Amy Heckerling's adaptation of
Cameron Crowe's
Fast Times at Ridgemont High is often considered one of the finest films of a disreputable genre (the
teen sex comedy), and kick-started the careers of many future stars. The center of this
ensemble film is
Jennifer Jason Leigh as
Stacy Hamilton. She is a young, innocent high-school student who, as the film opens, is asking for advice from her friend, the sexually outspoken
Linda Barrett (
Phoebe Cates).
Stacy takes a liking to nebbish
Mark Ratner (
Brian Backer), but he is too afraid to make a move even after
Stacy all but throws herself at him. She eventually hooks up with
Mark's more confident best friend,
Mike Damone (
Robert Romanus). When not concerning itself with these four characters, the film spends time with stoned surfer dude
Jeff Spicoli (
Sean Penn) and his ongoing feud with history teacher
Mr. Hand (
Ray Walston). The film includes brief appearances by such future stars as
Nicolas Cage,
Eric Stoltz, and
Forest Whitaker.
