Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Valley Girl (1983)

Julie lives in the -- apparently preppy/safe -- Valley while Randy's from rough and punky Hollywood. But they're drawn to each other despite the fact that none of Julie's friends get it. It's Romeo & Juliet with super low stakes and a super thin plot. The only laughs I got were from Julie's aging hippy parents.

Also, what the heck is going on with this poster? It's like it was designed by someone who wasn't allowed to see the actual film (or the actual actress) so just guessed it might be something like Grease.
