Summary: Interestingly done, a great adaptation
Review: This movie was very original when it came out. Since then there have been dozens of copies (as well as a poor quality sitcom of the same name) none of them even half as good. The story is a modernization of Emma, set in 1990's beverly hills. Cher tells her story about love, friendship, and betrayal with many humorous revelations along the way. It shows that even the rich and popular can fall and have problems. Funny but not very substantial. Its one of those movies you can watch over and over again and start quoting lines without it being too boring.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic! Classic! Classic!
Review: This clever, modern retelling of Jane Austen's novel "Emma " was one of the best high-school theme films made in the past twenty years. Written and directed by Amy Heckerling ("Fast Times at Ridgemont High"; "Look Who's Talking) spent a year in the lives of several teens at various high schools in Los Angeles to give the filmgoer a truly authentic look at life among the young social elites of Southern California.

Alicia Silverstone ("Excess Baggage"; "Batman & Robin") stars as Cher Horowitz, a young, hip teen residing with her lawyer father (Dan Hedaya) in Beverly Hills. Along with best friend Dionne (Stacey Dash of "Mo' Money"), the girls are the doers of social good deeds at their high school. Whether it is trying to play matchmaker for two lonely teachers (playwright Wallace Shawn and Twink Caplan, who is also an executive producer of the film) or doing a serious make over for Tai (Brittany Murphy) a new, dowdy student from the east coast, Cher is the toast of the school among her peers.

However, playing matchmaker for others has made Cher realized that she too needs to find someone special in her life. Pestered by her ex-stepbrother Josh (Paul Rudd) in doping deeds that benefits others and not only herself, Cher discovers that what she truly needs is a spiritual makeover that will allow her to attain happiness and respect. Yet, she wonders why it bothers her so much on what Josh is thinking? As the story progresses, we discover that opposites attract and Cher has realized how "clueless" she was while looking for Mr. Right.

Wonderfully directed and casted,"Clueless" features some memorable performance by Julie Brown (as Ms. Stoger, the physical education instructor), Donald Faison (as Dionne's boyfriend Murray) and Justin Walker, as Christian Stovitz. Walker who plays his role with comedic sensibility is great and witty as the boy Cher has the hots for, although she has little knowledge about his background.

"Clueless" is one of the best films released in the 1990's due to his smart use of popular lexicon, icons, and attitudes that can be attributed to most American teenagers. This is Silverstone's greatest performance to date, seeing that most of her later works did not go well with critics or filmgoers. Although a television series based on the film was launched in 1997, it couldn't capture the charm, wit, and performances of this film. "Clueless" is a classic teenage film you can watch over and over again. It's destined to become a cult classic

Summary: My favorite movie
Review: I love this movie its so funny, and who in high school does not want to see a movie about high school life? The movie also has slight twists that you dont see comming. The cast is great, the story line is, the sound track is and those witty lines are just the best! I definatly recomend this to all teenagers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Total Comedy
Review: I would just like to get this straight that this is a comedy movie everyone! All of these other reviews are saying, "Oh it is so shallow and snobby and stupid and bla bla bla" but really people it is FUNNY! That is the whole idea that there is such a rich, clueless, stuck up teen who knows nothing about life! It is making fun of dumb people like that. It is a very funny movie with great actors and actresses and I totally reccomend it to anyone!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A nice teen comedy
Review: The ads for this movie made Cher seem like a total snob and very superficial. Cher, however, matures throughout this movie. I loved the way that she was totally clueless about her own lovelife!!! It was so ironic that she was the matchmaker for Skye and Elton and her teachers. I also loved the way that this movie poked fun of teens and the "teen lingo".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Totally Trendy!)
Review: Trust me, this is a GREAT movie for teen girls! I love it! It's like one of my favorites! And I'm just like these charecter blond and clueless!) Okay all you trendy clueless girls, watch this!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The writers must have been Clueless!!!!!
Review: Holy smoke! This movie is awful! Scriptwise, actingwise and everything else........just awful. Who wants to go see a movie about some snobbish, clueless, wealthy teens?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Single best representation of a generation
Review: I don't care what anyone says. "Clueless" was a movie that changed a generation, its lingo, its style, and its appearence. Its what "Fast times at ridgemont high" did for the 80s'. Sure it took place in Beverly Hills High society but it wasn't hard to notice the mid 90s' flare. This is a represantation and historically important film. And also...its damn good!!!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst kind of thing Hollywood can offer us ...
Review: Hollywood and the American omive industry can produce some of the best entertainment products of all times : supense films like "SEVEN", "THE SIXTH SENSE"; comedies like "AIRPLANE", dramas like "DEAD POETS SOCIETY", so oon, so on. But it also can deliver terrible motion pictures like this "CLUELESS". I don't know how Alicia accepted to shoot this picture. It's totally pointless, fruitless, no meaning at all, a pure MTV style product. The main character who is a "cult person" sometimes give a good critic, but in the end he stays with Silverstone's character, which passed thourgh a "deep" transformation: she did a single charity campaing ! Sad history, empty characters, bad screenplay.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: HORRIBLE
Review: The fact that so many people liked this garbage is a real portrait of our moderns society. The movie is totally empty, trying to be critical and comic at the same that, but isn't none of them. It's plain horrible, totally flat photography, totally unconvincing characters.
