Fast Times at Ridgemont High - Collector?s Edition

Date of Review:  Feb 14, 2004
The Bottom Line: Follow a year in the life of 80's high-school students with a terrific cast and dead-on story.
Review: For years, if you'd asked me what was the defining teen movie in my life, I would have answered The Breakfast Club without a second thought. However, with the passage of almost twenty years since I graduated high school, I've gained a bit of a...

What are you people? On dope?

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2002
The Bottom Line: Fast Times At Ridgemont High remains one of the classics of the 1980's. The cast, characters and plot all mesh together for an enjoyable and interesting view.
Review: Utter any of the memorable lines from Fast Times At Ridgemont High and chances are someone within earshot will chime in and help finish the phrase. Without a doubt, this is one of the most memorable films of the early 80?s and I still can?t believe...

No, I Don't Have Any Blue Oyster Cult

Date of Review:  Nov 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: Fast Times At Ridgemont High is a classic teenage comedy. It's funny, entertaining and a must for any fan of comedies.
Review: Coming of age films have long been standard fare in Hollywood. Usually, they are not the most original films that are produced. The scripts are pretty standard and often follow the "color by numbers" principal. However, every once and a while...

Jeff Spicoli: The Original Slacker

Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2000
Review: Released in 1982, Fast Times At Ridgemont High is the love child of director, Amy Heckerling, (Clueless), and writer, Cameron Crowe, (Rolling Stone). Often reviled for having no socially redeeming qualities, it's a movie you will either love or...

funny and insightful but not quite as culturally significant as they say

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2004
The Bottom Line: It's got a lot of good laughs but there's too many dramatic elements for a comedy like this. Either take them seriously or don't include them at all.
Review: Up until the 1980's there hadn't been a lot of movies about high school kids that were very honest or realistic, but then came John Hughes and The Brat Pack. But those films might not have existed if it wasn't for "Fast Times At Ridgemont High."...

They had one thing in common, they were good in bed.

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2004
The Bottom Line: See it. But view it as less of a nostalgia trip and more of a commentary on the banality of teenage life.
Review: Many people who went to high school in the early 1980s (1980-85 range) tend to see Fast Times At Ridgemont High as an affectionate, nostalgic look back at teenage life in that era. Maybe it's because I didn't go to high school in that era (I went...

Time and Again

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2004
The Bottom Line: Cameron Crowe's and Amy Heckerling's tribute to early 80s high school ended up having cultural significance beyond what they might have expected.
Review: Everything's going absolutely swimmingly on The Girl From Oz, my new theatrical project which will mark my triumphant return to the Gay White Way of the Broadway theater. Hugh Jackman's run in the original is up mid-September and we plan on packing...

"Hey, bud, let's party!"

Date of Review:  Feb 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Fast Times at Ridgemont High is one of the rare teen-sex comedies that deserves its reputation as a classic of the genre. Worth a look!
Review: It's hard to believe, really, that almost a quarter of a century has passed since Fast Times at Ridgemont High premiered in 1982, marking the screenwriting debut of Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire), showcasing the talents of such actors as Sean Penn,...

"That was my skull! I'm so wasted!"

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: Awesome! Totally Awesome!
Review: "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" was the 1982 directing debut of Amy Heckerling, who went on to direct "Look Who's Talking" and "Clueless". In addition it was a film that put several young actors and actresses on the map, including Sean Penn, Jennifer...

'59 Buick Invicta and a carrot suck? Irresistible

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: See it without judging it for social significance - it's an absolute GAS!
Review: If you're looking for an astute and scholarly appraisal of the social significance of Fast Times at Ridgemont High please look for another review. This isn't it. As those of you who know me can attest, I don't write intellectual reviews - probably...
