Critics Consensus

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

Joey A

It's a very confusing movie, with no story line.

I totally love this movie, since I watched it by chance on past midnight TV it's been within my all times Top 10 Favorites, I've bought it on DVD, downloaded it and my wildest dream is watching it on cinema someday; it's so great that I never get boried of watching it again and again: it's extremely funny, has an awesome soundtrack, an amazing cast (including even the legendary Angelyne in what must be her only appearance on big screen), is a unique visual experience that encapsulates everything that made the 80's the best decade in the history of pop culture.

I thought to myself, it can't be that bad it has such a solid cast. I've never been more wrong, at no point was there anything resembling a coherent plot. Phobe

I thought it would be funny with Jim Carey in it. That's the only reason I bought it. I didn't think it would be a Musical. A bad one at that.

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.

Variety

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

Time Out

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

Rene Jordan

El Nuevo Herald (Miami)

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]

Film Inquiry

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.

Reel Film Reviews

...a larger-than-life premise that's employed to affable yet mostly forgettable effect by Temple...
