Vibes (1988)

Two psychics (Cyndi Lauper, Jeff Goldblum) are hired by a mysterious man (Peter Falk) to find his missing son who disappeared in Ecuador. But when they arrive in Ecuador, they suspect the man isn't telling them his real reasons for being there. Directed by Ken Kwapis (SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS), the film is a misfire on just about every level. This was pop singer Cyndi Lauper's film debut and while she has a natural screen presence, VIBES pretty much sunk any chance of a movie career. Critics disliked it and audiences stayed away. The film can't seem to make up its mind whether it wants to be ROMANCING THE STONE or RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Goldblum and Lauper don't have any chemistry so so much for the romance and Kwapis's lackluster direction eliminates any genuine thrills on the action front. With Julian Sands, Steve Buscemi, Elizabeth Pena, John Kapelos, Michael Lerner, Ramon Bieri, Karen Akers and an annoying actor by the name of Googy Gress.
