The next day, while she’s moping in her pool, she’s interrupted by the sudden crash landing of a sedan-sized spaceship. She throws him out, and proceeds to demolish everything he owns in the house, from smashing his cologne bottles to rolling a bowling ball into his computer. Unfortunately, she discovers that his lack of interest is solely with her, as he attempts to cheat on her the moment he thinks she’s going to a conference. The central figure of the movie is California valley girl Valerie (Geena Davis), who initially is looking to spice things up in her relationship with her fiance Ted (Charles Rocket). Though even as aliens, they’re still playing morons. And it was worth a look simply because it had early film roles for both Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans while not the first film for either of them (in fact, it also wasn’t Brown’s first film despite the credits “Introducing” her), it gave each a fair amount of screen time before they had really made their names known. One of these days I may learn that morbid curiosity is not a thing to be indulged, but today is not that day. 1988’s Earth Girls Are Easy is an alien-themed romantic musical comedy written, produced, with music from and starring (though not in the lead role), Julie Brown, the singer/actress who got her start on MTV (not to be confused with fellow video jockey “Downtown” Julie Brown.) Yesterday’s reviewed movie was a high-brow labor of love for its director, so in accordance with the idea of keeping things in balance, today’s movie is a low-brow vanity project.
