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.
