Movie synopsis

Nascent filmmaker and then-Rolling Stone journalist Cameron Crowe went undercover in a southern California high school to document the hilarious hijinx of teens in the 1980s. Director Amy Heckerling turned his book into a classic teen comedy--equal parts sex, stoners, sensitivity, and satire. Many of the young cast--most notably, Sean Penn and Jennifer Jason Leigh--went on to Hollywood fame. A milestone in '80s teen flicks.

"...The really good part of FAST TIMES is Sean Penn as a spaced-out, irresponsible surfer....Penn is a joy to watch at work....Similarly, Judge Reinhold is terrific..."
Variety - Har. (08/11/1982)

"...All these young actors are relaxed, funny and natural. But the movie's real scene stealer is Sean Penn..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (09/03/1982)

"...More sophisticated than the average high-school romp. There's an inspired turn from Sean Penn..."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (06/01/2000)

"...Lifted by Sean Penn's hugely charismatic, doped-up surfer dude..."
Total Film - Daniel Webb (08/01/2003)

Entertainment Weekly - Entertainment Weekly Staff (01/11/2002)

"[This] reality-inspired testament to the cliques, pitfalls, and accidental hilarity of being a teenager coined most of high-school-movie short-hand..."
Premiere - Premiere Staff (12/01/2003)

"With its surface zest complementing melancholy underpinnings, director Amy Heckerling's take on a smart Cameron Crowe script ambushed everyone who expected just another teen comedy."

A Great Classic 80's Movie

Created: 04/05/08
Well first off, I like the fact that it is a true 80's movie. And since I grew up in the 80's it made me feel like a kid again and remember some of the things that were going on back then, even the price of gas (like $.88). Also, it's always good to see the movies that your great actors/actresses started out in and how young they were (some even went by their full name back then). Last but not least, I decided to buy Fast Times At Ridgemont High because it's a must have 80's, teen, high school, ask a girl out, take a girl to the point, lose your virginity, prom night, classic for my DVD archives.

An 80's teenage high school movie classic. If you attended high school in the 70's of 80's you'll definitely identify with one of the characters. This movie covers them all: the stoner, the popular girl, the nerd and the virgin to name a few. For anyone under twenty years old, this movie is a glimpse of what your parent's high school was like. Besides, you'll get to see a lot of young actors who eventually became big stars.

I bought this to share with my Grandchildren, who are now teenagers. Their parents enjoyed it many years ago, and I knew they would enjoy it. I liked how teens are portrayed. They are still like those in the flick, years later ! Funny and experimenting !

This is an all time classic movie, funny and serious. Sean Penn as ? Spicoli ? is the best in his hilarious role !
