Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Realrockerhalloween Valley girl is an upbeat comedy from the 80s about a girl named Julie who falls in love with a boy named Randy over the course of a year to an awesome soundtrack. A modern Romeo and Juliet set in the heart of the Valley without the suicides.It explores the teen culture with Valley girl talk, fashion trends, music and of course the mall. A vehicle into a time long forgotten the simplicity and the night life in the city drawling you into their mystic world. Being Nicholas Cafe's first film it was a breath of fresh air to see him as a straight leading punk boy instead of the goofy wise acre. Deborah Foreman was a delight as her best friend helping the two love birds behind the scenes in spite of Tommy's protest. Stacy in his break out role before April Fool's day was a true talent lighting up the scenes and letting the script coming alive naturally.The soundtrack was amazing from ill stop the world and melt with you, Johnny are you queer and many more great hits feeling like a character itself.Almost in a unique way its like the karate kid, boy meets girl, old boyfriend wants her back, her friends hate him and you rejoice when they come together in the end.Be sure to check out Valley girl and experience an inspiring. Shakespearean adventure.

jbaxter-204-326379 I am only giving this movie five points because it contains a fair amount of footage of L.A. circa 1983. It also features some of the most awkward dialogue ever penned for the screen, especially the exchanges involving adults. I mean, Frederic Forrest must have been so annoyed with his agent once he started shooting his dreadful scenes. It also would have been nice for at least one of the Valley girls to talk like a real Valley girl--I can understand not being able to find an established young actress who could do a spot-on Valley girl accent, but if you're going to cast a bunch of nobodies with limited acting ability, why not just drive over the Valley and take your pick? That's plain old lazy. And--here comes the spoiler--the Julie Richman character's sudden change of heart about Randy makes no sense, given how hot and heavy they were, and the climactic prom scene is just too silly for words.

Jinjer Ale I watched this film after reading the plethora of positive IMDb reviews, touting it as Romeo and Juliette for the eighties and, while it does share with the bard's masterpiece the theme of forbidden teenage love, all similarities begin and end there. Filled with pointless story lines, characters on both sides of the divide who are sorely lacking in intellect, depth and purpose, and an ending that is pathetically lazy and neither intriguing nor romantic, this sorry excuse for a film brings absolutely nothing new to the table and fails miserably at even adding anything interesting, let alone insightful, to a familiar, seemingly straightforward topic. For a truly brilliant take on the complications of love among the young, rich and shallow, watch Amy Heckerling's Clueless, itself based much more faithfully on another work of classic literature, yet adapted to not only appeal to but actually shape the culture of its time. What a shameful insult to William Shakespeare it is, having his timeless work of poetic style and substance compared to this vacuous garbage.

cristag Happy 25th Birthday to Valley Girl! Great soundtrack, plausible story, wonderful performances...captures the spirit of the 80's; the slang of the mainstreams and the outcasts. A wonderful rendition of high school life and "gritty downtown" from a suburban perspective.The soundtrack contains songs by Modern English, Felony, Josie Cotton, Sparks, Payola$, Josie Cotton, The Plimsouls, The Psychedelic Furs, Men At Work, The Flirts and Bananarama.This movie truly is Romeo and Juliet (minus the double suicide) set in 1980's Los Angeles. Julie's dad, played by Frederic Forrest (Sonny Bono, anyone?) is hysterical as a hippie idealistic dad who wonders how he sprung such a materialistic offspring. Yet, he doesn't judge, ya dig??
