Um grupo de estudantes do ensino médio na California aproveita a vida com muita música e sexo. Os jovens Stacy Hamilton e Mark Ratner estão procurando por um romance e contam com a ajuda de seus colegas mais velhos Linda Barrett e Mike Damone. Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) é um surfista que enfrenta o Sr. Hand, que está convencido que todo mundo está drogado.
Seen this one a few times over the years and still as fun as ever with a wonderful ensemble cast, a few of which have had a sustained career (others, like Phoebe Cates, Robert Romanus and Brian Backer, not so much). Has a good amount of heart mixed in with the comedy. Not sure where I place this amongst other coming-of-age flicks like The Breakfast Club or Dazed and Confused) but still really well made. **4.0/5**
