I was 6 in '95....I can't believe I saw this in theaters (twice) when it released. My mom was very young as well and raising two girls by herself (we didn't understand any of the innuendos at the time of course). I just remember my sister and myself loving it and wanting to watch it again...now at 32, I still love it. Haha.
I love that Cher isn’t the stereotypical mean girl. She has her selfish moments but she grows so much throughout the movie and is never actually mean to anyone.
Yeah, I don't think she's a snob. Sure, she's blissfully unaware of her wealth and privilege. But you get the sense she doesn't see herself as better than others generally. She's a little dismissive of the skateboarder dude at first... but then he is the dude known for skipping school and smoking pot all day haha Generally she's a decent person.
That's what gives this movie it's charm really. She's not vindictive, like say Regina George is, and is actually well meaning in a lot of her things. And when something mean happens it's blatantly shown to be so, like when Tai calls Cher "a virgin who can not drive" which was CLEARLY a mean verbal slap.
The movie is based on the classic novel Emma by Jane Austen. In that the main character ends up with her sister's husband's brother who has known her since she was a baby and is 16 years older than her (shes 21 and he's 37).
@@themoviebud1988 There's the new movie, the Gwenyth Paltrow movie, the TV movie from the same year and about 2 tv series if you're interested in seeing the original. If you're looking for another remake there's the webshow 'Emma Approved', pretty close to being on the same level as 'Clueless'.

Saaame. Sometimes they're defending the honour of the female characters more than I am as a chick. Whereas there are too many male commentators who just aren't fun to watch at all. They either spend way too much time creepily lusting after female characters, take their "manhood" too seriously to enjoy a chick flick...

REST IN PEACE to the beautiful Brittany Murphy ! She was in a lot of these classics and I remember this being her first breakthrough. I actually liked her a lot in clueless.
Cher (like Emma in the novel) is basically super sheltered and naive. Here it's mostly because she's a privileged teen, as in the novel, but you can add a very protective father in the book as well. In the 2007 (maybe 2008?) mini series they leaned into it very hard, but it's there in the text as well, that Emma's father basically kept his daughters near him out of fear that they'd die or get ill. Which keeps Emma very ignorant of what's actually going on. In the background you can often see students walking around with plasters on their noses as if they'd just had a nose job. :D
Lol! We didn’t say “groovy” in CA in the ‘90s. Cher says it to use terminology from her mom’s time, because her mom died when Cher was a baby (probably in the late ‘70s). And Cher was right about valet. I didn’t have to parallel park during my driving test, because it was deemed unnecessary. Which, when I moved out of the area, turned into a pain to have to learn.
So she talks that way to feel closer to her mum? Aww that's actually really sweet 😭 The valet thing is so crazy, although I don't have a license so I guess I can't judge 😅 - Stef
I wrote a paper on this movie while getting my bachelor in library science back in 2004. We compared it both to the original novel and the more traditional adaptation with Gwyneth Paltrow that came out just a few months after Clueless. Our professor was not thrilled having to see the movies or read the book (again). But he took it like a pro.
the scene with lucy is just extra funny to me because for some reason mexicans and salvadorans have, like, actual beef (i seriously don’t know why, but i’m mexican on my mom’s side and salvi on my dad’s and my families stay making jokes about it) so part of me feels like not only was lucy offended to be called by the wrong nationality, but to be called a mexican of all things 😭
Btw the party they went to with Christian wasn't a high school party, Cher mentions that some of her 'ex-stepbrothers friends' are having a party so I'm guessing Josh was actually invited and it was a college party that some of the kids from the high school just tagged along to
the thing is when we first see paul rudd in this movie her dad and his mom aren't even together anymore so they aren't even step siblings people are just freaked out they were :P
Yeah, I got detention multiple times for pointing out that my High school form tutor had a group of girls that she really favoured and was kind of harsh with everyone else by comparison. She denied it for the whole five years but then she invited them to her wedding the year after we left school, it was actually really weird .
