"I first saw Valley Girl back when I was in college and remember really enjoying it, it's a fun 80's teen movie with an early Nicolas Cage performance. Looking forward to the rewatch."

" Director: Martha Coolidge Her 3rd movie My 3rd movie watched from the director A classic 80s rom-com that has been on the list for years and finally found its moment. There is nothing great about it, but it does have an entertaining 80s feel to it and the characters are fun. The story is nothing interesting, it's mainly the overall setting that is the attraction.

"First viewing - Nov. 7th I checked out Valley Girl out of curiosity, as I know it's got fans. And it's fine I guess. It feels like a time capsule at this point, very '80s through and through.

Valitettavan tylsässä kasarileffassa on yksi kovan luokan solvaus: Nicolas Cage seisoskelee leffateatterissa 3D-lasit päässä, kunnes hänelle tullaan puhumaan. -Is this film in 3D? -No, but your face is! Lopussa Cagesta tulee päättäjäisten kuningas, vaikkei hän edes käy koulua, jonka päättäreistä on kyse. Muu leffa on haukotuttavan arvoton tapaus."

An average movie

“To be honest, I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Nicolas Cage, I thought I might as well check it out. In fact, it was Cage's 2nd movie and his very first leading part. Well, to be honest, I actually ended up with some mixed feelings about the damned thing. I mean, first of all, the plot was rather thin and it was involving such vapid and shallow characters. But, then, on the other hand, I have to admit that the characters were actually quite realistic and the whole thing did feel genuine. I also enjoyed the fact that Nicolas Cage and Deborah Foreman both looked like some average teenagers or young adults and not some like top-models.
