happy 25th birthday to valley girl . great soundtrack and plausible story and wonderful performance . capture the spirit of the 80 while the slang of the mainstream and the outcast . a wonderful rendition of high school life and gritty downtown from a suburban perspective . the soundtrack contain song by modern english and felony and josie cotton and spark and payola $ and josie cotton and the plimsouls and the psychedelic fur and men at work and the flirt and bananarama . this movie truly be romeo and juliet ( minus the double suicide ) set in 1980 los angeles . julie dad and play by frederic forrest ( sonny bono and anyone . ) be hysterical a a hippie idealistic dad who wonder how he spring such a materialistic offspring . yet and he doesn not judge and ya dig .
