silly, wacky and strange
9 March 2016
Mac (Jeff Goldblum), Wiploc (Jim Carrey) and Zeebo (Damon Wayans) are brightly-colored furry aliens desperate for female companionship. In L.A., Valerie (Geena Davis) is getting married to Ted in a month but he's not attracted to her. She's a nail manicurist in a hair salon with her friend Candy (Julie Brown). Valerie catches Ted with another girl and he takes off. Wiploc and Zeebo crash their spacecraft into her pool.

This is silly. It is unrelentingly wacky. It is deliberately strange. The musical portions are not that great. The songs are not the catchiest but they do try to be comical. Everything is so desperate to be outlandish that it isn't actually that funny. This is definitely different. Geena Davis is gorgeous and charismatic. Carrey and Wayans have moments of wacky but they could be so much more funnier. There's a crazy idea here but the writing isn't quite funny enough.
