fast times

Oh the joy of cuddling with your mother on the couch and popping in a little blast from the past. If you have not had the chance I do recommend it. It makes for awesome therapy. Now although this movie made my mom feel a little old, we had fun comparing the generations. This movie is about a group of teens in high school looking for love, getting in trouble and yes I do dare to say it, smoke pot. The movie starts out with Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason Leigh) a young innocent girl asking her older, sexually active friend, Linda Barrett (Phoebe Cates.) advice on guys and how to make a move on her new crush Mark Ratner (Brian Backer), but making a move on him doesn’t come so easily. She eventually throws herself at him making it clear what she wanted. Sooner or later she hooks up … with mark? (gasp!!!!) no with marks best friend who is more assured, Mike Damone (Robert Romanus). Meanwhile i know ya’ll are all curious about the pot smoking that goes on in this film so ill fill you in on the pot head character, Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn)spicoli who we all love is a stoned surfer dude who goes through life like it’s a breeze or puff? Now my favorite part of this movie would be the continuing quarrel with the history teacher at ridgemont high,Mr. Hand (Ray Walston). If enjoy doing those little things to get your teacher put this movie in and take notes from spicoli. Its a classic movie and worth the watch i promise. :)
