	Clueless - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clueless was a film written and directed by Amy Heckerling.
		Additionally it is one of the few times when the majority of the cast of teenage characters was portrayed by actual teenagers, with the exception of Dash who was 29 years old at the time of filming.
		Filmed over a span of a few weeks in early 1995, the movie was released in the United States on July 19, 1995.

	Clueless (1995)
		I must have been completely clueless when I first watched the film because I missed all the clues that the director had sprinkled throughout the film regarding the character's sexual orientation which are now so obvious on the second viewing.
		Fans of Jane Austen novels love pointing out that the plot borrows quite heavily (read: outright modern-day adaptation) from her novel Emma, but I think it is enjoyable as a film in its own right even if you are not aware of the literary reference.
		Clueless is a delightful teen comedy that launched the career of Alicia Silverstone (who unfortunately has not quite capitalised on the opportunity and is now dangerously skirting on "Former Celebrities: Where Are They Now?" territory).

	Amazon.com: Clueless: DVD: Silverstone,Rudd,Murphy,Dash,F
		"Clueless" is one of the best films released in the 1990's due to his smart use of popular lexicon, icons, and attitudes that can be attributed to most American teenagers.
		Clueless follows the life of protagonist Cher, who feels that she can control / change anything she wants.
		Although a television series based on the film was launched in 1997, it couldn't capture the charm, wit, and performances of this film.

	"Clueless" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Especially vulnerable are the pre-teen girls who will be less than favorably influenced by the attitudes and actions of the heroine of Clueless named Cher.
		While the film makers succeed in presenting this fashion addicted, sexually savvy, party-hard group of girls in a comical light, the film also succeeds in glorifying all of the above behavior.
		The plot revolves around Cher's trials and tribulations as she negotiates her relationships with her father, her friends and her step-brother.

	IGN: Clueless Review
		Less preachy then the John Hughes films from the eighties and definitely less desperate then the series of brainless dick and fart joke based comedies that sprung in the wake of American Pie, Clueless is unabashedly sweet and endearing.
		Like so many film?s that followed in its wake, Clueless finds its inspiration in a classic work of literature. A very savvy updating of Jane Austen?s Emma, the film makes up in charm what it lacks in plot developments. One of my only real complaint about teen movies like this are their rather threadbare ?connect-the-dots?
		or the universally relatable story, Clueless is and forever will be the high water mark for teen films in this new generation.

	Review: Clueless
		Clueless looks at a number of Cher's "escapades": her attempts to turn a sweet-but-uncool schoolmate (Brittany Murphy) into the epitome of popularity, her matchmaking between two teachers (Twink Kaplan and respected character actor Wallace Shawn), and her search for true love.
		Clueless is the cinematic equivalent of cotton candy: certainly not unpleasant, but not especially satisfying despite the sweet taste.
		Essentially, nothing much happens -- the film is an excuse to plunge into the life of a caricature that Silverstone makes more appealing than one might reasonably expect.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Clueless
		Told as a "This is my life" from rich kid Cher (Silverstone), the film is an update of Emma that follows the socialite through her daily ritual--schmoozing for better grades, applying makeup, leading on boys, and generally being a snob (but proud of it).
		With her track record, Clueless is actually one of the better entries.
		Starring Alicia Silverstone and a gaggle of talentless teen actors and actresses, the title of Clueless is perfect Truth in Advertising.

	Amazon.co.uk: Clueless Ost [Soundtrack]: Music
		Overall though, the soundtrack to 'Clueless' is a good compilation album in its own right.
		'Clueless' has become the defining comedy of the late teen - early twentysomething generation along with the 'American Pie' series and 'Romy And Michele's High School Reunion'.
		But perhaps the song that 'Clueless' is best remembered for is Coolio's 'Rollin' With My Homies' which was played at the party in the Valley!

	Amazon.co.uk: Clueless [1995]: DVD
		Clueless is director Amy (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) Heckerling's smart, funny variation on Jane Austen's novel Emma, sweetly romantic and gently satirical of 90210 social manners.
		Add a brilliant combination of comedy, both oneliners and visual, and the fact that it's literally such a colourful movie and you've got yourself a film that will leave you smiling for ages afterwards.
		Rich Kids in LA who party and shop and are Clueless!

