Critics consensus

“While Fast Times at Ridgemont High features Sean Penn's legendary performance, the film endures because it accurately captured the small details of school, work, and teenage life.”

P

Paul Wagman

RTSt. Louis Post-DispatchAug 15, 2022

The movie ends up with no clear identity; it doesn't work as anything.

R

Richard Roeper

RTChicago Sun-TimesJul 30, 2022

The best of the racy teen comedies perfectly preserves the fashions and attitudes of the ’80s.

E

Ernest Leogrande

RTNew York Daily NewsAug 12, 2015

What it doesn't have is a clear point of view, something that would make it of more interest than leafing through a high school yearbook.

B

RTInSession FilmMar 6, 2023

Order a pizza and learn about Cuba in an all-time teen comedy classic by Amy Heckerling and scripted by Cameron Crowe.
