Valley Girl

30 year old teenagers dancing to 80s songs with poor singing voices. Cheesy love story between two teenagers of different worlds. Why is this even a movie? Maybe Hollywood can stop making remakes. Because they are usually not entertaining.

Put simply, this movie is just bad. None of the actors can carry a tune, all the outfits felt cheap, and the girls were not valley girls. This movie in no way needed to be a musical! The middle part was actually okay, they stopped singing and tried to develop the characters and plot; but the beginning and end were just so terrible!! I can't even describe how awful. But, three of the four original valley girls made cameos and I love them for that.

Do yourself a favour and watch the original movie. 80s teen movies were far better and these dull silly hollywood remakes only suffer more by comparison.

Made by people looking for a quick buck, this pale version of an entertaining 80's flick has some cute moments but it all falls flat without any substance. Like so many things Hollywood, the people behind this are wannabe's thinking all it takes to make a film is hard work and investment capital. The original, also with faults, had charm and a breakout performance from Nicholas Cage to distinguish it. This one has little of anything to add to the original but imitation.

As a fan of the original I went in to this with an open mind and I was really excited to see this in a musical format. Great music, fun clothes, 80s, should be a no brainer right?

Wrong! The idea itself is cute and fun and there are some cool dance scenes but the dialogue between the two leads is just terrible. There is no chemistry and the dude who plays Randy is just dull. I love Mae Whitman but she's just wasted here as Randy's BFF. I mean I'm not expecting Oscar performances but even high school musical or descendants has characters that are more interesting. It just kind of feels all over the place and doesn't know what kind of movie it wants to be. It bums me out bc this could have been really fun but it's lacking the heart that makes the orignal so great.
