Valley Girl (1983)
directed by Martha Coolidge
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix
Valley Girl was, famously for me, the dearly beloved favorite ofAlamo Heights High School alumnus Patricia "Patootie" Tate, who mocked me a lot in a good-hearted way and lashed out at everyone around her with such consistent, deliberate "offbeat" hilarity that she apparently had no choice after college but to go straight to work as a bank teller, the most boring job in the world.
As far as Valley Girl is concerned, Patricia almost certainly had a thing for Julie Richman's friends, for the clothes they buy and the time they spend at diners eating fries and burgers. Probably Patricia was in love with Randy, or, knowing P, Randy's friend Fred's blue hair. Valley Girl is the smart sort of teenage movie you fall in love with and swear by until, I guess, you have kids of your own to pass it on to. It isn't great but I'm not a teenager.
