SummaryIt's not easy being the most popular and glamorous girl at Beverly Hills High. Especially when you're the envy of scheming Betties (female babes), persistent Barney's (unattractive guys), loser loadies (potheads), and teachers who go postal (freak out) when you turn your homework in late! Yet somehow 15-year-old Cher (Silverstone) keeps it all to... Read More

Clueless” is a highly entertaining and charming teen comedy that has stood the test of time. The story centers around Cher, a spoiled and fashion-savvy high school student, and offers a humorous yet insightful look into teenage life in America. The film touches on themes such as friendship, self-discovery, and first love.

The summer's most compelling movie about teenagers.

USA Today
The film bobs along like a designer balloon, pumped with wry observations on Marky Mark and Mentos ads. But none of the other cartoonish characters command like twinkly Silverstone.

Rolling Stone
OK, the plot is inane, Val-gal-speak is a clichT, and Heckerling was more incisive covering similar hormonal ground 13 years ago in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." But there's still wicked good fun to be had.

Chicago Reader
Though this drifts at times as storytelling, it's mainly lightweight but personable fun.

Austin Chronicle
Michael Lehmann's "Heathers" followed the same sort of story line to much better effect in 1989, and Clueless leaves you itching to race over to the video store in search of just that.

How can you not love this movie??? Clueless is the best movie from this style, im my opinion. Cher is so fabulous! The characters clothes are completely flawless and amazing. I've watched this more than 12 times, and all of those i had so much fun like if i was watching for the very first time! They are so cool and popular, hang out with all these friends and go to these cool parties, especially cher... she's everything i wish i was lol. One of my comfort movies. Perfect!

A Clever Beverly Hills Matchmaker Learns the True Meaning of Love Beyond Perfect Strategies.200615 (2.5)"Daddy, did you ever try really hard to persuade someone and it just didn't work?" A girl whose dating strategies were completely flawless, on her journey to truly learning love. I thought that tall, handsome guy somehow looked like Ant-Man, and sure enough, it was Paul Rudd. Cher seems to fill the entire world with love, but in the end, it is merely a childlike stubbornness wishing to turn everything into her own personal fairytale. The tomboy Tai was Brittany Murphy, so cute. Anyone could see that Christian is gay, but Cher was totally oblivious. "I decided to make a total makeover of my soul this time. And then, I started seeing the good qualities in my friends." But aren't they practically siblings anyway? Even if they don't share blood, they grew up together. Directed by Amy Heckerling, the 1995 teen comedy classic "Clueless" loosely adapts Jane Austen's novel "Emma" into modern 1990s Beverly Hills, following Cher Horowitz as she navigates high school social hierarchies, well-intentioned matchmaking, and unexpected romance.

I don’t even know how to start this. Clueless is fine. It has some nice performances by Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd. The cinematography is passable. It can be quite funny, and the writing is pretty good. The main issue with this film is its point and the character arcs. Without getting into spoilers, so many arcs and themes seem incomplete, like it was too scared to go all the way with a message.

A big mess, without culmination, is not fun and doesn't take your interest. To me it was new and weird to see in a teen comedy the "popular"girls at school being smart as well. For a comedy there were not much successful jokes. Although, "Mean girls" has stolen the idea of ​​the "losers" transformation, in "Clueless" it was developed much worse. I give the movie 2/10, just because of the scene with the driving lesson, which made me laugh.

WHAT I LIKED: Some of the acting is very convincing and erm.... WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Serious messages? They're there, but are mostly to buy into, not think about - these characters represent something so wrong. 'Clueless' is a commercialised, cliched-American, very run off the mill rom-com with very few funny moments. I suppose this film is supposed to be all that, but that doesn't make it enjoyable for me VERDICT: It's terrible. Really. Nothing redeems this film in any way.
