VHS Movie Reviews of Fast Times at Ridgemont High [VHS]
Movie Review: Huh, Those dudes are fa...
Summary: 5 Stars
When it comes to Sid you may think we're all about b and nothing else, but that's just not true. Yes we do love a horribly low budget straight to video releases but also have a big place in the stocking for some corny 80's comedy. Despite the fact that most 80's films are well loved among the masses they do walk the line of b just perfect enough for Sid to get plenty of enjoyment. Fast Times at Ridgemont high is one of those classics that never seems to lose it's luster.
We won't bother with the synopsis since almost everyone on earth has watched this at least once before. If you haven't it's pretty much your typical high school 80's comedy except with a great cast along the board. Naturally Sid's 2 favorites are stoner Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) and Linda Barrett (Phoebe Cates) for obvious reasons. Spicoli's constant baked dialogue is just perfect and Linda's famous scene getting out of the pool is possible the finest 80's moment in history. It certainly gets the Santa seal of approval. Sid 100% has and will always love this flick and plan on honoring Spicoli at this years Woody Awards for the best stoner lifetime achievement award.
Summary of Fast Times at Ridgemont High [VHS]
Before he became an overrated filmmaker, Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire) was a reporter for Rolling Stone who was so youthful looking that he could go undercover for a year at a California high school and write a book about it. He wrote the script for this film, based on that book, and it launched the careers of several young actors, including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, and, above all, Sean Penn. The story line is episodic, dealing with the lives of iconic teen types: one of the school's cool kids, a nerd, a teen queen, and, most enjoyably, the class stoner (Penn), who finds himself at odds with a strict history teacher (a wonderfully spiky Ray Walston). This is not a great movie but very entertaining and, for a certain age group, a seminal movie experience. --Marshall FineBefore he became an overrated filmmaker, Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire) was a reporter for Rolling Stone who was so youthful looking that he could go undercover for a year at a California high school and write a book about it.
