Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), Amy Heckerling:
Yeah, so I hadn't seen this before. I feel like I must've been deprived growing up without Phoebe Cates' breasts. I did, however, get enough Judge Reinhold from Beverly Hills Cop.
It plays halfway between a bittersweet John Hughes teen comedy (though it predates all of them) and a bittersweet Cameron Crowe human drama, which is not really a good thing. I missed Nic "Coppola" and Anthony Edwards the first time through but thank you DVD featurette for pulling every frame in which either of them appeared. Also, Amy Heckerling is scary-looking.
8/15
