Critics Consensus

Earth Girls Are Easy is messy, silly, and not particularly bright -- qualities it comes by honestly and deliberately.

As funny and silly as ever, it's even more interesting to watch as a period piece, exulting in the dream of the San Fernando Valley of the 1980s.

Intended by director Julian Temple and his screenwriters to affectionately skewer Tinseltown lifestyles.

This is deliberately, gleefully vacuous entertainment, and any satirical edge is blunted by the film's obvious affection for its subject.

3.5/5

A lot of it is still funny, and the performances are charming. But if anyone born in 1990 or later watched this movie, they probably wouldn’t understand half of what happens. (35th anniversary)

This is a movie that raises its bad taste as a defiant banner, which will have sworn defenders and staunch enemies. [Full review in Spanish]

Earth Girls Are Easy manages to both subvert and give in to the conventions of its time, creating a work so singularly absurd and campy, you can't not enjoy it.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Earth Girls Are Easy is a goofy, silly little movie that's still as fun as I've always found it to be. The film leans into its own absurdity, and that's precisely what makes it so charming. I love the movie's mix of vibrant colors, catchy songs, and outlandish premise. It's a perfect escape into a world where everything is just a little bit ridiculous, and it's all the better for it.

If you’re looking for a corky, funny and sweet , light , romantic sci-fi I highly recommend this movie. it’s totally weird but in all the right ways. You’ll laugh so much and be completely entertained. It’s a mixture of the movie Barbie meets Alien Nation .

Earth Girls Are Easy is an extremely cheesy '80s musical about alien invaders. And it's a perfect fit for a double feature with Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984). And I lost it with referring to Wesson Vegetable Oil as an "essential oil" to be used for romantic pleasure.

A fever dream of a musical; this movie stars a ton of folks who would go on to huge things...but I wonder if they prefer to leave this one off their resumes. I find it enjoyable if a little grating, and I'm totally smitten with Geena Davis...but this is definitely not a film for everyone.
