Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
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 Fine

Of young adults comedy concludes all the stuff usual-a loss of virginity, indifference, pregnancy and a really loving schoolmate.
Fun to watch, drama to live.

The Bottom Line:
Not up to par with Cameron Crowe's later work, FTaRH features a pastiche of scenes and characters in search of a plot or guiding thread; 80s nostalgia aside, it's not a very special or interesting movie.

FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH is the best comical high school movie I've ever seen along with the fact that this DVD has some very interesting bonus features on it as well like showing scenes of "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" where they played a popular hit song in the 1980's like "She's Gonna Be Somebody's Baby Tonight" by Jackson Browne, "We Got The Beat" by The Go Go's, etc.
In addition to some of the interesting bonus features on this DVD, it showed the cast & crew of "Fast Times" ... Read More

"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" is the quintessential teen/'80s movie. And it's one of those movies that I can watch over and over again and never get tired of because it's so funny.
It's hard to say who my favorite person was in the film because everyone was likeable in their own way. I probably like Jennifer Jason Leigh the best as Stacy because there was a certain charm and innocence to her that none of the other characters really had. Judge Reinhold gave an exceptional performance as Stacy's ... Read More

Fast Times has always been a classic comedy. Who could ever forget the name Jeff Spiccoli?? Good movie to see if you haven't already, but don't watch it with your younger children.
