Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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.

budby One of those times when you wonder how all that talent and money could result in such an utter TOAD of a movie! The part where Cyndi grabs the pyramid and goes into what I guess is supposed to be a mystic trance is truly embarrassing to watch.Cyndi Lauper was a great performer as a singer, and I would argue that singers become successful actors more often than actors become successful singers.(Cher, Bruce Willis...rest my case) Cyndi, unfortunately, apparently learned her dramatic chops from Hulk Hogan, and has all the natural screen presence of a biological specimen.As for Jeff Goldblum, I admit I've never really 'got' his appeal. All his characters are the same smirking, self-satisfied, yet slightly nerdish guy...interesting enough I suppose...once. Still, he has been in one or two decent movies, but this...this....words fail me....This movie is to dumb to even make 'cult' status.

r_wessling Films, in which pop stars act, are usually denied critical acclaim (just as film stars, who sing). But I believe, there is should be no automatic condemnation! Of course, watching 'Vibes' does not make you a better or more intellectual person, but it has absolutely brilliant one-lines throughout the conversations between Cyndi Lauper and Jeff Goldblum, which are hard to beat, such as 'I like breathing … I'm good at it' or 'do you number everything?'. And if you are looking for two people, who do not take themselves seriously at all, Lauper and Goldblum are the perfect couple.As long as you like 'weird' movies, 'Vibes' will not disappoint you. If you can only digest mainstream, you are likely to be bored. All I can say: 'a shame it's not on DVD yet!'

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 ****
