Movie Description
Nascent filmmaker and then-Rolling Stone journalist Cameron Crowe went undercover in a southern California high school to document the hilarious hijinx of teens in the 1980s. Director Amy Heckerling turned his book into a classic teen comedy--equal parts sex, stoners, sensitivity, and satire. Many of the young cast--most notably, Sean Penn and Jennifer Jason Leigh--went on to Hollywood fame. A milestone in '80s teen flicks.
Synopsis
This highly appealing teen comedy created a host of new stars -- including Sean Penn -- and features a lively rock music soundtrack. The freewheeling story chronicles the sexual insecurities and adventures of a group of Southern California high school students. These shopping mall regulars experiment with drugs, surfing techniques and various fast-food secret sauce combinations. And in class (when they even go to class!) they wreak havoc -- especially when the pizza delivery arrives...
Industry Reviews
"...The really good part of FAST TIMES is Sean Penn as a spaced-out, irresponsible surfer....Penn is a joy to watch at work....Similarly, Judge Reinhold is terrific..."
Variety - Har. (08/11/1982)
"...All these young actors are relaxed, funny and natural. But the movie's real scene stealer is Sean Penn..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (09/03/1982)
"...More sophisticated than the average high-school romp. There's an inspired turn from Sean Penn..."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (06/01/2000)
"...Lifted by Sean Penn's hugely charismatic, doped-up surfer dude..."
Total Film - Daniel Webb (08/01/2003)
"...It's often thought of as the quintessential 1980s teen flick....It portrayed real teens dealing with real issues..."
Entertainment Weekly - Entertainment Weekly Staff (01/11/2002)
"[This] reality-inspired testament to the cliques, pitfalls, and accidental hilarity of being a teenager coined most of high-school-movie short-hand..."
Premiere - Premiere Staff (12/01/2003)
"With its surface zest complementing melancholy underpinnings, director Amy Heckerling's take on a smart Cameron Crowe script ambushed everyone who expected just another teen comedy."
USA Today - Mike Clark (03/16/2004)
