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.
Critics Sentiment
Cher realizes she is in love with Josh
Cher fails her driving test and cannot negotiate
The film dips during Cher's driving test failure but soars to its peak during her emotional epiphany about loving Josh.
Clueless maintains consistently strong audience reception throughout, with particular praise for its opening satirical setup and Cher's character development. The film reaches its emotional and critical peak during Cher's self-realization, with reviewers consistently highlighting Silverstone's performance and Heckerling's smart adaptation of Austen's Emma. Even the film's weaker moments are buoyed by clever dialogue and genuine character growth.
