I can see by its rather low score here and its measly box office take that most people did not enjoy this film all that much. I, for whatever reasons, did. I thought it was a good comedy/action hybrid movie that was good almost all the way through. Sure it got a bit heavy near the end, but overall it was a fun movie. The story has a guy recruiting a lady with psychic powers to help him find some sort of lost city and there is gold to be found. Her powers though are not the most reliable as she gets messages from a person long gone. So she in turn recruits a gentleman with more consistent powers. They end up though being sought after by a more dubious person who is also in search for the ruins. I thought both Jeff Goldblum and Cyndi Lauper were good in their roles, though I do believe Cyndi's character was not to much of a stretch. I also enjoyed Peter Falk who played the man who wanted their assistance. I liked it when they went to the foreign country, and for the most part the comedy was good in this one to me. I do think it got a bit to strange during the end, but it was not a total hindrance to the rest of the film either. All in all I thought it was a rather good film.

It has been about 4 years since I've seen this movie. I still, up until as recently as last weekend, look for it at the swap meet, in libraries, at Blockbuster. All to no avail. Glad to read it is supposed to come out on DVD early in '09.Jeff Goldblum is always interesting, Peter Faulk is always likable and hilarious.The biggest surprise is Cyndi Lauper. She can not only act, but really wins you over with the sincerity of which she played her character. I was blown away by the strength and beauty of her voice when she sang without accompaniment. Although that scene was a very small part of the movie, she really impressed me.Am looking forward to the next time I get to see it.

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!'

Sylvia (Cyndi Lauper) and Nick (Jeff Goldblum) meet at an institute studying those individuals who have psychic abilities. Sylvia channels a lady named Louise, who can predict the future, and Nick can touch objects and then give detailed accounts of the objects' history. Whew! This twosome do not exactly hit it off, at first. Then, Sylvia learns that her boyfriend only wants her around so he can win at the racetrack and Nick discovers his long-standing partner has been cheating, too. Suddenly, Harry (Peter Falk) appears and asks for the duo's help in locating his missing son in Ecuador. He'll pay bigtime, of course. It's off to South America, to battle forces of evil in a quest for truth and, possibly, a treasure. Can Sylvia and Nick begin to like each other among the Inca ruins?This is, truly, a funny movie. Lauper does a great job as the much put-upon Brooklyn dame and Goldblum is quite nice as her more learned and unexpected suitor. Falk is just down right hilarious as the scheming Harry. The script has some great one-liners and surprises while who can resist an exotic setting south of the border? If you should stumble across this film on television or at the video store, give it a whirl. It will bring a dose of sunshine into your life.
