Blueghost I saw this film a couple of times on HBO, and thought it was entertaining. Jeff Goldblum does his usual excellent job as a comic performer, but a real surprise is his costar Cyndi Lauper of pop music fame. No, I didn't expect her to be able to act so well, but she does, and has pretty good comic timing. I wonder why she didn't sky rocket with a comic film career as well as her already excellent music career.Peter Falk plays the swindler in search of riches, who then manipulates those around him to get what he wants. The trio head to the Andes where adventure ensues.There's nothing really fantastic about this movie, but it is a solid hour and a half comic adventure film with small portions of action here and there. Respectably shot, it almost looks like a low budget film when they go on location in South America because everything is so sparse, but it is an A-film.I think there could have been a few more laughs as the film is a bit dry in the laugh department, but is still worth seeing at least once.Check out a copy with a bucket of popcorn and enjoy.

FlashCallahan Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and The Fly play two psychics hired by Columbo to find his long lost son in a foreign country. When they get there they discover he's really hired them to help find a hidden temple in the mountains where all the psychic energy in the world comes from.....The sad thing about vibes is that it has such a wonderful concept to it. If it focused more on the characters psychic powers, rather than turning into a pseudo Indiana Jones wannabe halfway through the film, it could have been something.The actors are not to blame, the writing is terrible, and Goldblum does his best bumbling fool act he mastered in the eighties before he became Mister Frost.Lauper has screen presence, but my gosh, her voice is so grating, I was desperately seeking Susan toward the end.It's a real shame, because the first twenty minutes is really entertaining and quite funny when we meet the psychics and their own brand of kooky powers.But then the film tries too hard to be clever, and it loses any momentum that it had to begin with.If your an eighties aficionado, it's firmly stuck in the eighties, with the music and clothing, but that's all there is to recommend.

freddy3980 I know its a cheesy movie, but overall it was entertaining and fun. I'm also Ecuadorian and I come from the place where they shoot the film, Cojitambo (Cañar, Ecuador). This movie brings good memories for me, since I can see some known people from my village and my elementary school.daria84 says "they showed an awesome footage of Ambato (a City located in the highlands) in the end of the movie when Sylvia is out in the balcony", let me tell you that's not Ambato, but that's Cojitambo's Hill shot from Azogues. If you don't believe me, search online for "Cojitambo" and you will see.

moonspinner55 Cheerful, underrated comedy about psychics served as a showcase for pop singer Cyndi Lauper (in her acting debut). She's a comic natural playing Sylvia Pickel, an unlucky-in-love single gal whose "psychic guide" leads her into the arms of fellow clairvoyant Jeff Goldblum (in possibly his smoothest comic performance to date). Both have been duped by con-man Peter Falk into finding a lost city of gold in Ecuador, and for the most part "Vibes" is a funny, knockabout journey with witty vignettes scattered about. The last-act drags its feet, but the script is full of great exchanges and a wonderful scene on the dance floor between the two stars. Lots of amusing one-liners, such as my favorite from Goldblum after Elizabeth Peña disrobes: "Parts of me are already applauding." *** out of ****