@@MrParkerman6 that's true. Joey loved him a sandwich. And Ross went mental (literally) over his MoistMaker being eaten at work. But Joey would eat a sandwich if he found it on the ground and wouldn't care about the composotion of it And Ross just had a thing for that one specific one. So idk🤷
NO , It's worse. In the book, she's 20 and he's 37, and specifically talks about holding her as a baby. He's much much more involved in her day-to-day life in the book, and admits to being in love with her since she was like 12. The relationship in Clueless is wholesome comparatively.

This is based on the book Emma by Jane Austen. A classic English masterpiece. If you watch Emma with Gwenyth Paltrow you will see the similarities and reasons for some of the different choices she makes. This 90s version is now also a classic 🥰
I still love the theory of this movie that Cher is a lesbian, and the reason that she convinces herself she loves Josh is bc she's jealous of him and Tai but she's actually in love with Tai and just can't process it correctly.

as for why she is forcing it: its based on emma in which she the lead (emma/cher) is setting up mr. elton with a friend. i guess by today's standards its forced but back then and in the 90s: not at all
It was driving me nuts the whole time but, did you guys not recognize that Tai was the late Brittany Murphy ? R.I.P. She died at the young ass age of 32. Sad... Fun Fact: Amy Heckerling who directed and produced Clueless also did Fast Times At Ridgemont High, another classic with TONS of Cameos of “oh! isn’t that ?“ And “weren’t they in ?“ moments.
Yeah, we actually did talk about it but I cut it because it was kind of just me explaining it to Stef and it was a long and depressing section that I couldn’t shorten and still have it make sense. No shit? I love Fast Times haha, such a classic - Sam
The helicopter is a reference to what they said earlier in the movie about all parties in the valley getting shut down by the police. In LA, where the traffic is terrible, police helicopters are relatively common. So as she was talking on the phone, a police helicopter arrived at the party to shut it down.
Great reaction guys ! Love this film. Some school scenes were filmed in my highschool. As for the terms they use ... it’s not weird for us Californians 😂 Can you guys react to mean girls ? Also a classic !
Very much appreciated, thank you! That’s so cool! Really? I guess slang terms really do differ a lot in different places 😂 yes, absolutely we’re doing mean girls. Probably in a few videos 😋🙏
found one of your videos and am now binge-watching because you’re awesome 😃 this is one of my all-time favorite films, and i agree with you guys on pretty much everything except your take on poor Travis. he’s totally not a douchebag 🥺 he’s actually my favorite character because i love his completely chill vibe. side note: he was written to be the heir of the Birkenstock family, but they didn’t emphasize it, just threw in the mention of his last name and the laid-back hippie vibe and let people figure it out for themselves. it was a couple of years after it came out i think that they mentioned he was in an interview.
12:40 The helicopter is an LA thing/US city thing. The local news (moreso back then, but still now) will just send out helicopters to film while cops bust parties, raid houses, etc.
I know that Cher and Paul Rudd didn't consider each other siblings and all, and their parents are divorced, but like it's still weird to me idk. This movie would be god tier without that imo
She says "Groovy" cause she is talking to her mom. Cher would have been born in 78 or 79 which would mean her mom was probably in her teen years in the 70s
The reason why this movie is so overlooked today is because now almost everyone is clueless. She's not dumb, she's clueless, but now that concept is lost. This movie is brilliant because it's a simple idea done so well: teens being clueless, in everything they say and do. Judging it as if it's serious, is also a very clueless thing to do, which is my point 😋 Also "step-siblings" is not a thing. Brothers can be either siblings (at least one common parent, thus blood-related) or step-brothers (not related). It creeps me out to hear people say that...
As someone who grew up in the valley, the helicopter was there because that's what happens to all house parties in the valley. The cops have decided that this party is over.
12:37 guys welcome to The Valley! That would be the San Fernando Valley to be precise and the helicopters are _always_ like that. The Circus Liquor is really in the SFV on the corner of Vineland and Burbank.
I was confused when I first watched this movie, UNTIL I heard it was like a modern version of Jane Austin’s book Emma. Which is about a young girl who likes to match make.
