Overview

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. Wikipedia ↗

About the Film

Clueless is a 1995 American teen comedy written and directed by Amy Heckerling, a modernized adaptation of Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma set among wealthy Beverly Hills teenagers. Alicia Silverstone stars as Cher Horowitz, a popular, fashion-obsessed high school student who believes she can improve everyone's life through matchmaking and makeovers while remaining oblivious to her own romantic feelings and personal shortcomings. When Cher takes on the transformation of new student Tai, played by Brittany Murphy, and the project backfires as Tai becomes more popular than Cher herself, the social upheaval forces Cher to genuinely examine her values.

Clueless was a defining cultural artifact of the mid-1990s — Alicia Silverstone's Cher, with her computerized closet, perfectly coordinated plaid outfits, and Valley Girl vocabulary ("As if!"), became a fashion icon and a template for an entire generation of teen comedy heroines. The film proved that Jane Austen's social comedy translated seamlessly across centuries and cultures. Clueless earned $56 million on a $12 million budget and has been cited as one of the most influential teen films ever made.

In Clueless (1995), Josh wears a University of Kansas ballcap. This hat really belonged to Paul Rudd. He asked the costume team if he could wear it in a few scenes to honour his alma mater.
