    Editorial Reviews

    While the styles and slang terms made Fast Times at Ridgemont High a pop culture touchstone of the early 1980s, the film's restless adolescence remains dead-on: Anyone who has been a teen will likely see a part of themselves somewhere at Ridgemont High. Director Amy Heckerling's exuberant film -- based on a script from Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous), who had gone undercover in a Southern California high school to take the pulse of America's teens in the early '80s -- shot for "awesome," and scored several direct hits. Foremost among these are the hilarious moments when stoned surfer Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) is on the screen. Charming, too, in early career-making roles are Judge Reinhold and Jennifer Jason Leigh as the dorky fast-food worker Brad Hamilton and his sister Stacy, respectively. The poolside fantasy Heckerling creates for Brad, with Phoebe Cates as the overripe object of his teenage male hormonal rampage, is at once sizzling, smart, and silly. In this teen universe, life is about crappy jobs, uninspiring classes, borrowed cars (from their parents), and sexual anxiety. That Heckerling turns it into something giddy rather than depressing is a major feat. Dave Roth, Barnes & Noble

    GREAT MOVIE AND DVD...LOST DURING SHIPPING!by DEFRAUD

    September 10, 2009: I dont know what ever possessed me to buy online from Barnes & Noble....I guess the discount coupons really work, right!

    Putting aside my own naiveness and greed, already punished greatly by the total incompetence of the delivery service and the contempt of the so called "customer service", i would like to recommend this movie for new generations: More than a classic, a great movie. Dated, but still concerning some values of today´s youth.

    DONT EVER ORDER ANYTHING ONLINE FROM BARNES AND NOBLE. YOU LIKE THE STORE? CHECK THE ONE NEXT TO YOU!

    If you don´t, be prepared for the longest two months of delivery ever, automatic responses from customer service 5 days after your inquiries online, and a treatment not even dogs deserve.

    This review was written about the DVD Wide Screen / DTS edition.
