Movie Description
A semi-vacuous, though well-dressed, Beverly Hills High student struggles with life, love and unlimited charge cards in this classic teen comedy from the director of FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH. Based, believe it or not, on Jane Austen's 1816 matchmaking comedy EMMA.
Synopsis
Loosely based on Jane Austen's classic, "Emma," high school teenagers in Beverly Hills (many of whom seem to be named after singers who now do television infomercials) change outfits, have nose jobs and cellular phones, and take care of everybody else's, except their own, social lives.
Film Notes

Industry Reviews
"...Silverstone is a winner. And so is the movie, which also functions as a lunatic update of 'Emma'..."
Rolling Stone - p.62-64 - Peter Travers
"...Alicia Silverstone goes to the head of the comedy class as Cher in the oft-hilarious high-school parody CLUELESS....[She] beams throughout..." -- 3 out of 4 stars
USA Today - p.1D - Susan Wloszczyna
"...[Silverstone is] dead-on....A satirical portrait..." - Recommended
Premiere - p.109 - Josh Rottenberg
"...A fresh, disarmingly bright and at times explosively funny comedy..."
Variety - Brian Lowry
"...Clever and amusing....[The] direction is dead-on as well, with every actor in the extensive cast both understanding and responding admirably to the material..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (07/19/1995)
"...CLUELESS is a smart and funny movie, and the characters are in on the joke....It will appeal to anyone who has a sense of humor and an ear for the ironic..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (07/19/1995)
"Arguably the CITIZEN KANE of mall-rat movies, Heckerling's savvy transposition of Jane Austen's EMMA to rich-kid California remains a delight."
Sight and Sound - Matthew Leyland (02/01/2006)
