An out-of-this-world, down-to-earth comedy adventure.
Good classic movie. An early work from the great Jim Carrey and he was as wacky as he is now. The story was so-so nothing big, it's meant to be funny and entertain and to me it did it's job. Nice ending.

What a stupid movie! This movie has an excellent cast, but a horrible script. One of the worst movies of the 80s.

An 80's classic! Highlights include; The 'cause I'm a blonde' song, the decade itself and 'He ate my blue finned dork' - 'You just watch your mouth!'

I love Julie Brown, so this was a must. But what will supridse you most about this film is the amazing cast of A-list actors who were pretty much unknown when this was made. Some very amusing scenes, mostly the one's invoiving Ms. Brown.

Cotton-Candy rainbow aliens (Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans) invade Genna Davis' life. It's charming stuff.

A odd film with some very funny scenes, with a perfect cast for this type of mayhem.
Critic Reviews
It is a joyfully chaotic and wildly uneven work that shows Mr. Temple's roots in music videos. Full Review
An entertaining trifle.
When it's time for that inevitable return to the planet Jhazzalan, you may hear yourself breathing a sigh of relief. Full Review
The movie equivalent of cheap champagne -- even though it's lousy, it still gives you tickles up the nose. Full Review
A lighthearted and goofy musical comedy about a love affair between an extraterrestrial and a manicurist. Full Review
This is deliberately, gleefully vacuous entertainment, and any satirical edge is blunted by the film's obvious affection for its subject. Full Review
A hilarious, off-beat slice of 80s cheese.