	Welcome to CampusNut.com -- Movie Reviews
		Seriously, though, “Clueless” is an awesome movie about learning to fit in, and also learning that it’s ok if you don’t always fit in.
		The film follows the adventures and misadventures of Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone), a teenage girl who just happens to live in Beverly Hills and was raised by a single father.

	DVD Empire - Item - Clueless / DVD-Video
		I figured that since I did review of "Clue", I should strike at the opposite side and do "Clueless." Now before any of you choose upon the obvious joke about my critical view and the film title, I should warn you that I have never seen this movie in it's entirety until this very weekend.
		I love Clueless, it is a movie which you can never get tired of.
		Now Cher is about to learn that when it comes to love, she’swell, Clueless.

	E! Online - E! TV - "E! True Hollywood Story" - Clueless
		The film ushered in a new era of teen comedies (prefacing the likes of Scream, Can't Hardly Wait and American Pie), spawned a TV show (UPN's 1996-99 same-named sitcom) and gave more than a dozen future stars their big chance to, you know, shine.
		Not the alumni of Clueless, the 1995 sleeper hit that made Jane Austen's Emma so, like, totally cool again.

	DVD review of Stargate: Ultimate Edition - DVD Town
		Early scenes in the film where the language rift exists between the military travelers and the native slave population being punctuated by a lack of subtitles, leaving the viewer just as clueless as to the motives and understandings of the villagers as the military crew.
		This new version of the film opens with a scene that is seen later in the film, that of Ra coming down from the heavens in his ship to take a human form to house his dying mind.
		The theatrical version of the film is crafted in such a way as to pull the audience along on the journey and allow them to experience the discoveries of Kurt Russel’s Col. O’Neil and Dr. Jackson on a parallel path, ignoring the omniscient viewpoint that is common in today’s films.

	CI5472 Teaching Film, Television, and Media
		The film and television adaptations of the Jane Austen novels, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma, and Clueless, a modern adaptation of Emma, demonstrate the 19th century origins of this romance storyline.
		Early film comedy that emerged in the silent film era focused on non-verbal pantomime, in which exaggeration and physical dexterity functioned as comic elements.
		Films by Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, and the Marx Brothers, as well as Saturday Night Live engage in parody or ridicule of institutions, traditional social norms, and other genres.

	Xiibaro Reviews: Loser, What Lies Beneath, Jules and Jim, and Jesus' Son
		Loser was supposed to be a Clueless or Fast Times at Ridgemont High in college, but it fails to ever come near its predecessors.
		There is a charm to the film, that is one thing that I must give it, and it does have some fine moments, but most of the film is an all out bore.
		This, the third Hitchcockian film in recent years, is not the best, but it sure is the closest to the master.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Loser at Epinions.com
		Loser is a well meaning film from the director of Fast Times at Ridgemont High and the writer/director of Clueless.
		The film tries way too hard to make the lead victim (I mean actor) into a hopeless, over trusting, pathetic geek, that you go from feeling pity to wanting him to get the girl and the film to be over so you can get away from this pathetic creep within the film's first 20 minutes.
		Now I didn't actually ruin the film because within five minutes you'll know where the film is heading and there's little doubt there would be a film at all if it didn't end the way it does.

	Emma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An updated version of the story was used as the basis of another film, Clueless.
		Besides being adapted several times for television and radio, Emma became a successful film, first in 1932, starring Marie Dressler and Richard Cromwell, and Emma then again in 1996, starring Gwyneth Paltrow.
		Emma is a novel by Jane Austen, generally regarded as the most perfectly constructed of all her works.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Bully
		Even Bobby's clueless father is oblivious to his son's actions; in fact, all the parents in the film are ignorant to the actions of their children.
		Larry Clark -- who wrote and directed his first film, Kids, at the tender age of 52 and in the process, broke the mold about what we should expect from a movie about teenagers -- returns to familiar ground in Bully, a striking and harrowing follow-up.
		It probably goes without saying, but this is one summer teen movie that's probably not for the kids.

