Valley girl is Nicolas Cage's first leading role as well as the first role he is credited as Nicolas Cage as opposed to Nicolas Coppola. Very loosely based on Romeo and Juliet, Julie and Randy are lovers from diametrically opposed social circles and the resulting plot is mostly predictable. My favorite Nicolas Cage line from the movie takes place at the point where Randy realizes Julie is dumping him because her friends think he's too weird for her. As he leaves her house he yells back to her "Fuck off for sure! Like Totally!". With its weak plots, poor acting and lack of any real talent involved I had a hard time paying attention to Valley Girl... I found myself looking for the snooze button on this movie... like totally... gag me with a spoon...
The only other actor of note in the movie was
Elizabeth Daily, who had a short-lived music career in the 80s and is probably most well known as the voice of Tommy Pickles from Rugrats. She has a successful career as a voice actress and has over 100 credits to her name.
And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, apparently there's a
remake in the works and it's a musical... which reminded me of this... which I found on Reddit earlier this week:
