chris penn be hilarious a the all time stoner brother of jeff spicoli . this movie be great because it be a lot more real and funny than fast time at ridgemont high . casting be perfect and one of my favorite soundtrack of almost all eddie van halen which go on to become song on ou812 and unlawful carnal knowledge . this movie be one of the great stoner film hero with cheech and chong . fast time be more depressing than funny . abortion and friend cheat on friend and jerk off in bathroom and bad job and and fail school . someone must hate the eighty to like ridgemont more than the wild life . the film even have great cameo like the maker of city limit michelle schocked in the liquor store or ben stein in his first role in the sunny surplus store .
