Jane Austen might never have imagined that her 1816 novel Emma could be turned into a fresh and satirical look at ultra-rich teenagers in a Beverly Hills high school. Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and Dionne (Stacey Dash), both named after "great singers of the past that now do infomercials," are pampered upper-class girls who care less about getting good grades than wearing the right clothes and being as popular as possible. But Cher, who lives with her tough yet warm-hearted lawyer dad (Dan

There's such a gaping discontinuity between her physical beauty and her vacant, gum-snapping personality that she's like a walking advertisement for everything that's right and wrong with America.
The summer's most compelling movie about teenagers.
A fresh, disarmingly bright and at times explosively funny comedy well worth a trip to the mall, even if it eventually runs out of gas.
Though this drifts at times as storytelling, it's mainly lightweight but personable fun.
While Miss Silverstone guides Cher through the witty costume changes that serve as character development, she's backed up by a solid supporting cast.
By the time you skip out of the theater, you've had a great time but can't remember a single reason why.
Like watching a gifted student sell out to the popular idiot crowd.
The most surprising thing about Clueless, given how enthusiastically it indicts its characters and their universe, is how much fun it is.
Clueless is a happy bubble, and Alicia Silverstone comes into her own as a confident young comedienne.
Silverstone makes Cher's insularity appealingly innocent (even in the midst of crisis, she can't resist checking out the latest fashion lines), and an attempted seduction scene is sweetly hopeless.
...although the movie isn't quite the classic it's been made out to be, it's a mindlessly diverting way to kill 97 minutes.
Smug and self-loathing.
It's funny to watch how the careers of the teens have taken off, or not, and how movies about teens have changed in a meer decade...
Mostly harmless fun and totally rewatchable. Like, totally.
The movie's simple yet spot-on characters and performances make the laughs timeless, no matter how firmly the film is set in 1995.
The fact that you instantly like these spoiled little rich kids is a testament to Amy Heckerling's skills as a screenwriter.
A very funny movie that elevates its genre.
Quickly becoming a teen-angst classic.
Such a adorable teen comedy!!! Alicia Silverstone is absolutely beautiful & Paul Rudd is adorable as always. I really love this movie!!! :) :) :) :)

Need to see it again, but think it was quite funny in a cheesy way.
