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.

I have fond memories of this movie from when it came out, so all these years later I decided to watch it again, and I still really like it. It's very silly, but it's reasonably funny and the Indiana-Jones-style adventure aspects are pretty well done.The big surprise of the movie when it came out was Cyndi Lauper as a wacky psychic who dresses like a very colorful hooker. She was surprisingly effective as an actress, even though she was simply playing her basic persona. She and Goldblum make one of the most atypical Hollywood romantic couples I think I've ever seen. I won't call this a great comedy, but it is a hugely likable one.

I know its a cheesy movie, but overall it was entertaining and fun. I'm also Ecuadorian and I come from the place where they shoot the film, Cojitambo (Cañar, Ecuador). This movie brings good memories for me, since I can see some known people from my village and my elementary school.daria84 says "they showed an awesome footage of Ambato (a City located in the highlands) in the end of the movie when Sylvia is out in the balcony", let me tell you that's not Ambato, but that's Cojitambo's Hill shot from Azogues. If you don't believe me, search online for "Cojitambo" and you will see.

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.