Honestly, her interest seemed very much from a mentoring perspective to me, but maybe that’s just how I see it based on my own personality traits 🤷♂️ - Sam
@@themoviebud1988 it clicked with me when Cher tried to interject into a conversation Tai was having without her...I just really feel she misdirected her conclusion when she got jealous that Josh and Tai might into each other
Sam saying 'not that I was getting a girlfriend in high school anyway' gives me vibes of the 'ugly' girl who is cast as someone super pretty (Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality, Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries, Rachael Leigh Cook in She's All That, etc.). I mean obviously it's in the past and I don't know what happened but come on, girls really be passing these two by? Tragic world
The guy that robbed her is more of a gentleman because he didn't sexually assault her and put her in a dangerous situation, also he was polite enough to say thank you.
This is a late comment, but frankly I’m shocked no one mentioned Road Trip. It’s raunchy in a ridiculous way, but it’s fun to laugh at, and I think you guys would enjoy it just for the sheer entertainment value of seeing Stef’s doppelgänger a third time. 😂
I mean, we'll probably eventually do every movie with Breckin Meyer in it, so this one's on the list. But, there's also quite a few movies ahead of it currently. Good choice, tho. I remember seeing it around when it came out 😊 - Sam
@@themoviebud1988 Oh no rush at all, and I don't even care if you do it for the channel (though of course I'd enjoy your reaction if you did). It's not a favorite by any means, I just love the Breckin Meyer theme that was happening. :P
Clueless was a 90s version of Emma. Someone spends too much time thinking (superficially) of others’ and meddling in their lives that she oblivious to her life, her problems, her love life. Not until she really pays attention to others that she begins to change and see that these superficial projections are insecurities she sees in herself. I think that it’s a classic because it was able to translate the themes of Emma in a more contemporary setting, well, the 90s without veering too into the expected cringe and formulaic recipe of the typical rom-com vehicle. It wasn’t too deep, too superficial, but had charm, wit, characters, and it’s accessible.
The thing is this story is based off Emma by Jane Austen and it really shows how beautiful the story is even in 1995, and this story could be told today and it still would be perfect
I love the comment about the helicopter in not sure where you guys are from but it’s stigmatized that in medium to low income neighborhoods you always hear helicopters because the police are always looking for a suspect on the run 😂
We're from Sydney, Australia. I've heard police choppers around here as well, just never flying so low or with the spotlight on. Legit thought Cher was about to be arrested or something 😂

Cher and Josh were step siblings for about a year when she was 10 and he was 12 or 13. Her dad just took him under his wing.
Yeah, that definitely makes it way less weird. Wish I had picked up on that detail sooner 😂
Yes! One of the best lines in the movie, said by Cher's father: "You divorce spouses, not kids."

as for why she is forcing it: its based on emma in which she the lead (emma/cher) is setting up mr. elton with a friend. i guess by today's standards its forced but back then and in the 90s: not at all
Paul Rudd in Clueless is the best thing that happened to me ✨
It was driving me nuts the whole time but, did you guys not recognize that Tai was the late Brittany Murphy ? R.I.P. She died at the young ass age of 32. Sad...
Fun Fact:
Amy Heckerling who directed and produced Clueless also did Fast Times At Ridgemont High, another classic with TONS of
Cameos of “oh! isn’t that ?“ And “weren’t they in ?“ moments.
Yeah, we actually did talk about it but I cut it because it was kind of just me explaining it to Stef and it was a long and depressing section that I couldn’t shorten and still have it make sense.
No shit? I love Fast Times haha, such a classic - Sam
My fifth grade teacher invited us to to her wedding. We all loved her and it was a really great time lol.
The helicopter is a reference to what they said earlier in the movie about all parties in the valley getting shut down by the police. In LA, where the traffic is terrible, police helicopters are relatively common. So as she was talking on the phone, a police helicopter arrived at the party to shut it down.
Great commentary guys! I laughed a lot 😂
Thanks so much Sophie! Glad you liked our take on it 😁🙏
“Oh FUCK OFF, Suspenders!”
