Review of Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) by Steph O — 30 Jul 2010
There are definitely better high school movies than "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", but it's still pretty decent. Some funny moments, some sweet moments. And of course there's the very famous bikini-pool scene starring Phoebe Cates.
Sean Penn's stoner character is the highlight for sure though. To me it felt like a slightly updated but inferior "American Graffiti". So if you're looking for one of those classic, brilliant teen coming-of-age movies I'd go for "American Graffiti", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", or the greatest high school movie of all time (in my opinion anyway) - "The Breakfast Club".
