Clueless movie review

                                                                Clueless (1995) - IMDb 

Clueless, a cult classic produced by Robert Lawrence ,Scott Rudin, and Barry M. Berg, with Twink Caplan as Associate Producer and Adam Schroeder as Co-Producer, under the direction and writing of Amy Heckerling. The 30th anniversary showing of an iconic 1995 decade defining film that encapsulates the witty satire of 90's teen humour in a funny coming of age film set in the affluent Beverly Hills, California. The film is a loose adaptation of Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma. The plot centres on a beautiful, popular, wealthy high school student, Cher, who wants to do "good deeds" to cope with adolescence and its myriad of problems. She befriends a newcomer and decides to give her a makeover while playing matchmaker for her teachers and examining her own high school existence and running into problems and unexpected romance on the way. The movie is a breath of fresh air from modern cinema,  transports u to the 90's through the colours, language and setting,  dynamic from the costumes to the acting and the classic tropes that don't feel dry, dull and overdone, the film is greatly composed with beautiful cinematography. Though the relationship the protagonist formed was disturbing and poorly written. However, I believe the movie is overall worth the watch, a throw back to the 90's with witty humour to enjoy on the weekend.
