A satiric
romantic comedy,
Martha Coolidge's
Valley Girl is a testimony to the short-lived Southern California '80s craze.
Julie (
Deborah Foreman) is a good-natured teenager following a swarm of pastel pink valley girls, who utter "gag me" at every opportunity. To her friends' dismay ,
Julie breaks up with her egotistical boyfriend,
Tommy (
Michael Bowen), while shopping at the mall. All the valley kids go to a party that night, and
Tommy immediately tries to bed one of
Julie's friends.
Randy (
Nicolas Cage), a bad boy from Hollywood, shows up and crashes the party. Open-minded
Julie flirts with him before he is literally thrown out, presumably just for looking different. Smitten with
Julie,
Randy sneaks back into the party to talk to her again.
Julie drags a whimpering valley friend with her to spend the night cruising with
Randy in Hollywood. After an extended courtship,
Randy is in love with
Julie, and she must choose between him and
Tommy, who wants her back. Her friends refuse to accept
Randy, who makes many exaggerated attempts to win back her love. Finally, after she has a heartfelt talk with her dad (
Frederic Forrest), love triumphs at the prom.
