Thirty years after its release, "Clueless", inspired by Jane Austen's "Emma", is being celebrated for its humor and charm. Directed by Amy Heckerling, the film offers a modern take on classic literature, intertwined with references to notable filmmakers and authors. Alicia Silverstone's portrayal of the adorably conceited Cher captures the innocence and complexity of youth. Though some jokes may feel dated by today's standards, the film's enduring appeal lies in its quotable lines and lovable characters. It serves as both a high school comedy and a cultural touchstone that continues to resonate.
“Amy Heckerling's high school romcom masterpiece, inspired by Austen's Emma, is now on re-release for its 30th anniversary and more than ever it feels like a complete joy.”
“Cher's body-image jokes are of their time, but what contemporary movie has this level of sustained wit and fun?”
