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.

Reviews

classicsoncall As I go further back in time regarding IMDb's Top 250 lists, I find that I'm repeating myself in saying that I'm not part of the target audience for a picture like this, and that the early days of IMDb had to be heavily influenced by hordes of teenage viewers rating movies like "Clueless" so highly. Time has taken it's toll a bit by now, and for a pretty good reason; the movie just isn't that good, even for a teen comedy. It has it's moments of course, and Alicia Silverstone's character isn't as clueless as the title of the movie would suggest, but the picture offers a lot of fluff stringing together a variety of situations for Cher (Silverstone) and her cliquey friends. The one good takeaway is the way Cher befriended newcomer Tai (Brittany Murphy) into her circle and helped her become popular, in her own right. But throughout the cast, I couldn't come up with a single role model I'd point to as being someone I'd want a teenager of today to emulate. For what it's worth, my borrowed DVD copy offered up the 'Whatever' edition of the movie, which may or may not mean anything, as I'm not bothered enough to try and find out. Really, as if.

david-thor No spoilers, just my hope that if you, like me, have waited over two decades to watch this story, that you'll enjoy it as much as I did. Other than knowing the stars were a lot younger, the tale it tells - and how it tells it - is just as fresh today as it must have been then. A great reason to escape to a happy place for a too-short while.

Matt Greene Ready for a shock? Pinnacle teen-comedy Clueless is over 20 years old. Before Silverstone was a retired-actress-turned-naturist; before Dash was just another Fox News pundit; and when Rudd was young, funny and good-looking...as opposed to now, when he's middle-aged, funny and good-looking. They were part of a cultural phenom that was so thoroughly 90s we wondered if its greatness could hold over time. Well, either my nostalgia is strengthening, or the film is actually getting better with age. Clueless is as funny as ever, lovingly laughing at its characters with a timeless sense of teenage naivete. The story of posh high-schooler Cher (a never-better Silverstone) and her gang of hilariously un-self-aware cohorts is a segmented film. Befriending and making-over a lower-class classmate. Falling for the James-Dean-esque new kid. Playing matchmaker to some lonely teachers. Learning how to drive. Dealing with your mopey, know-it-all college stepbrother. It's a collage of teenage moments; nonetheless, there's a beautiful cohesion throughout. The colorful dialogue of obnoxious colloquialisms and the beyond-perfect casting ground the film at every boa'd, saggy pants'd turn. Sure, Clueless is a "chick flick", but to write it off because of that would be to ignore how smart and subtly subversive the movie is. Based on the Jane Austen book Emma, the story parallels are not only fun and unexpectedly exact, they give the plight of these decidedly unsympathetic characters a rare gravitas. Neither praising adolescents or standing at a distance to laugh at them, it instead simply accepts them, warts and designer clothes and giant cellphones and all. That uncynical love makes this colorful and lively gut-busting comedy every bit as successful as it was in 1995.

rubydragonfly88 I don't understand why this movie is such a big deal. I was only 7 when it came out, but I've tried to watch it several times and I just can't. It's so boring I've never made it through the whole thing. The plot is pointless and the scene where Cher gets mugged is completely unrealistic; or maybe that's the point? It has a low-budget feel to me which may be due to it's age, or bad acting. It almost seems like the whole thing was supposed to be a cheap parody of something else.
