A cinematic trifle of science fiction and romantic comedy, Earth Girls Are Easy is a harmless delight with bold production design and a likeable star. British director Julien Temple, who helmed the Sex Pistols documentaries The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle and The Filth and the Fury, is at his best when directing the musical numbers. Featuring bright colors and exuberant set decor, these music video-style segments are good trashy fun, co-written by and starring the self-parodying Julie Brown. The narrative is a lightheartedly satiric view of the disposable life in the valley, made endurable with the good-natured and quirky main character, Valerie (Geena Davis), who carries the movie through some rough spots with her naïve charm. Having the captain of the alien ship played by Davis' real-life husband at the time, Jeff Goldblum, brings some genuine warmth to what is otherwise just a silly love story. As the other two aliens, Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans (stars of the early-'90s Fox TV series In Living Color) get some predictable laughs in their misappropriations of pop culture, warping of TV commercials, and alien-ized valley slang. Their behavior doesn't matter, however, in the madcap throwaway logic of this movie, as long as they look hot and datable. Featuring a late-'80s pop soundtrack including Brown's hit "'Cause I'm a Blonde," Earth Girls Are Easy is enjoyably entertaining fluff.
