Entertainment Reviews:
...VALLEY GIRL is very good simply because director Martha Coolidge obviously cares about her two lead characters and is privileged to have a couple of fine performers...
Variety
Rating: 3.5/5 --
The core of the film is universal, the struggle of fitting in with your friends and finding that first spark of love.

TV Guide
Rating: 72/100 --
While it's easy to get caught up in the nostalgia of Valley Girl, this datedness also puts some limits on how you can watch the film.
Apollo Guide
Rating: 2/5 --
With characters as dimensionless as these, the film needs either greater irony or greater sympathy than it demonstrates.
New York Times
Rating: 3/4 --
This movie is a little treasure, a funny, sexy, appealing story of a Valley Girl's heartbreaking decision: Should she stick with her boring jock boyfriend, or take a chance on a punk from Hollywood?

Product Description:
It's a "totally tubular" scene as a "grody-to-the-max" punk from the wrong side of the Hollywood Hills, Randy (Nicolas Cage), falls for Julie (Deborah Foreman), a mall-dwelling Valley Girl, in this time capsule of 1980s teen vernacular. Julie and Randy become passionately involved; yet, despite her feelings for Randy, Julie succumbs to the peer pressure of her mall-obsessed friends, and gets back together with her Valley dude boyfriend, Tommy (Michael Bowen), who whisks Julie off to the Senior prom. Randy doesn't give up so easily, however, and chases Julie to the prom, with the help of his faithful friend, Fred (Cameron Dye), in an attempt to wrest her back. The sound track features the music of Men at Work, the Clash, and Josie Cotton in this 1980s teen comedy--an era, and topic, that director Coolidge was fond of chronicling, like her contemporary, John Hughes.
