This is a fun, underrated film that suffers from a poorly thought-out title. The 80s was ripe with psychic films like Dreamscape and Poltergeist; and of course Raiders of the Lost Arc was the big blockbuster of the decade. Vibes plays on both of these popular themes, and the title is probably meant to denote the humorous aspect since the term "vibes" was a popular phrase in the 80s used to express a sense of good or bad feelings from a person or thing, mainly attributed to hippy or quasi-guru types that were not taken very seriously.
But if you're a fan of Goldblum or Lauper, this will be a real treat. Both are visually at their prime here and the plot is a comedy-drama that is surprisingly not bad. Peter Faulk does a decent job however totally obliterates his Columbo persona.
The delivery is a bit stiff at times but overall a decent watch with a surprisingly good soundtrack.
