Summary: Finally!
Review: Just got my copy of the DVD release...it's about time! A great movie, and so far (I'm only at the first party scene) a great transfer. This is the first time I've seen this film in widescreen, and the dobly digital 5.1 mix sounds great! I guess tomorrow I'll watch the extras!

Summary: The Best 80's Teen Film Bar None!
Review: Valley Girl is the greatest of the 1980's Teen films, and is second to none. John Hughes wishes he could have made a film this accurate, this genuine, and this sincere!
This movie is as much 80's as Easy Rider was 60's. It defined the times is what it did.
As silly as it sounds, Valley Girl is actually a very good film. It's put together extremely well, and is original, fresh, and personal all at the same time! They simply do not make teen films of this calibre anymore.
This DVD release is long overdue, but well worth the wait! There are a score of fabulous extras, a commentary track with the director, conversations between the director and Nicolas Cage today, two music videos and much much more!
The picture is high-quality with a tad bit of grain, but the sound is 5.1 surround, and is in widescreen. Valley Girl has never looked or sounded better.
If you only ever see one 80's Teen film, Valley Girl should be the one, and probably the only one you'd ever need to own.

Summary: Cage & Foreman shine on DVD and WIDESCREEN !!!
Review: For those waiting for "Valley Girl" to get the Special Edition treatment--the wait is over. Director Martha Coolidge gives unique insight into the film's production. The most interesting tidbits are the film's art department budget and how she chose the song "I Melt With You" for a key sequence. Missing from this edition, however, is Deborah Foreman. Virtually everyone else (Nicolas Cage included) contributes interviews and on-screen commentaries. Deborah, we love your work, like totally, fer sure. Your smile is so cute. Why were you a no show?

Summary: Totally Awesome DVD!!!!!
Review: This has always been one of my favorite 80's movies of all time and now to have all this background information on the extra features is just amazing, interviews with Nicholas Cage, Elizabeth Daily, Cameron Dye, Lee Purcell, Colleen Camp, Frederic Forest, Michael Bowen, Heidi Holicker, Josie Cotton, Peter Case, Richard Blade, Modern English and a great very detailed commentary by directer Martha Cooldge. The one and only thing missing in this great reunion is Deborah Foreman, Where's she at?

Summary: I LOVE THIS MOVIE, BUT THE DVD SHOULD GET 1 STAR
Review: Valley Girl is a classic, and it's nice to see it in widescreen. The print for the most part looks great. But the production value of the extras and packaging was apparently an afterthought. It took 20 years to make it on DVD and it looks like it was slapped together in a week. Way to go MGM! The cover, for starters should be sexy and fun and feature Deborah Foreman and Cage, not that unknown woman they used for the original poster. A film still maybe of a great scene? Anyway, it looks like a bootleg. The extras include a painfully titled Valley Girl --Twenty Totally Tubular Years Later, and features interviews with the most of the cast, including, surprisingly, Nic Cage. Except that Deborah Foreman is nowhere in the interviews! No, really. (They even interviewed Stacy.) Huh? Hardcore fans are sure to be disappointed in the final product but seek solace in being able to find their favorite scene with ease. But how to choose just one? The best we can hope for is that Valley Girl will find a new legion of young fans. As for MGM, it's really hopeless guys. So painfully out of touch, and this DVD is further proof.

Summary: VALLEY GIRL
Review: THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT. I GREW UP IN THE 80S' GENERATION AND THIS MOVIE REALLY SHOWS WHAT WE WERE ALL LIKE THE STYLES WE WORE RIGHT DOWN WITH THE BIG HAIR PEOPLE SHOULD BRING BACK THE STYLE LIKE THE 1970S' HAVE BEEN BROUGHT BACK. I THOUGHT NICHOLAS CAGE WAS HOT IN THAT MOVIE STILL IS AND THE GIRL HE GETS I TOTALLY IDOLIZED WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO THE NEW KIDS OF THIS GENERATION

Summary: Yeah, baby!
Review: "Is this movie in 3-D?" asks Valley Boy doofus to movie ticket taker wearing 3-D glasses. "No, but your face is!" answers Nic the Cage posing as tickey takey. Do I need to explain any more to those of you out there who saw this when it came out? From then on Nicolas Cage's career went off-course and he now does dreck like Capt. Corelli's What-the-Hell-Was-That. Nothing tops Valley Girl--beyond classic with dialog like the above.

Summary: Hilight of 80's flicks!
Review: Like, Valley Girl is, like, totally, a cool movie! It's all about this guy who falls in love with this girl, who is super popular @ Valley High. He is kind of, uh, not her type, but they manage to work it out in the end. The plot is simple, but this is another one of those movies that you just fall in love with for absolutly NO reason!! :D

Summary: Like, It's a Total Smile Flick
Review: Simply one of the best Romeo & Juliet re-tellings in film history. More than a teen flick, this is one totally awesome, and very funny movie. A time capsule of the early 80's in all its pretentious innocence.

Summary: This is one super movie that defines the 80's
Review: I was 16 when this movie came out. I so wanted to move to California and be a "valley girl". The sound-track is awesome and the clothes awful (yes, we did dress like that. We thought we were pretty cool). I probably watch the video once every three/four months just to be a kid again and remember the 'good old days'. I'm 35 now, and boy do I miss the 80's:)