🤣 😭 😂
Glad you liked that one my guy 😆🙏
I love this movie!! Was one of my favourites growing up. Great review! You guys are so funny 😂
Thank you so much! Such a classic movie aye 😁🙏
Loved this so much!! Can't wait for more reactions! You guys are so much fun, I love your sense of humor :D
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that! Forgotten kids movie, The Pagemaster, is up next 😋🙏
@@themoviebud1988 So cool! Can't wait to watch!! :)
Isabel Noyer I just realised the accidental lie there cause we filmed that movie but didn’t actually put it out 😂 thanks for your support tho dude 😋
@@themoviebud1988 ohh I see, thanks for letting me know! :D
Great reaction guys ! Love this film. Some school scenes were filmed in my highschool. As for the terms they use ... it’s not weird for us Californians 😂 Can you guys react to mean girls ? Also a classic !
Very much appreciated, thank you! That’s so cool! Really? I guess slang terms really do differ a lot in different places 😂 yes, absolutely we’re doing mean girls. Probably in a few videos 😋🙏
found one of your videos and am now binge-watching because you’re awesome 😃 this is one of my all-time favorite films, and i agree with you guys on pretty much everything except your take on poor Travis. he’s totally not a douchebag 🥺 he’s actually my favorite character because i love his completely chill vibe.
side note: he was written to be the heir of the Birkenstock family, but they didn’t emphasize it, just threw in the mention of his last name and the laid-back hippie vibe and let people figure it out for themselves. it was a couple of years after it came out i think that they mentioned he was in an interview.
Love this movie! Donald Faison is the best haha
It's true, he really is 👌
My fav thing abt this vid is how angry you guys were about the plain chicken sandwich hahaha
12:40 The helicopter is an LA thing/US city thing. The local news (moreso back then, but still now) will just send out helicopters to film while cops bust parties, raid houses, etc.
I love how long these videos are
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback 😊 - Stef
Love this movie. You say she’s so smart but so not. Almost… clueless. Great adaptation of Emma.
Guy with the hat. I live at the end of the world. But i think you're my soulmate
That's really nice, I appreciate that so much! 😊 - Sam
@@themoviebud1988 They called you, 'guy with the hat.' 😶
I know that Cher and Paul Rudd didn't consider each other siblings and all, and their parents are divorced, but like it's still weird to me idk. This movie would be god tier without that imo
I hear you. It just kind of feels off regardless of what they say - Sam
Thier parents were only together for like one year when she was 10.
2:35 incorrect. The writer/director largely made up her own slang which became actual slang irl.
I was a 90s pre-teen in the Midwest (y2k class) and we did indeed say groovy.
23:50 well, as they say in German: "Was sich liebt, das neckt sich”" - those who love each other are teasing each other
Lol, you guys actually seem super 90s! Very cool 😎
Why thank you 😄 - Stef
clueless is just mean girls but in reginas perspective
Kinda except Cher was actually nice the whole time.
The party scene reminds me, yall REALLY need to check out Get Over It
Looks like fun. I'll put it on the list 😊 - Stef
She says "Groovy" cause she is talking to her mom. Cher would have been born in 78 or 79 which would mean her mom was probably in her teen years in the 70s
The reason why this movie is so overlooked today is because now almost everyone is clueless. She's not dumb, she's clueless, but now that concept is lost. This movie is brilliant because it's a simple idea done so well: teens being clueless, in everything they say and do. Judging it as if it's serious, is also a very clueless thing to do, which is my point 😋
Also "step-siblings" is not a thing. Brothers can be either siblings (at least one common parent, thus blood-related) or step-brothers (not related). It creeps me out to hear people say that...
the bread and chicken is a southern thing all he was missing was some hot sauce
I lived in L.A. in the 80's and I remember news helicopters around all the time
Huh I never realised before that this is a modern take on Emma.
I just realized that them saying “Hey bud” is saying hello to us. My dumbass thought they were saying it to each other 😂🙄
I cam believe i just realized this is like the modern remake of Emma😂
Yeah, I love when they do modern adaptations of classic stories 😄 - Stef
As someone who grew up in the valley, the helicopter was there because that's what happens to all house parties in the valley. The cops have decided that this party is over.
