Foxes | Actors/Actresses: - Jodie Foster L.A. story Aside from the patented soft-focus look and one "creepy old uncle" closeup tracking shot of sleeping teenage girls (under the opening credits) this early effort from director Adrian Lyne actually gives us substance over style for a change. With its pop soundtrack and teen angst themes, 1979's "Foxes" could have been dismissed at the time as an estrogen-rich flipside of "Saturday Night Fever". In hindsight, "Foxes" seems ahead of its time, presaging "Less Than Zero", "Kids" and "The Virgin Suicides". Jodie Foster leads a fine cast in this episodic tale of four L.A. girl pals dealing with growing pains at the height of the Sex Drugs Teenage Angels on the Road to Ruin I know, I know it's the title to Cherie Currie's autobiography; but it fits too good. For an 80's teenage exploitation flick, this one wins. Nothing exceeds like excess, particularly in Hollywood. The location could not be more appropriate, the writing more bodacious or the spandex pants on their teen butts tighter! 'Fast Times...' and Valley Girl may have more notoriety but neither have this slam-bang cast. Super-Nova actress and director Jodie Foster, Super Self-Destructo former Runaways (other alums: Joan Jett and Lita Ford) Lead Vocalist Cherie Currie and Sally Kellerman as the old hippie chick burnout... mother. Spark -up another fatty Sally!!! Boy Howdy!!! The band 'Angel' performing at the quintesential rock concert and other great awful late 70's pop. For those of you into this motion picture genre of pop social commentary parody, run don't walk to the check-out lanes. You will not be disappointed. Buy it now 'cuz this one will probably disappear. Only the good die young! Still Relevant Coming of Age Story This film is an excellent coming of age drama that teens and young adults today will enjoy despite the fact that it was filmed in the late 70's. Jodi Foster has a mom who dates casually and lets her pretty much do what she wants to do. It's obvious her moms house is the cool house because all of her friend "hang" at her house. Each one of the girls has some serious issues that they are dealing with. These girls are going through some of the same things teens today are going through. This movies succeeds where a lot of current films like "Thirteen" fail. It shows, it shocks and there are serious consequences. The DVD doesn't have any extras and the film quality isn't much better than the VHS. What I love most about the story in the film is how the friends really bond together to try to help the one friend who needs help the most.
