Details

Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school's pecking scale. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give hopelessly klutzy new student Tai a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother was right about how misguided she was -- and falls for him.

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
tbills2 Is this movie good or what!? Alicia Silverstone is sooo cute, like hellloo, and considerably hot, so's Stacey Dash, majorly, and Elisa Donavon's brutally hot too. These girls are all sooo pretty, duuh, I totally worship them, specifically Alicia. She's one smart girl. Wow, check out young foxy Brittany! She is the ultimate hot cutie babe, yeeah. She's not as cute as the other girls yet, how old is she in this?...ah, they're giving Brittany a makeover! It sounds mental but I've never seen Clueless all the way through until now, it's totally embarrassing I know. They gave Britt her makeover! She's positively a billion times hotter than the other girls, no joke. Brittany Murphy is one of the most super duper beautiful people who's ever died young. I love her, it's insane, I totally miss her. Clueless' so dope! I was clueless how good it is, well not entirely I mean I knew I'd love it because I love smart and good spirited sweet heartfelt movies like this and assuredly chick flicks with major superhotties everywhere, howeverr Clueless totally opened the door, seriously laid the groundwork, and definitely paved the way for Legally Blonde's success over half a decade later, uhh, as if! I'm such a brown-noser. Clueless is a popular cultural splash with great style and way super fashionable! It's so faabulous and so fun and kinda deep! Alicia Silverstone is an underappreciated superstar actress. She's soooo sweet, as if! Whateverrr, I love Clueless! I'm making a W with my thumbs and index fingers for whaateverrr, and here's an L for all you looosers out there who don't love Clueless now put it on your forehead, ha just kidding I love you guys, just like this movie, and Brittany, and Alicia, and Stacey.
joemorgan-01462 What a load of drivel. I was introduced to this film by my partner, and she promised me that this was a brilliant film. I was sadly disappointed, but then my partner and I have very different tastes in what classes as a good film. This for me was not one of them.
Mahen Nowzadick So basically the most popular girl in school who could land any 10/10 guy ends up dating her stepbrother. Throughout the whole movie she refused to date any other guy on the excuse that she is too good for them but that ending, sheesh.
lasttimeisaw Transposing Jane Austen's EMMA to Beverly Hills, Amy Heckerling's 90s chick flick CLUELESS was a sleeper hit upon its release, spawned one less toothsome TV series, and has charmed its way with a cult following ever since. What quintessentially demarcates this one from the derogative genre's other huge supply of glops? It must be its attitude, which is devoid of self-importance in spite of that the whole picture is built upon a milieu predominantly reeks of snobbery and superficiality, ornamented by a pleasurable dosage of self-mockery. Our heroine is Cher (Silverstone), a 16-year-old high school girl seems to be privileged of everything (beauty, youth, wealth and sagacity: knows how to give a wide berth to her inane male peers and more than willing to save her virginity for the one she will fall in love with), who has an unusual down-to-earth streak and all she wants is to be a Good Samaritan, plays match-maker to her two teachers, and determines to help an awkward blow-in Tai (Murphy) to gain popularity, and her BFF Dionne (Dash) is also on board. An unmistakable girl-power through-line sails alongside the film's polymorphic themes, ranging from adolescent crush (on a friend of Dorothy, a very spunky move to inject a positive vibe to the often sidelined minority), "he is not that into you" misunderstanding, chirpy school rivalry (a wonder at then where bullies are excluded within the context), to realize what/who a girl really wants (a corny epiphany under the fountain sending a homage to GIGI, 1958). A hiccup will duly arise, girls will squabble, but at the end of the day, for Cher, friendship is the real deal, in company with finding her Mr. Right (of course, no high-schoolers). The recurring gag of "as if" might now sounds like a flea in the ear for all its affectation, but understandably, that also underlies its appeal, a spoiled blondie's unashamed mannerism nonetheless, the whole scenario is lubricated by a good-natured cause and propelled by a crescendo of emotional honesty, you have the irony, humor and eye-candies in one combo! Two decades on, it is somewhat bemusing that Alicia Silverstone hasn't catapulted into the A-list à la Emma Stone (nor is she led up the garden path à la Lindsay Logan either), her career would stick in a limbo ever since that ill-fated BatGirl offer. She has that "it" girl look and sweetness, and plies her shallow character with unstinting ammo of assurance and cutesy allure. The late Brittany Murphy, in her second film credit, also carries off an effervescent mien as the ugly duckling, a tad barmy, but not a shrinking violet steeped in lament. Definitely capturing the teen spirit of 90s in America's posh sphere, and thanks to a cunning maneuver of its time-honored source story, CLUELESS is high on wishful romanticism and low in adolescent toxin, harmless refreshment to a weary soul.
