Cyndi Lauper, Jeff Goldblum, Peter Falk and Julian Sands star in this 1988 comedy. This tells of Sylvia (Lauper), a gifted psychic from New York who meets Nick (Goldblum), another psychic and they find romance with each other. They're asked by man, Harry (Falk) to find his missing son in Ecuador only to learn they're being tricked into finding an ancient temple instead. Sands (Warlock) plays Harrison, a doctor who works with Nick and Sylvia. I grew up watching this film and always liked it. Lauper and Goldblum are good in it and have good chemistry plus James Horner's score is great as usual. I recommend this good 80's supernatural comedy.

Jeff Goldblum, Cindy Lauper, and Peter Falk star in "Vibes," a 1988 comedy.Goldblum and Lauper play psychics Nicky Deezy and Sylvia Pickel (pronounced pick-EL) who are at an institute where their abilities are being tested. Sylvia has a spirit guide named Louise, and Nick's specialty is psychometry, which is picking up vibes from objects. They are approached by Harry Buscafusco (Peter Falk) to find his son in Ecuador. Since he's offering a great deal of money, they accept.Falk is lying, of course, and it doesn't take Goldblum long to figure it out. He wants them to find a hidden temple in the mountains where all the psychic energy in the world comes from. One of his friends found it, but is now comatose. But they're not the only ones looking for it.This is sort of a Raiders of the Lost Ark meets The Power. What makes it a cut above a fluffy comedy is the casting of Cindy Lauper, a unique personality, the talented, quirky Jeff Goldblum, and the always wonderful Peter Falk. I think my favorite scene is the one where Goldblum confronts him, and Falk quickly makes up another story to support his lies.Fun movie.

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.

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!'
