Fast Times at Ridgemont High is based on Cameron Crowes cult novel by the same name and he wrote the screenplay to the film. Cameron Crowe has writen and directed some of the best romantic comedies of the last several centuries. He was the man behind Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous his two real masterpieces. He was also behind decent films such as Elizabethtown and Vanilla Sky. His screenplays are some of the best ever writen and although Fast Times at Ridgemont High is not his best it is really good.
The performances in Fast Times at Ridgemont High are great. Jennifer Jason Leigh is amazing as the fifteen year old girl who is suddenly interested in sex. Sean Penn though is the easy standout as the fifteen year old kid who has been stoned since third grade. Penn is just completely hilarious as the stoner who I would guess inspired Napolien Dynomite.
So so funny. |
