This 1989 movie semi-musical, a tossaway cotton-candy comedy confection, may seem like a very odd “spider-web” film – but the performances keep me watching, whenever it pops up. (That, and the knowledge that it was one of my daughter Kristin’s favorite movies growing up.) Geena Davis plays a Valley Girl who is visited by three hairy, Play-Doh-colored space aliens – and when their fur is shaved, they’re all good-looking guys, played by Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans. All three of them add funny bits of comic flair to their roles, as does Julie Brown (who corwrote the script and wrote the music) as the hairdresser responsible for the trio’s galactic makeover.
