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)
"Vibes" is an overlooked gem, waiting to be discovered. It's faults (weak special effects, and underdeveloped script) are swamped by the enthusiastic performances of Cyndi Lauper and Jeff Goldblum. There are so many quick one liners that could easily be missed, multiple viewings are almost mandatory. Peter Falk delivers some real gems too. I can see why the film never found an audience, because it is very silly in parts, yet knives in the back are nothing to laugh at. I say this, go in expecting some dark humor along with endearing acting from Lauper and Goldblum and you will not be disappointed. Simply come along for the ride and leave logic at home. - MERK
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.

This is one of my favorite movies from the 80's, I know it's cheesy but thats what I loved about it and Peter Falk is hilarious. The way the three main characters play off each other is brilliant and who knew Cindi Lauper could act???
This movie was never going to win any awards and they all knew that before they started filming, Jeff Goldblum has always shown up in oddball movies ranging from Comedy to Drama To Sci-fi to Horror showing his range in acting.
OK, no matter your opinion on this film the big Question is.... when will this movie be released on DVD?
Has anyone heard any possible release date?
