Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher (Alicia Silverstone) is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school's pecking scale. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give hopelessly klutzy new student Tai (Brittany Murphy) a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother (Paul Rudd) was right about how misguided she was -- and falls for him.

Critics Consensus

A funny and clever reshaping of Emma, Clueless offers a soft satire that pokes as much fun at teen films as it does at the Beverly Hills glitterati.

[Amy Heckerling] secures from Silverstone the kind of performance to note as more than just promising. But everyone is good in the film, which seems to have a hotline to teenage mores of a certain type.

4/5

It’s a loose revamp of Jane Austen’s Emma that buzzes with the kind of emphatic “Valspeak” (Valley Girl parlance) that eventually spread beyond the cinema and helped transform the very rhythm of spoken English.

5/5

Silverstone is amazingly innocent and charming and her sublimely weightless screen presence has a kind of serenity and maturity that belongs to an instinctive comedy performer.

Heckerling does not labour the parallels with "Emma," but they give an extra dimension to her buoyant flm and suggest the nature of the enterprise.

3.5/4

Amy Heckerling's modern take on Jane Austen's Emma continues to hold up extremely well over time, with subsequent viewings proving to be as enjoyable as the initial one.

3/5

Here's a smart twist on the 90210 set and it's not difficult to see why young Ms Silverstone has become such a star.
