| Plot: | Julie Richman is a sweet-natured, if shallow, Valley Girl. After breaking up with her jerk boyfriend Tommy, she is at her friend Suzi's party ("the social event of the season") when two boys from Hollywood crash the scene. One of them, the sensitive and adventurous Randy, is immediately smitten with Julie, and she with him. Julie's friends, however, are not smitten with Randy purely because he is from "Holly-weird" and want Julie to dump Randy and get back together with Tommy. Julie must decide which is more important: her heart and the boy she loves, or the approval of her friends. A side story involves Suzi and her stepmom vying for the attention of Skip the grocery delivery boy. |

Goofs
|
Continuity: The clothes on the floor when Skip and Suzie are caught in bed are not the same ones Skip wore upon entering the house. Crew: During the party scene, Suzy's mark is visible by her feet while she's dancing. Continuity: Tommy's tuxedo trousers change from pink to black and back again at the prom. Continuity: Limousine changes from a mid-'80s K car limo to a Lincoln Town Car Limo Continuity: When the driver's ed teacher jumps out of the car, you can hear the door slam shut after him. When Julie parks the car, the front passenger side door is open. The young guy in the driver's ed lot was opening doors on Julie's side of the car. And it doesn't seem likely that the girls in the backseat would bother opening any doors that they didn't exit from. Fact errors: When the girls are all dancing to "Girls Like Me", the album spinning on the turntable clearly has an "A&M" label on it, but the album that contained that song at the time was actually released on Slash Records. Revealing mistakes: The opening scene supposedly takes place at the Sherman Oaks Galleria, but the sign on the door that Julie passes through after breaking up with Tommy says that it's the Del Amo Fashion Center. Continuity: When the teacher is giving the speech for Prom Queen, she takes her glasses off, but when Randy and Tommy are fighting you can see her in the background and her glasses are on again. Later in the scene it happens again. Continuity: When the girls are at Dupar's Stacey's books are already on the table when Julie is speaking and mentioning its really not fair. And the camera pans over to Stacey and she has her books in her arms and says life's not fair, and she puts her books on the table. Continuity: During the party scene, Randy and Fred are talking when Randy and Julie see each other from across the room. A valley dude with blonde hair and an orange shirt walks behind Randy and Fred (from right to left on the screen). Seconds later, the same valley dude walks behind them again going the same direction. Continuity: Throughout the party scene, there are instances of kids being in more than one place at a time depending on the camera view. For example, a valley dude with brown hair and a gray sweatervest is seen dancing but when the camera view changes, he is standing still in a different part of the room. |

Randy: That techno-rock you guys listen to is gutless. Julie Richman: Do you think she really does all the stuff she says? Stacey: I mean, who could make up 'That stuff tastes like Clorox.'? Fred Bailey: So, you wanna dance? Girl: In another life! Fred Bailey: Yeah, I didn't either. I was just taking a poll. Randy: Where do you work? Julie Richman: At my parents' store. Randy: What do they sell? Julie Richman: Health foods. Randy: That's cool. Julie Richman: Like, it's not cool at all! Like, it's all this stuff that tastes like nothing and it's supposed to be so good for you. Why couldn't they, like, open a Pizza Hut or something? Julie Richman: I'll start my diet tomorrow. Stacey: You better watch out, because Randy might like the Hollywood lean look. Suzi Brent: Yeah, but blimps don't get to go out with Tommy. Julie Richman: Who? Stacey: Tommy. Julie Richman: Who? Loryn, Stacey, and Suzi: [in unison] TOMMY! Julie Richman: Fuck him! [behind the stage curtain at the Valley High junior prom] Fred Bailey: Ahh! Stacey! Hey, man, check out Stacey! Randy: I don't wanna see Stacey. [peeks from behind the curtain in time to see Tommy kiss Julie on the dance floor] Ugh! That's it! Man, I've had it with you, Bailey! Fred Bailey: What? I didn't think her haircut was that bad. Randy: What do you mean, her haircut? I just want to know what the rest of this grand plan of yours is. Fred Bailey: No, man, this is it! Simplicity at its finest. Randy: Simplicity at its finest. Well, at least you got us here. So let's... Randy and Fred (in unison): ...crush that fly! Randy: [to Julie after she dumps him] Well fuck you, for sure, like totally! Tommy: It appears as though you forgot our French fries and a coke, fishhead. Randy: Oh, well, Peter Piper picked a pepper, I guess I did! Julie Richman: [to her friends] Man, he's like tripendicular, ya know? Julie Richman: Like they're staring right at us. Stacey: Gross! Let's move. Fred Bailey: Do you believe a girl should pet on the first date? Girl: Who are you... Bozo the Clown? Steve Richman: [about Julie] Sarah, do you know how much she looks like you? Sarah Richman: Do I still look that way? Steve Richman: Better! Randy: [shouting over the noise just as the music ends] So, when can I see you again? Julie Richman: [embarassed] Gee, Randy... why don't you wait until the end of the evening to say these things? Randy: It's how I feel. Julie Richman: I'm here with you now. Fred Bailey: [warily surveying party food] What you got running here, a bait shop? Suzi Brent: Like, it's sushi, don't you know? [points at each platter as she identifies them] Like, this here is tuna, that's flying fish egg, and that's sea urchin. Randy: This is pistachio paste, isn't it? [picks up a smear of wasabi with a chopstick and eats it; he then watches party guests enjoying the sushi] Dig in, Fred. Fred Bailey: [shudders] I think I'll go get something to drink. Fred Bailey: [introducing himself to Julie and Stacey] Hi, I'm Fred. I like tacos and '71 Cabernet. My favorite color is magenta. Tommy: [about his recent break-up with Julie] Who else is there? No other Val dude can touch me. She must really be freaking out. Julie Richman: Yeah, but Tommy can be such a dork, ya know? Like he's got the bod, but his brains are bad news. Suzi Brent: But he is bitchin'. You really are so lucky, Julie. Julie Richman: I know, but we've been going together so long now. Like I'm beginning to think I'm a piece of furniture or something... like an old chair! Loryn: Oh, bad news! Julie Richman: [glancing at Brad] I definitely need something new. Julie Richman: [arguing about staying out all night] Why can't you just punish me like Stacey's parents? Sarah Richman: Bad karma, dear! Stacey: Fred? Fred Bailey: Stacey? Stacey: God you're so weird go away! Fred Bailey: My little pickle. My darling. Stacey: Like this is so embarrassing. Fred Bailey: Well I think you're cute Stacey: My God. Tommy: [while getting his ticket torn by Randy, who is working as an usher and wearing 3D glasses] Bitchin'! Is this in 3D? Randy: No, but you're face is. Randy: No one is gonna tell me who I can score with! Now I want this chick, she wants me, so fuck it, we're goin' back. |
