'Troop Beverly Hills' Cast Come Together For Movie's 30th Anniversary -- What a Thrill

Apr 02, 2019

Talk about making 40-somethings feel ancient!

The iconic film Troop Beverly Hills celebrated its 30th-anniversary last week, and Entertainment Tonight marked the occasion by gathering several cast members to reminisce about their experiences while making the movie three decades ago.

The film’s deserved legendary status has everything to do with how inspirational it proved to be. When an eclectic group of girls joins forces to accomplish a shared goal, the example they set is influential to the masses, as was the case with Troop Beverly Hills.

Despite the fact that the plot was centered on wealthy girls who were afforded a multitude of privileges most kids are not, a majority of young people could identify with at least one character.

When the acclaimed comedy landed in theaters on March 24, 1989, it resonated with multiple generations.

Shelley Long starred as an affluent mother who commandeered her daughter’s Girl Scout Troop. Jenny Lewis played Long’s daughter, and other young stars included Carla Gugino, Kellie Martin and Tori Spelling.

All characters brought something relatable to the table with spirited personas and the harboring of hidden hardships.

When the esteemed cast collected to mark the film’s anniversary, they enjoyed reliving their time together and even broke out into song, proving their powerful friendship dynamic stood the test of time.

Movies have a way of bringing people together. Consider the number of people in your inner circle who likely have fond memories of this film, and give them a happy reminder of this 80s pop culture staple.