	Portland Mercury - Film - Vote NO on <i>Mooseport </i>
		The deeply cynical 1972 film The Candidate, for instance, stars Robert Redford as a lawyer smart enough to win a senate seat, but clueless as to how to be a senator.
		The only time the film rises past a G-rating is when an elderly lady refers to the girlfriend as a "booty poodle." Even the president's ex-wife, who is greedily battling the president for his fortunes, is, at best, a mild-mannered villain.
		However, it's possible election movies have never been as benign as in Welcome To Mooseport, a tepid and entirely unoffensive comedy about a mayoral election in a small town.

	GreenCine product main - Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987)
		Nearly the entire storyline of the previous film has been re-shot and presented in a drastically condensed form within the first few minutes: rock-jawed but clueless "hero" Ash (Campbell) now visits the mountain cabin only with girlfriend Linda (played here by Denise Bixler).
		The obvious glee with which Raimi and company present this cavalcade of slime-drenched monstrosities and Three Stooges pratfalls makes it impossible to take seriously as a horror film, but Evil Dead 2 is nevertheless essential viewing among connoisseurs of truly demented cinema.
		The zombie films that will teach you to love, to learn and to aim for the head....

	Utter Trash--Movies 1
		It’s far more coherent and professional looking than some of his films, but still contains all the elements that define his work; atmospheric locations, clueless “heroes”, sexy living dead girls, and a strong sense of romanticism and mystery throughout.
		French director Jean Rollin has been exploring his romantic obsession with the undead for five decades now, starting with his riot inducing (really) 1968 gothic-erotic art film ‘Rape of the Vampire’ and continuing on up to the present with this latest offering.
		He reuses a few bits from past films, notably the idea of a vampire emerging from a clock, but this feels more like a culmination of his themes than an attempt at rehashing them.

	Possession
		As one of Labute's favored actors, they both must shoulder responsibility for this clueless performance which, in large measure, undermines the film.
		Tacked on, quite gratuitously in the film version at least, is a subplot of competing scholars following at Michell and Bailey's heels.
		It is the two love stories which are the substance of the film.

	'Loser': Welcome to the Big City: Sometimes It's a Bit Cruel
		She is responsible not only for "Clueless" (1996), a Jane Austen adaptation superior in wit and insight to anything the Merchant-Ivory gang could ever hope to perpetrate, but also, along with Cameron Crowe, for "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," one of the touchstones of modern youth culture, still notable for its intelligence and realism.
		Heckerling's new movie, "Loser," which she wrote and directed, falls short of the high standards set by her earlier work, it is at least smarter and more probing than, say, "Boys and Girls," the summer's other college love story.
		Their blithe sadism, which the academic system colludes with, connects "Loser" to the great John Hughes comedies of the mid-1980's, which concealed live wires of class antagonism within the insulating fluff of senior-prom anxiety.

	July 27, 2000: Screen, Sore Loser
		From her classic Fast Times At Ridgemont High to Clueless, her films are informed by a real understanding of teenage desires, fears and hopes.
		Time and again the film pauses, as if to say, "See, this is funny, this is meaningful--laugh, cry." Neither is really forthcoming.
		Ultimately Loser suggests that Heckerling has lost her touch for convincingly portraying the lives of young people.

	08loser
		Clueless is another great film bringing Alicia Silverstone to teen star status in case she wasn't there already.
		The title of Loser is directed at her, the film industry, and the fools like me who paid to see it.
		Every clip from the film that could be construed as funny, all happens within the first ten minutes.

	Review: Loser
		Loser is guaranteed to appeal to anyone who has liked the umpteen recent late teens/early twenties romantic comedies, but the film also has qualities that could attract a wider audience.
		With Loser, Heckerling has graduated from high school (where two of her previous outings, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Clueless, were set), but the qualities that make her characters appealing have not been lost in the process.
		Loser bucks the summer trend, proving that a little light romance is an appealing antidote to an overdose of testosterone and adrenaline.

	Daylight (1996)
		Sylvester Stallone doesn't play a commando or soldier, but for once plays a regular guy who is really clueless at times when it comes to escape.
		Goofs: Continuity: When Kit and Madelyne are coming out of the water after the explosion the sky is cloudy, but when they are saved a few minutes later the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.
		Though there is a lot of good stuff here, there's a lot of contrived plot twists and predictable storylines.
