Very disappointing...
A lot of fun.
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
There are a few films that come along that hit you right in your heart. I will never forget Valley Girl. It was truly a special experience. What a lovely cast and fun story!If you haven't seen it, what are you doing? Nicolas Cage is a riot in this one and I have to say, looks pretty good. ;)
Valley Girl has become one of my favourite romantic comedies to watch because it's funny, classic and stylish. I bought it on DVD from Walmart a few years ago, it's like Romeo & Juliet meets the 1980's but with awesome music and a totally cool story.Nicolas Cage at 19 was handsome and the perfect choice to play Randy a punk from the city who finds love with a girl from the valley,the cast includes Deborah Foreman as the love interest, Frederic Forrest & Colleen Camp as the hippie parents, Michael Bowen as the jock ex- boyfriend Elizabeth Daily, Heidi Hollicker & Michelle Meyrink as Julie's friends, and Cameron Dye as Randy's friend.The story is simple Julie (Foreman) a girl from the Valley fed up with her boyfriend Tommy's (Bowen) attitude breaks up with him and begins to date Randy (Cage) a punk from Hollywood High. That's when the fun & romance takes off as they get to know each other by falling in love, however her friends Loryn, Susie & Stacey are disgusted and pressure her to end the relationship and go back to her ex. The most iconic scene occurs during the junior prom when Randy finally gets his revenge and a fight breaks out that ends with Julie dumping Tommy for the second time and reuniting with her true love. The end scene shows the young lovers departing into the night in a limousine and Modern English's I Melt With You playing during the credits.For fans of 80's movies and romance Valley Girl is for sure to entertain and please anyone who enjoys good times and cool tunes.
the movie is precious, and cage is a babe. but will anyone agree with me in saying that the punk representation in this movie is ATROCIOUS?!?! where's the clash? the ramones?? misfits? social distortion? the cramps?? sex pistols?! ANYONE?!?!?!?! the music is this movie is incredibly disappointing! at LEAST they play the cure.plus, randy's feathered hair and pleated khakis...this definitely looks like a movie about "punks" the way that a bunch of movie industry squares see punks.although it's a 90's movie, SLC punk paints a much more accurate picture of the punk rock scene in the early 1980's. just sayin'.
Valley Girl takes the viewed through a time warp of how the 80s were in California. Most of the music in the movie is repeated & should be. What a historic trip down sunset to see what it looked like ,passing the famous Manns China theater where the stars planted their hands in the cement.Nicolas Cage was charming & Debra(his girlfriend) was so Groovy. I can't believe we talked that way in the 80s.The sound track for the movie is a real treasure especially Modern English & the song 'don't let it get me'. Josie, a Texas band, made the trip to play at the Valley Prom. That's a real delight to see her play.Above all watch the movie again with the directors comments on. Quite a surprise this movie made that much money & became a huge Hit. on the slimmest of a budget.Also plays in full screen,the DVD is double sided, which is better. ENJOY....
