Erickson Director: Amy Heckerling Stars: Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Robert Romanus, Brian Backer, Phoebe Cates Year of Movie’s Release: 1982 A basic summary of the plot: Fast Times at Ridgemont High is based on Cameron Crowe's book, centers around a group of high school kids, most of which work at the mall. Judge Reinhold takes pride in his burger-flipping job, a very young-looking Jennifer Jason Leigh and Phoebe Cates work at a dine-in pizza parlor, and dorky Brian Backer takes movie tickets while his slimeball friend Robert Romanus scalps concert tickets. The unemployed characters are also seen around the mall, with Sean Penn's pothead character Jeff Spicoli attempting to get service sans shirt in Reinhold's burger joint and beefy football player Forrest Whitaker shoving quarter after quarter into Space Invaders and Pac-Man. There are plenty of in-school scenes featuring two teachers on opposite sides of the spectrum. Vincent Schiavelli is the nervous, outgoing type who wants all the kids to like him and Ray Walston is the old man who runs his class like a military outfit.
