Overview

Based on the real-life adventures chronicled by Cameron Crowe, Fast Times follows a group of high school students growing up in Southern California. Stacy Hamilton and Mark Ratner are looking for a love interest, and are helped along by their older classmates, Linda Barrett and Mike Damone, respectively. At the center of the film is Jeff Spicoli, a perpetually stoned surfer who faces-off with the resolute Mr. Hand—a man convinced that everyone is on dope.

Viewing Notes

Introduced the kids to FAST TIMES, which in retrospect was probably a little awkward for them but whatever!

This movie is like a time capsule from the early eighties and still hilarious to me.
