Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Whatever
Review: This is a classic teen girl movie that every teenage girl must see. It's set in Beverly Hills, where the main character Cher goes through her daily life while trying to help out, her way. There is nothing like this movie. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cute but Clueless
Review: This modern teen version of Jane Austen's Emma set in Beverly Hills was an instant hit. Alicia Silverstone as a clueless Cher sparkles with charm, but not much wit in this light-hearted rendition. She happily sets up her teachers and reforms her new tomboyish friend, believing she is the utmost authority on romance. When her dreamboy turns out to be interested in boys and not her, and her new friend becomes more popular than she is at school, she realizes that she not only is as shallow as her stepbrother claimed she is, but she is the one who has no idea about love and romance. You will be swept into Cher's world by Silverstone's adorable embodiment of this Emma.

Putting a Best Word Forward.

Summary: "As if" you even needed a review to see this film!
Review: I was thirteen when "Clueless" was released in 1995, and was definitely part of the target audience director Amy Heckerling wanted to reach. This was the "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" for the 1990s (which, incidentally, Heckerling also directed back in the early 1980s).

Included in this film, were the cultural and generational trappings of adolescence (obsession with physical attraction, wearing the right brand names, having the right friends, etc.) that continue into post-adolescence and sometimes haunt us years after we graduate from high school and start a new chapter in life. It is also very funny, which is a plus. Though, much of the Southern California lingo is, perhaps, terribly dated--though, I could be mistaken, of course. (e.g. "Whatever," "He is such a Baldwin," "He's a friend of Dorothy") This is a whimsical look at the life of fifteen year old Cher Horowitz (played by the petulant, whining and very convincing Alicia Silverstone), a poor little rich girl with so much money she doesn't know what do with herself. So, she spends the bulk of her allowance on clothes, accessories and more clothes! I mean, this girl has enough clothes to start her own fashion boutique on Rodeo Drive! In order for her to properly accessorize her ensembles, she relies on a special computer program that matches her outfits together for her. Her best friend, Dionne (Stacey Dash), is also a poor little rich girl. The reason they have bonded is, because, in the words of Cher, "We were both named after famous people who now do infomercials. And, we both know what it feels like for people to be jealous of us." Together, these two young women give us a glimpse into the life of extravagantly rich, incredibly spoiled teenage drama queens and how money can't buy you everything.

"Clueless" was actually based on "Emma," the classic novel written by Jane Austen. Though, Victorian England has been updated to Southern California in the mid-1990s and the horsedrawn carriages have been replaced with Jeeps and flashy sportscars, the message about finding your own happiness through becoming less elitist and more thoughtful still rings true. This is a fun little film that you don't have to think too much about!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clueless
Review: I love this movie! This is a teen comedy about a couple of rich girls who live in the middle of Beverly Hills, they are trying to make everyone happier. How they do it is another story, Cher is playing matchmaker and setting up the teachers and everyone else, while looking for her love. Cher, the main character, is played by Alicia Silverstone. Cher is the typical rich girl, blonde hair, great body, and keen fashion sense. Dionne is her best friend, she is played by Stacey Dash. They also give makeovers to a new girl who just moved in. They die her hair, dress her up, and show her who to "hang" with. The plaid skirts are the typical outfit in this hilarious movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Clueless
Review: The average life of a sixteen year old girl is absolutely nothing like the life of Cher in the movie "Clueless". This movie tells the story of Cher, a sixteen year old girl from Beverly Hills, played by Alicia Silverstone. Her big dilemmas in life are if she can go shopping and how to argue her way through anything as her litigator father has taught her. This is movie is hilarious and is really easy to follow. You'll get caught up in the turmoils of Cher's difficult life living with her widowed father, dealing with her obnoxious step brother Josh, and trying to play matchmaker for her friends at school. Then the guy who her friend likes begins to like her instead. Her world starts to crumble when she realizes that she needs to find love for herself, not just for others.
This movie is a favorite among teenage girls. Even parents may find this movie funny. I really liked all of Cher's witty comments and I liked the story line of her setting up her friends with guys but never finding lover for herself. In the end, love is right under her nose in the place she least expected to look for it.
Many teenage girls like this movie. The majority of the girls who have seen this movie probably do not have nearly as much money aw she has or things her disposal by her maid and her dad. Despite this, you can still relate to Cher and her difficulties. What teenage girl can say she's never have problems with boys or deciding what to wear in her lifetime?
Many girls can relate to this aspect of the movie. Most people can probably not relate to Cher's Hollywood life, with her expensive house ("My house is classic, the columns date all the way back to 1972!") and her high flying lifestyle. But no one can help falling in love with her personality. I liked this movie mainly because of Cher's character. She can seem like a spoiled brat at times, but once you get to see her in the movie, you can see she is a really funny, entertaining girl.
All of her problems, such as what outfit to wear, sound like they would be annoying, but they really are quite humorous. Plus, she's easy to relate to. She seems like the kinds of girl that if you were having problems, she'd be there to talk to you and make you feel better. She is easy to relate to, and as I mentioned above, almost every girl can relate to some aspect of her life. Whether its not having the right shoes, or having the boys you like fall in love with one of your friends. Cher makes all her dilemmas comical however.
This movie can be enjoyed by many ages and types of people. It's basically poking fun of spoiled kids from Beverly Hills. Cher's main goal in life is to make other people happy, which she tries while setting up her friends and doing things for other people. Her own personal live could use a little something, but she tries not to worry about it.
This movie is somewhat of a chick flick, but it is enjoyed by all. A lot of guys have seen it and have no problem admitting it- it's a good movie! This is a classic movie, a must see, which everyone has to watch at least once in their life time. The average day in the life of Cher is nothing like that of a really "average" teenage girl, however this movie is hilarious and hits all the right spots with it's audience, promising a good time for all.



Rating: 5 stars
