and they are amazing. The basic plot: Geena Davis is on the verge of marrying a no-good cheating doctor when aliens arrive on earth and so begins the weirdest rom-com that you might ever see. The beach scene featuring "Cuz I'm a Blonde" song, sung by Julie Brown (who was also a writer) is hilarious and is the pre-curser to the "stupid-sexy" that makes half of Tik Tok.... tick (sorry) these days. There's a lot to process in this movie. I always thought of Geena Davis as cute but never sexy until this movie. Also, I've heard people say that Jeff Goldbloom got better looking as he aged but... I don't know, check him out in this film and you can be the judge. Would I watch it again? Yes.
