Since it is a huge classic, I really had high expectations before watching it. Eventually, it was not good as I expected it to be. I mean, it is a good movie, entertaining and funny but I didn't see anything great about it and I was definitely not blown away by the whole thng. Still, it was quite awesome to see Sean Penn at the beginning of his career playing a stoner but, thank god, he managed to... read more

"What Jefferson was saying was, Hey! You know, we left this England place 'cause it was bogus; so if we don't get some cool rules ourselves - pronto - we'll just be bogus too! Get it?"

For most overrated movies I could still find at least a couple good things about them. Besides eye candy there was nothing good about this movie and fo"
"Director Amy Heckerling has failed to provide the raunch or poignancy that would interest young moviegoers, all of whom have seen American Graffiti and its 467 imitators. Ridgemont High? A nice place to visit, but who would want to transfer there?

Also, this was Cameron crowe's first film, not to mention, it featured some of the earliest appearances of budding stars like Nick Cage, Forrest Whitaker, Eric Solz & Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Oh, & did I mention that it features the groundbreaking bikini shot of a wet Phoebe Cates?"

Send me off to private school
When I'm with you, it's paradise
