Fast Times at Ridgemont High

USA 1982, 86 minutes
Dir. Amy Heckerling
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Classics, Comedy / Youth

Feat. Jennifer Jason Leigh, Sean Penn, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates

Aroview: This early-80s teen pic survives a lot better than most, finding surprisingly subtle shades of the adolescent experience amid some frank mistrials of the facts of life.

Jennifer Jason Leigh (in her screen debut) pitches the right mix of goofy and sexy, plus there's great comic turns by Sean Penn as a stoner, Judge Reinhold as a frustrated senior, Phoebe Cates as a bikini-horse, and a fine cast of lesser-knowns.

3 stars (Good Enough) Brave film making for its day and will stand the test of time.The boys are forgettable and only fill the gaps for Go Get Them Jennifer and Wise for Her Age Phoebe - both are great. ~Tubbs
