Valley Girl (1983) Valley Girl

Valley Girl ★★½ Bad Boyz 1983 (R) Slight but surprisingly likeable teen romantic-comedy inspired by Frank Zappa novelty tune. Title stereotype falls for a leather-jacketed rebel. Really. It may look like a music video, but the story is straight from "Romeo and Juliet" via Southern California. Helped launch Cage's career. Music by Men at Work, Culture Club, and others. 95m/C VHS. Nicolas Cage, Deborah Foreman, Colleen Camp, Frederic Forrest, Lee Purcell, Elizabeth (E.G. Dailey) Daily, Michael Bowen, Cameron Dye, Heidi Holicker, Michelle Meyrink; Director: Martha Coolidge; Writer: Wayne Crawford, Andrew Lane; Writer: Frederick Elmes; Cameo: Marc Levinthal, Scott Wilk.
