Customer Reviews of Clueless

Loosely based on Jane Austen's "Emma" (LOOSELY), "Clueless" revolves around a ditzy rich girl name Cher, whose life consists mostly of cell phones, trips to the mall, a killer wardrobe, and tons of guys drooling over her. Her best friend is Dionne, who is just as superficial as Cher. One day, a new girl, Ty, comes to school and inspires a project for Cher. Project: Makeover! What begins as a selfish way to make Cher think she's doing something to help mankind, turns into a really sweet, funny film.

Alicia Silverstone is wonderful in this movie, and sadly has not found any good roles since. A shame, since she is genuinly a great actress. This is also where Brittany Murphy got her big start, as the girl in desperate need of a makeover. And who didn't have a crush on Paul Rudd, who played her "annoying" older ex-stepbrother?

If you haven't seen this film yet, then, well, I'm wondering why. It was at one point my favorite movie, and it's still high up on my list. It's charming, sweet, funny, and smart. If only other teen movies could take notes from this one. Then we wouldn't have to sit through these ridiculous ones they keep putting out all the time ("American Pie" springs to mind...).

Totally Clueless
In Amy Heckerling's adaption of Emma, written by Jane Austen, we get a firsthand look at the lives of a group of affluent youths living in southern California in the 90's. The film, Clueless, is centralized around Cher, who in all reality is totally clueless about the world around her. She is so wrapped up in material things and appearances that she fails to see what is going on right under her nose. The movie begins with Cher showing the audience around her so called "stomping grounds" while introducing us to her other affluent friends. In the first scene we get to meet Dionne (played by Stacey Dash) who is Cher's best friend. The relationship between the two best friends was extremely believable because everyone has a friend to talk to when you are happy, sad, or upset. In the next few scenes we meet the rest of the crew that the movie virtually revolves around which includes Murray (Dionne's fun loving boyfriend), Josh (Cher's ex-step brother), Elton (one of the most popular guys in school), Amber (Cruella Deville like) and are later introduced to Tai(new kid from the east coast), and Christian(the mysterious new kid). If you like the movie Emma, or even thought it was a little dry, you will really like Clueless. It is the same matchmaking story with a 90's twist. Instead of Gwyenth Paltrow dressed in clothes adapted from the 1800's you get to watch the same basic story with Alicia Silverstone set in the here and now. No stuffy old language and English accents to sift through. In CluelessCher goes through the same situations as the average teenager, for the most part, and that is what makes it really relatable. She ends up getting bad grades on her report card and her, along with best friend sidekick Dionne, hatch a plan to raise not only their grades, but the grades of the entire student body. After her success (and after being told by Josh she is selfish) Cher decides that she needs to find a new project... help Tai become a total betty. The rest of the movie takes the audience through the ins and outs of high school and will have the whole audience remembering their high school days in no time. Overall I thought the movie was really well done. Even though some say that Cher came off as being ditzy, I thought that she was rather smart and often clever. This can be seen in the scene where Josh is giving Cher and his girlfriend a ride home. The whole ride his girlfriend is constantly talking, during the incessant ramble she says that Hamlet says a quote that he really doesn't and Cher corrects her on it. Sure, she learned the quote from the movie with Mel Gibson, but that doesn't take away from the fact that she knew that. It doesn't matter where you get your information through, as long as you get it and retain it. Clueless is a good movie, so check it out... but a helpful hint to all- skip the television series.

Clueless... uhhh
What can I say about this movie? It's like any other teenage movie, about teenagers in high school trying to meet cute guys and stuff. Same old thing! I used to not like it at the beginning, but now I sorta like it, it's alright. I got it as a present for my 8th grade birthday party, I didn't even know that movie until I got it. So anyways, I think you should buy this movie even if you dont like teenager movies, youll like this one!
