In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing CLUELESS (1995), from writer/director Amy Heckerling, the film is a reimagining of Jane Austen's novel EMMA, set in 1990s Beverly Hills. In this story Emma is Cher Horowitz (Alicia Siverstone), a popular, rich, high schooler who is coming off the throes of victory from her first attempt at matchmaking. Convinced she can repeat her previous success and with the help of her BFF, Dionne (Stacey Dash), she attempts to replicate her previous success by helping the new girl, Tai (Brittany Murphy) also become a high school success. Along the way she navigates the highs and lows of high school, adolescence and romance. The film clocks in at 1 h and 37 m, is rated PG-13 and is currently streaming on Paramount+ and also to buy/rent on Prime Video. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
