best movie i've ever seen.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I am not reading any of the reviews (yet) until I compose this one. This is a teen movie, for sure, but I have been waiting to catch this one for a while, and finally caught it on TV here in Sydney. As far as teen flicks go - I liked it (otherwise I would not mention it): almost no inter-teen cruelty, no gratuitous nudity (almost), just - a kind treatment of the characters involved.
With the right casting, could be great. The addition of smartphones alone is crazy. Sean Penn as Mr. Hand is a no brainer. Any thoughts? The cars, the music, the teachers. Mark "Rat" Ratner as the science teacher? It basically writes itself. We gotta get Kristen Stewart to play all the parts of the Pat Benatar role :)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN1SB7SzaRI
This is a FUN movie. Brings me back to the early 1980's. Sean Penn, what a performance.I see a lot of negative reviews. I think those people don't understand. This movie isn't trying to be anything other than it is. It's just meant to be a time capsule of high school in the 1980s.Does it have a great plot? Not really. Does it even have a plot? Not really, but that's not the point. The film is an adventure and takes you on a ride with the characters. It also captures a piece of the 1980s I haven't seen emulated since.Also, Nic Cage gives a wonderfully understated performance.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High takes place in a high school in California during the 80's. The movie is meant to show the lives of highschoolers that you don't see and just go into their lives. The movie is a very entertaining movie with many laughs in it. The story however is very minor and takes the backseat to the comedy. You can relate to the characters very well if you are in high school, even though they look at least 10 years older, and the film is definitely geared towards the younger teenage audience. In order to enjoy this film you can't take it seriously and just enjoy it. It is a quick movie and it is a very easy movie to watch and i would recommend it to any young person looking for a funny movie to watch.
