Customer Reviews of Valley Girl

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.

Valley Girl- romantic comedy on dvd with special features
This meaningful romantic comedy is finally back on dvd with special features this time around. This modern day Romeo & Juliet type of love story with a happier outcome is set to great music.It's an intelligent emotional romantic drama with comedy thrown in throughout it.Some of the funny lines & actions ad-libbed.Many unknowns at the time were cast with the most well known being Nicolas Cage who is showcased in the extra features.It is great to see Nicolas Cage before with a full head of his own real hair at 18 with his own real teeth before he had them capped. Unfortunately, the valley girl of the movie: actress Deborah Foreman is very ABSENT from the Extra Features to great disappointment as the rest of the main cast is all there. All the extra features leave out the valley girl of the movie. There is NO Deborah Foreman in any of the extra features on this dvd after watching all the extras in intense detail:an Interview with director Martha Coolidge and Nicolas Cage just mention her,the pop-up 1980's trivias simply state she was a Maybelline Makeup Model,the director commentary track says more of the making of-filming of the movie rather than the small personal details about the cast's behavior or other interesting tidbits we would never know unless the director told us & she didn'.Deborah Foreman was absent from all the featurettes and even the front cover of the dvd. Anyone know why the lead actress was left out of all the extra features of this 20th anniversay special edition ? The charmingly pretty actress Deborah Foreman co-starred with Emilio Estevez & Martin Sheen in "In the Custody of Strangers",co-starred with Val Kilmer in "Real Genius",co-starred with John Travolta,Kelly Preston & Ayre Gross in 1989's "The Experts" & Ted Raimi in 1990's "Lunatics: a Love Story" so where is she now ? Recent pictures online show her to look good at 38 in 2003. Nicolas Cage ( Face/Off,The Family Man ) and Deborah Foreman ( My Chaffeur, Real Genius,The Experts ) are the teens in love. One is from the valley and one is from Hollywood.Frederic Forrest ( "Whatever" movie ),Colleen Camp ( "Sliver" ) as Foreman's parents. Michael Bowen ( Jackie Brown,Echo Park )as the valley girl's ex-boyfriend.An assortment of actresses( Michelle Meyrink also of "Real Genuis" is one, Elizabeth Daily of "No Small Affair" is another )as her friends who exert peer pressure on her to be with the boyfriend who is socially correct ( a valley dude ) yet makes her unhappy.Lee Purcell ( Eddie Macon's Run ) as the young stepmom who tries to entice her stepdaughter's to-be-boyfriend as a spin on "The Graduate" still looks the same after 20 years in the reunion interview. A wonderful movie loaded with extras. The romance is beautiful. The comedy is funny. The drama is heart-breaking. The acting is excellent. The extras are great except for the lack of Deborah Foreman being involved or any update on her now-a-days. The widescreen clear picture shows things you would never notice before. Just don't be disappointed if you are a Deborah Foreman fan as there is no extra footage of her. The movie is in it's second release on dvd. Perhaps next time we will get the 2nd takes ( outtakes ) & the interview with the main star other than Nicholas Cage who is readily available in this special edition. If you want to re-live or get to know the 1980's romantic comedy- this is your meaningful movie. This started the California Surfer talk "Radical",etc. along with sporting great songs like "That's the oldest story in the world" & "A Million Miles away" by The Plimsouls as one of it's love themes- the other being "I Melt with you" by Modern English. The way the teenagers talk in 1982 when this movie was filmed is certainly modern english that is a million miles away from nowadays way of talking. Nicolas Cage & Deborah Foreman have LOTS of GREAT KISSING SCENES which look even better on dvd.This is a wonderfully dramatic romance with just enough comedy set in the trendy early 1980's California that Hollywood can be proud of.This may remind you of your first love. It may just show you what being in love can be. Valley Girl is a movie of quality that is best seen ready to laugh and cry. Relax & Enjoy as this movie is time well spent.

Grotty to the Max
I'm writing a novel about young people and heard "Valley Girl" was the classic of its type. Made in 1983 with Nick Gage and Deb Foreman, I had hopes that the silly "Valley Talk" would entertain. I was wrong. This is a trite soft-porn movie. If your kid watches this movie, they'll be scarred for life. I recommend this one for desperate men that dig Internet teen-porn. Cage is sort-of-Elvis like as a bad-boy punk. He meets non-grody to the max Deb Foreman and a good girl-bad boy crush begins. The beach scene has bikinis and young bods, but then the camera shows teenager Cage in swim trunks. My gal and I started laughing. Cage has a V-shaped bush of hair on his upper chest that looks like it was from the Planet of the Apes wardrobe room. Notice that all actors shave their chest these days, but I guess body hair was in in 83. Thank goodness for director John Hughes. Later in the 80's, he showed Hollywood how to give real character and motivation to young people. Rent "Pretty in Pink" and pass on "Valley Girls."
