This film is hilarious. The ending is honestly perfect. The characters in this film feel like real high schoolers. Also as a side note, I was so shocked to see Nicholas Cage in this. 8.5/10
Not a really deep plot by any means but enjoyable and funny movie that gives you a look at highschoolers in the 80s, kinda looks like fun wouldn’t have minded growing up in those times tbh

This movie is so damn stupid, but also so damn funny. I love fast times at ridgemont high, and I will always stand by that statement. The comedy, while extremely stupid, is so funny and unhinged, and while there isn’t a real coherent story, each subplot feels so well done and funny. Sean Penn was…
Watched this because it was recommended to me and if I’m being honest, I came into this with low expectations and was surprised how decent the movie was. It had its fair share of funny moments, some of them pretty mediocre, but for an 80s high school comedy, it was great. 8.7/10
Just a movie about teens being teens. There’s no plot except for teens being stupid. There are a few funny moments but to be honest, the storyline wasn’t as good as it should’ve been. Because there was none. Just a crazy highschool. It wasn’t necessarily bad, just ok. 7.4/10

If the publicity release can be believed, he worked an entire year undercover as a student to research teenage life. On the basis of what surfaces here - one stock phrase (the kids say Go for it] a lot) and a multitude of stock characters - Crowe might better have spent the time curled up with re-runs of Ozzie and Harriet. Give this intrepid researcher 12 months at General Motors and he might just discover the wheel.
Perfectly capturing the zeitgeist of American high school life in the '80s, complete with a Rubik's cube reference, the funny and occasionally harsh Fast Times, with all due apologies to John Hughes and Mickey Rooney, may be the greatest teen movie ever made (even though Cates was the only real teen).
Sean Penn's scenes are still so stunning...His Jeff Spicoli is an unabashed kick every second he is on the screen.
