Fast Times at Ridgemont High Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Amy Heckerling
Genres: Comedy
Rating:
Amy_Heckerling's adaptation of Cameron_Crowe's -Fast Times at Ridgemont High is often considered one of the finest films of a disreputable genre (the teen sex comedy), and kick-started the careers of many future stars. The center of this ensemble film is Jennifer_Jason_Leigh as Stacy Hamilton. She is a young, innocent high-school student who, as the film opens, is asking for advice from her friend, the sexually outspoken Linda Barrett (Phoebe_Cates). Stacy takes a liking to nebbish Mark Ratner (Brian_Backer), but he is too afraid to make a move even after Stacy all but throws herself at him. She eventually hooks up with Mark's more confident best friend, Mike Damone (Robert_Romanus). When not concerning itself with these four characters, the film spends time with stoned surfer dude Jeff Spicoli (Sean_Penn) and his ongoing feud with history teacher Mr. Hand (Ray_Walston). The film includes brief appearances by such future stars as Nicolas_Cage, Eric_Stoltz, and Forest_Whitaker. Perry Seibert, Rovi
