Valley Girl 1983

With the recent release of the jukebox musical remake of the 1983 teen film “Valley Girl” arriving for home viewing, I did a double feature of both versions, as I had never seen the original.

As an avid fan of teen films, I’m surprised I let “Valley Girl” go unseen for so long. It is a fine example of the genre released at a time when teen films were scraping the bottom of the barrel.
