Valley Girl (1983)

Laura Gardner Longo

“It’s 1983 and Nicolas Cage has come from Hollywood (“over the hill”) to save you from your maudlin San Fernando existence. As a born and bred valley girl, this one’s a cultural artifact as well as a campy Lynchian pre-Clueless. “She’s cool. He’s hot. She’s from the valley. He’s not.””

“Romantic. Stupid. A perfect 80s time capsule. Nice Cage is genuinely hot. Requires less than 0 brain cells to enjoy. You will love it. Stream the entire absurd, feel-good soundtrack on spotify at your next sleepover”
