this be the essence of the early eighty . the mall and the credit card machine and the food and the punk hair color and the soundtrack . i be in love with this movie . this sweet and intelligent romeo and juliet teen flick be instantly addictive . martha coolidge be one of my favorite director . she really employ her actor and like john hughes and steven soderberg and so check out joy of sex and real genius . the soundtrack for valley girl be great . if you can find a copy of the film and buy it . it out of print and very hard to come by .
