For starters, Nochols Cage proves that he can not only act but carry a film. Valley Girl is still known to many as the film that made Nicholas Cage an actor. Although it helps being related to Francis Ford Coppola, it also helps if you can act. Cage proves himself in this blast from the past movie about growing up in the Valley during the awesome 80's. A good soundtrack if this is your kind of thing, the wardrobe and the attitude is true 80's. At moments, you want to laugh at some of the clothes that the "teens" are dressed in. Although Cage is great as a high school kid from Hollywood, Deborah Foreman looks more like a woman in her late 20's than someone in high school. Looking back, the Valley Girls have all moved to Malibu or the Glendale area, the Valley today is what downtown Hollywood was back in 1983. Still, a fun movie to watch and to recall how things use to be before the 1990's.
