Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review Alicia Silverstone won everyone over with her portrayal of a Beverly Hills teen, Cher, whose penchant for helping others with their relationships and self-esteem is a cover for her own loneliness. Director Amy Heckerling (IFast Times at Ridgemont High/I) made a smart, funny variation on Jane Austen's novel IEmma/I, sweetly romantic and gently satirical of I90210/I social manners. The cast is unbeatable: Dan Hedaya as Cher's rock-solid dad, Wallace Shawn as a geeky teacher, Paul Rudd as the boy who has always been Cher's surrogate brother--and the true holder of her most secret wishes.

Cher (Silverstone) has a privileged life, she goes to a great school and is popular along with her good friend Dionne (Dash).pShe lives with her widowed father (Hedaya) and the only pebble under her perfectly manicured feet is her ex step-brother Josh (Rudd).pCher loves to play matchmaker and can't resist the challenge when she meets the new girl in school, Ty, who isn't exactly 'popular' material at first glance. Having taken her under her wing and given her a complete makeover, Cher then tries to match her up with various boys.pThis is alright until Ty takes a fancy to Josh and then Cher suddenly realises that she has feelings for him herself - but who will get the man?pSilverstone is absolutely fantastic in this film. She handles the difficult role SO well and you can't help but really like Cher and want her to get the man of her dreams for all her obvious flaws.pAdd a brilliant combination of comedy, both oneliners and visual, and the fact that it's literally such a colourful movie and you've got yourself a film that will leave you smiling for ages afterwards. a delightful, very enjoyable, very clever film February 20, 2007 Mr. Ian A. Macfarlane (Fife, Scotland) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful 'Clueless' is an adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Emma', transferred to an American high school. It is beautifully scripted and directed (by Amy Heckerling), and all the main elements in the book are very naturally and convincingly paralleled. There's a first-rate central performance from Alicia Silverstone as Cher, the well-meaning but naive and managing Emma equivalent with Paul Rudd a good foil to her in the Knightley role. Special mention for Dan Hedaya as Cher's Dad, a high-powered lawyer putting in a lugubrious but in the end kindly portrayal. But the whole cast are good and there's some very nice ensemble playing. It's something of a feel-good film - nothing wrong with that - but genuinely witty and fresh. Very enjoyable, well worth seeing. CHICK FLICK? WHATEVER. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, DON'T JUDGE! August 6, 2002 19 out of 22 found this review helpful The phrase 'chick flick' strikes fear into the heart of many a man across the world - occassionally women too, but predominantly the male species. Well, I'm a guy, and there's no need to fear this! There are awful girly flicks out there - 10 Things I Hate About You and Bring It On being the main offenders - but Clueless is different somehow. It's funny without being soppy, and has its share of laugh out loud moments. Even the romantic links don't manage to make you puke in disgust - surely a good sign!br What's it all about? Well, Cher is the most popular girl at Bronson Alcott High School. Her and Dionne are at the top of the social tree and they rule the school. Everything goes along just fine until Josh, Cher's nerdy ex-stepbrother arrives, as does Tai, a girl who has no idea about contemporary Californian style. So Tai is made popular, but Cher's interference in her lovelife backfires, and all of a sudden there is a new man in her life! As her world starts to unravel, what will become of her?br Alicia Silverstone plays Cher and she plays such an unbelievable person so convincingly that it is scary! Why didn't she get an Oscar nomination? Paul Rudd is ace as wise-cracking sarcasm king Josh, whilst Stacey Dash is marvellous as short tempered 'technically virginal' Dionne. Brittany Murphy plays stupid Tai, and Elisa Donovan plays 'ensemble challenhed' Amber brilliantly. Am I biased? No, I don't like all chick flicks, and I wasn;t a fan of anyone in it beforehand. So there.br Memorable scenes include Tai falling downstairs at a party, Dionne and her boyfriend Murray's argument outside school and Cher saying that 'I learn you lose weight by doing it like this' when eating chips. br Chick-flick it may be, but this is an intelligent, good-hearted film with everyone involved giving their all. Don't be put off by the tag attached to chick-flick... this is in a class of its own, end of story. Buy it. Brilliant October 15, 2001 4 out of 4 found this review helpful I love this film. It's just so totally great. My best friend at College and I got a terrible reputation for wondering around going "whatever" and "I totally love that....".And yes, Cher is daft as a brush, but you can't help liking her. Shallow can be good.And let's not foget the adorable Josh - now you KNOW why you don't date high school boys. There are so many brilliant moments it's hard to pick a few out, but how about:Cher's Dad to Christain:"If anything happens to my daughter I've got a 44 and a shovel. I doubt anyone would miss you."That smile that Josh gives her in the car, which you get a slo-mo of later on. And when Cher goes off to the party in the little white dress and Josh looks sick with jealousy.Watch it, buy it, you'll love it. Old and loving it! December 31, 2006 Joanne P. Holland (leicester) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I first saw this film when I was 30 and it made me laugh - I watched it again more or less straightaway and have never stopped loving it - I'm 40 now and STILL rate it in the top 10 - never has a movie been more quotable and I can only think that if you haven't loved it you haven't watched it properly!!Silverstone is superb - it shouldn't be written off as for airheads!!!
