Review of Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) by Rick Groen for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) — 25 May 1996
If the publicity release can be believed, he worked an entire year "undercover as a student to research teenage life". On the basis of what surfaces here - one stock phrase (the kids say "Go for it]" a lot) and a multitude of stock characters - Crowe might better have spent the time curled up with re-runs of Ozzie and Harriet.
Give this intrepid researcher 12 months at General Motors and he might just discover the wheel.
