Jeff Goldblum and Cyndi Lauper are a quirky romantic match...

Cheerful 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 third act does drag its feet, but the script is full of great exchanges and there's 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." **1/2 out of ****

A Great B Movie - Under-appreciated

Not all movies are Citizen Kane. They can't all be Schindler's List. Some of them are just good little entertainment pieces of silliness. This is one of those movies.Lauper is Sylvia and Goldblum is Nick, they are both psychics. He is a highly educated museum curator and she is a wrong side of the tracks wanna be hairdresser looking for Mr. Okay and always finding Mr. Wrong.They meet when they are being tested for a study on para-psychology and get involved in a mystery by Peter Falk's character. But it turns out that Falk's Harry is a shady guy at best and is actually just looking for Incan treasure. But so, as it turns out is just about everybody else they know.It is silly and doesn't try to be anything else. There are some great one liners overall (What do we do now? Have a Psych-Off?) and if you are a movie lover and not a stuck-up Cinephile, then you might enjoy this lighthearted and fun movie.
