Fast Times at Ridgemont High

CriticsCritics: 70
AudienceAudience: 7.2

A group of Southern California high school students navigate romance, friendships, school pressures, part-time jobs, and teenage distractions during a memorable stretch of their lives. Their separate experiences unfold through awkward, funny, and occasionally serious moments that capture the uncertainty of growing up.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a funny, candid, nostalgic teen ensemble with music and memorable characters; Not for you if you need a tightly plotted story or deeper character development.
