#1080 Vibes (1988)
Cyndi Lauper, Jeff Goldblum and Peter Falk as the leads are the part of the Vibes that works.
Much of the adventure bit really don’t, and Vibes ends up something of a weaker iteration of The Golden Child released two years before, with bit of additional psychic mumbo jumbo and a hint of Indiana Jones thrown in the mix. While the first half of the movie feels like stalling as the protagonists never seems to be able to make it to the actual expedition, as the adventure part starts it turns out to be much weaker portion of the movie. Including the final encounter with the pyramid that looks as if was haphazardly put together with bit of a plexiglass and hot glue, making it one of the least impressive MacGuffins I’ve seen to date.
Luckily much of the humour works, which along with the strong cast makes Vibes tolerable, if not outright recommendable experience.
