FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH director Amy
Heckerling takes another crack at teenage life over ten years later
in this snappy comedy centering around Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and
her observations of high school life in Beverly Hills. Yup,
they still like to hang around malls and the like, but this film
offers as much comedic entertainment as the aforementioned
Heckerling's teen classic. Ok, so there's no plot here to really
speak of but the film is immensely enjoyable and despite it's title,
quite insightful. Terrific performances by everyone involved as
well as a firm grasp on the trendy dialogue. Silverstone is
particularly appealing in quite possibly her breakthrough role.
Entertaining and thoroughly likeable, especially for
teenagers.
