Earth Girls Are Easy
Capsule by Jonathan Rosenbaum
From the Chicago Reader

This delightful 1989 pop-fantasy musical about Valley girls and extraterrestrials gives the talented English director Julien Temple an opportunity to show his stuff in an all-American context. The results are less ambitious and dazzling than his Absolute Beginners, but loads of fun nevertheless: his satirical yet affectionate view of southern California glitz is full of grace and energy. Nicely scripted by costar Julie Brown, Charlie Coffey, and Terrence E. McNally; with Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, and Damon Wayans. 100 min.
