El misterio de la pirámide de oro

I've seen this movie about 30 times and it always makes me feel good.. I don't know what it is about this movie but it seems to help me through bad times. Theres something in the atmosphere in the film that makes me feel good and the environment where the movie is made is just beautiful. (yeah, sure.. the 'real' film critics are saying that you can't rate a movie just on behalf of the spectacular scenery but FU, I say). I can rate a movie just the way i want to! Isn't that what IMDB is all about? I enjoyed this movie and I hope many others will too. Don't stare at the ratings. If you want to see a fun movie that's not too "serious". Rent this movie and let your brain rest for awhile, just enjoy the the scenery, the acting, the story and the eighties !! Cheers to all from Finland.

For some reason then I have actually never seen the 1988 adventure comedy "Vibes". And even more surprisingly so, as the movie even has my favorite actor on the cast list. But I guess it is because I never stumbled upon a copy of the movie before now in 2021.

Needless to say that I opted to sit down, on the accounts of it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, the synopsis sounded good, and the movie had Julian Sands on the cast list. And of course, having the likes of Jeff Goldblum and Peter Falk on the cast list definitely helped to sweeten the deal.

The storyline told in "Vibes" was good. This wasn't a movie that required a whole lot of concentration or investment from the audience as it was a fairly light-hearted and non-too serious movie. So you just switch off the brain, grab whatever snack you have, lean back and watch the movie.

They had gotten together a good ensemble of actors and actresses for the movie. And I will say that Cyndi Lauper actually did perform surprisingly well here, something that was I a bit hesitant about having her in a lead role. But she surprised me with her performance. It was also fun to watch Jeff Goldblum and Peter Falk in their roles. It was a shame, though, that Julian Sands didn't have more time on the screen.

If you enjoy a light adventure movie, then "Vibes" is certainly a good choice. And despite its age, it is a movie that has aged well, and it quite watchable today.

I am rating "Vibes" a six out of ten stars.

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 ****

Whatever the quality of the acting, the scenery, the locations etc., this movie is just good clean fun - so much so that you can see the actors themselves grinning during certain scenes.

There are some great one-liners, some unique actions - find the "handshake" at the racetrack for a good example.

The opening music is dramatic (low end's are cool) and Cyndi's closing number is a classic.

Yes, this film is not as sophisticated as many others but who want's sophistication all the time? I've chilled out in front of this movie several times and find it as endearing and never one I'd want to sleep through!

If you get a chance to see it, then do so - chill out, have a laugh!

I think Vibes was a very funny film. Jeff Goldblum and Cyndi Lauper were very cute together and Peter Falk was very delightful to watch. The plot was crazy but I think it was supposed to be. The special effects were very good and you couldn't help but like the characters (mostly Cyndi Lauper)