12:37 guys welcome to The Valley! That would be the San Fernando Valley to be precise and the helicopters are _always_ like that.
The Circus Liquor is really in the SFV on the corner of Vineland and Burbank.
I was confused when I first watched this movie, UNTIL I heard it was like a modern version of Jane Austin’s book Emma. Which is about a young girl who likes to match make.
I mean I know she got with Josh...but has anybody else noticed she was REALLY into Tai the whole time?
Honestly, her interest seemed very much from a mentoring perspective to me, but maybe that’s just how I see it based on my own personality traits 🤷♂️ - Sam
@@themoviebud1988 it clicked with me when Cher tried to interject into a conversation Tai was having without her...I just really feel she misdirected her conclusion when she got jealous that Josh and Tai might into each other
@@reevesavage it seems like she was enamored by Tais presence from a completely platonic point of view
what I do not like is that I feel that everyone is looking for gay or lesbian "love" stories where there are none
@@justlive2809 aww cry about it
You need to do “Blast From The Past”
Oh I remember seeing that when I was heaps young. We'll put it on the list for sure 😁 - Stef
The Movie Budz - Awesome
Sam saying 'not that I was getting a girlfriend in high school anyway' gives me vibes of the 'ugly' girl who is cast as someone super pretty (Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality, Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries, Rachael Leigh Cook in She's All That, etc.). I mean obviously it's in the past and I don't know what happened but come on, girls really be passing these two by? Tragic world
The guy that robbed her is more of a gentleman because he didn't sexually assault her and put her in a dangerous situation, also he was polite enough to say thank you.
love this movie wacthed it couple months ago i loved it
It’s such a classic aye 👌
This is a late comment, but frankly I’m shocked no one mentioned Road Trip. It’s raunchy in a ridiculous way, but it’s fun to laugh at, and I think you guys would enjoy it just for the sheer entertainment value of seeing Stef’s doppelgänger a third time. 😂
I mean, we'll probably eventually do every movie with Breckin Meyer in it, so this one's on the list. But, there's also quite a few movies ahead of it currently. Good choice, tho. I remember seeing it around when it came out 😊 - Sam
@@themoviebud1988 Oh no rush at all, and I don't even care if you do it for the channel (though of course I'd enjoy your reaction if you did). It's not a favorite by any means, I just love the Breckin Meyer theme that was happening. :P
15:40 don't worry Sam, the hat seems just right on you, specifically (not so much on other men though 😅)
"All the students are there?" "i wouldnt be invited to a teachers wedding" well, maybe when you have so many super rich students?
Clueless was a 90s version of Emma. Someone spends too much time thinking (superficially) of others’ and meddling in their lives that she oblivious to her life, her problems, her love life. Not until she really pays attention to others that she begins to change and see that these superficial projections are insecurities she sees in herself. I think that it’s a classic because it was able to translate the themes of Emma in a more contemporary setting, well, the 90s without veering too into the expected cringe and formulaic recipe of the typical rom-com vehicle. It wasn’t too deep, too superficial, but had charm, wit, characters, and it’s accessible.
The movie clueless is based off the Book Emma written by Jane Austen. The Director always loved the book and wanted to make a modern film with it.
"I don't like that." Same bro..... Same 🥴
She said "groovy" to her mom because that's what SHE would've thought was cool during her time.
The thing is this story is based off Emma by Jane Austen and it really shows how beautiful the story is even in 1995, and this story could be told today and it still would be perfect
I love the comment about the helicopter in not sure where you guys are from but it’s stigmatized that in medium to low income neighborhoods you always hear helicopters because the police are always looking for a suspect on the run 😂
We're from Sydney, Australia. I've heard police choppers around here as well, just never flying so low or with the spotlight on. Legit thought Cher was about to be arrested or something 😂
@@themoviebud1988 I forgot to include that I’m from Cali and that’s where it’s stigmatized a lot.
Can't trust anyone who will eat a dry sandwich. No way.. murderer 1000%. There's no other possible explanation 😂
aaaay, i just started watching you guys recently & now i’m going thru ur whole recents list… so psyched ya’ll did Clueless ✨
