Review of Vibes

Vibes (1988)
7/10
goofy, genial comedy adventure
31 January 2014
I have fond memories of this movie from when it came out, so all these years later I decided to watch it again, and I still really like it. It's very silly, but it's reasonably funny and the Indiana-Jones-style adventure aspects are pretty well done.

The big surprise of the movie when it came out was Cyndi Lauper as a wacky psychic who dresses like a very colorful hooker. She was surprisingly effective as an actress, even though she was simply playing her basic persona. She and Goldblum make one of the most atypical Hollywood romantic couples I think I've ever seen.

I won't call this a great comedy, but it is a hugely likable one.
