The movie is fine and a decent example of teen sexplotation films of the era. The true star of the film is Sean Penn. In every other film Penn has been in his overacting, overemoting, and general lack of talent is crystal clear and usually wrecks the movie. However, in Fast Times Penn was able to play himself - a not very bright teenager that never matured. The performance was brilliant.
