Remade a cool movie into a boomer's memory of 80s nostalgia. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Victor O I hate to start by saying I was disappointed, but it looks like I'm not the only one. Recommendations showed that this was a Peyton List movie and while she is in the movie, she wasn't the lead. From what I hear she would have had a more substantial part, but her scenes were deleted. So, I spent 100 minutes not entirely satisfied but not completely disappointed. This is a straight-to-video remake of the 1983 hit film Valley Girl. In which a sheltered suburban teenage girl lives a nice happy life but on the cusp of adulthood finds love with a bad-boy rocker named Rusty. Learning there is life beyond suburbia but there is a modicum of difficulty in life across the tracks. It's Grease set in the 1980s with popular music blaring without warning as a musical. Peyton R. List's limited time on the screen aside, this wasn't half bad. I do not like musicals, but I do love the 1980s and the music was magnificent. The actors were okay for the most part, but nowhere near as good as the originals. I do like Jessica Rothe's acting and Chloe Bennet's. But her appearance made my heart pound, I was a fan of her acting in Agents of SHIELD, but she is beyond gorgeous in skintight leggings, spandex, and jeans. The whole idea of the present day with Alicia Silverstone reliving the glory days to her daughter felt like A Princess Bride, another 80s staple. That was the true star of the movie, the great decade of the 80s. But I could have done without the musicals and the injection of present-day sensibilities in the story. An okay movie, but it could have been better. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/23 Full Review meredith w This musical journey back to the ‘80s is a lot of fun, thanks mainly to its music and well-placed pop culture references. While it's a visual feast of fun, the story, however, doesn't stray too far from its original which stills up well in its own right. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member They turned an old classic movie into an awful musical with a plageristic ending. They should have ended it with a unique song about the main character instead of claiming "I melt with you" my Modern English by an English band was written about her... This was corny garbage, but if they would have wrote a unique song it would have come off slightly more realistic. I am not even sure who this movie was for. It was like a Disney Channel movie trying to be nostalgic, but hitting the wrong people. SO SO SO BAD. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review i already d They should have just ripped off the original entirely and called this version something else. No one would have noticed when it's as cliche as this is. And probably would have faired better. It sure could've been better done and far more interesting; any of the edge the original had is, quite unsurprisingly, gone. "Meh. It passed the time." is absolutely correct.
