Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Directed by Amy Heckerling
1982
★ 5.9 editorial score
Cameron Crowe enrolled in a California high school undercover for a year and wrote down what he heard: the result launched half a decade of careers and still sounds like actual teenagers.
“Can there be anything about life in high school, particularly life in a suburban California high school, that the movie-going public hasn't already seen? Well, maybe there can. A little bit of it turns up in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," a jumbled but appealing teen-age comedy with something of a fresh perspective on the subject.”
