Vibes is a harmless, painless romp but it's an instance of a sincere attempt at screwball comedy that simply got screwed up.

Vibes is a low-vibration romantic comedy about two incompatible psychics falling in love on an Ecuadorean treasure hunt, and everything in it seems nine or 10 beats off.
Michael Wilmington, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
Luckily, Vibes has those quirky stars, a wacky threesome who give off good vibes under any circumstances.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
The romantic suspense soon takes a back seat to some singularly unimpressive special effects.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
Vibes has all the ingredients of lighthearted adventure-comedy except the essential one: laughs.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
