Young, teenage angst. When valley girl Julie (Deborah Foreman) meets Randy ( a VERY young Nic Cage) from hollywood, they hit it off. But, of course, her friends don't approve. Of anything about him; his clothes, his hair, his friends. Can Randy convince Julie to follow her heart and not her friends? Runs like a John Hughes film, although his Sixteen Candles actually came out a year AFTER this, so maybe he got the idea from Valley Girl. Directed by Martha Coolidge. The best part of this film is the music featured - The Plimsouls, Josie Cotton, Bonnie Hayes, Sparks. And the first two we actually watch perform as part of the plot. This one is rated R, while Sixteen is PG...much more toned down. Some fun gags... Julie's overly permissive hippie parents. The driver's ed class. Cruising the hollywood strip. It's an oldie but a goodie.
