About Clueless

Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher 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 a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother was right about how misguided she was -- and falls for him.

Our take on Clueless

Amy Heckerling's 1995 comedy follows Cher, a wealthy, self-assured Beverly Hills teenager who fancies herself a matchmaker and social fixer. After successfully pairing off two teachers, she takes clumsy new student Tai under her wing for a makeover, only to have her protégée eclipse her, forcing Cher to confront how misguided she's been and to reckon with unexpected feelings for her disapproving ex-stepbrother. It's a bright, quotable romantic comedy that gently satirises privilege while letting its heroine grow up a little. Ideal for viewers who enjoy sharp, warm-hearted teen comedies with a distinctive voice and a soft spot beneath the polish.
