BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

tdrish Well, wow, have we really went 30 years since The Pink Chiquitas hit the map of Beamsville? Where did the time go? Yeah, I remember this one, it wasn't exactly a smash, but it was 100 % meaningless, mindless entertainment if you know what I mean. A meteor has hit the town of Beamsville, and it's creating quite an aftershock. This is no ordinary meteor. It's a pink chiquita meteor, and it's turning all the local females into ( ahem!) sexually charged women. It's a cheese fest, no doubt, but if you don't mind the digging into the 80's trash bin, you'll discover this more of a treasure then junk, I did. I liked the way everything was handled. Nothing is taken too far ( hell, look, they kept their PG13 rating, didn't they?), and it doesn't take anything too seriously. I am actually quite tricky when it comes to films that I feel violate women, this is why I easily discard titles such as The Stepford Wives. In fact, if I remember, these girls actually have a great defense against the "pink" terror this meteor is causing. Remember those Walkmans? Play it! No, put the earbuds in ...there ya go! See, there's an irritating noise being transmitted through the air waves, and when the girls hear it, it drives them crazy. When you can't hear it, it won't affect those women ( which the count of how many don't get affected by the noise transmission is very low. So low, I won't say how many.) I don't have too many complaints with the movie, I watched it in 1990, it was cheesy then, so I know it's even cheesier now. However, I can't deny it was a lot of fun to watch. It's running time won't over stay its welcome. My only complaints were (1) too much time with the whole woods scenery, and (2) maybe the law enforcement could have acted a little less dumb. In a nutshell, I give this trifle of a flick 5 out of 10, if you're looking for a good dumb 80's flick, hell, you're looking at it!

ichovil I don't think many people understand this movie. It was really quite a beautiful film about women mostly, well acted, and quite well scripted. Maybe you have to be an anthropologist to appreciate it. Before the last ice age and well into present times we were matriarchal and very sexual. The meteor only made our human nature more open. The meteor didn't die. After mating with a human male its babies can be seen bubbling up on the lake. Nobody here seems to understand what a pink Chiquita is. It's the title of the film people. It's what our species needs to continue surviving. There are some esoteric references in the film I don't understand. Clip appears in a very Beatles like uniform reminiscent of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on an amusement park merrigo round. I think the teen boys who initially found the meteor died. The only other death in the movie is the homosexual cross dresser. I bought this film because it was about what women were really like at one time, and I loved how normal life in the small town of Beamsville now was actually like. Loved Mary Ann. A librarian no less, married to a meteorolgist?

saucywench_bc I saw this movie years ago in a group tradition of Fast Forward Film Festivals, where we would set out to rent a bunch of B-movies and vote for who picked the worst.The night we watched this, it was voted the best, due to semblance of plot and fun costuming.This is certainly a silly, kitschy, movie, to be watched under the full understanding that you are watching low-budget fluff. Personally, however, I wouldn't recommend additional substances ... this movie will leave it's own mark on you.It made enough of an impression on me that I've actually been trying to get my hands on a copy for a few years.A good choice if you are setting out to watch bad movies. This one is fun, and I remember bouncy music ...

junk-monkey To say this film stinks would be insulting to skunks. As the other commenter says, this movie is insulting to anyone over the mental age of 7 (it is especially, incredibly insulting to gays). It is awful - and not in a "so bad it's funny" sort of way either - it's just plain awful. No, I have to say it: IT STINKS! (sorry skunks).From the opening credits to the end titles there is hardly more than 10 seconds of this movie worth opening your eyes for. The "plot" is incoherent, the characterization non-existent, the acting is of the over the top mugging "look at me I'm being funny!" school and so it goes on. The set pieces are clumsily set up (if at all) and are badly executed, it's just awful on every front - apart from the music maybe, I don't remember thinking the music stinks (apart from the songs).To be fair to the makers, they lay their cards on the table pretty quickly: the opening credits include the title "Also starring Ertha Kitt as the voice of Betty the meteor" (since as the meteor in question turns out never never say anything but make an occasional purring noise they may well have lifted Ms. Kitt's contribution from one of her records) and the second line of the movie runs something like: "...and scientists have discovered new facts about the rings around Uranus." Uranus - "Your Anus" geddit? geddit? huh? huh?? Your Anus? The humour really is that cheap.It says strange things about the "comedies" of that period in that it was perfectly permissable for the hero to deliberately shoot people dead in the street but not say "sh*t" out loud.I paid fifty pence (about $1.00) for this movie in a sale. I feel ripped off.
