Review of Clueless

Clueless, one of the greatest 90's high-school movies, is unlike the other high-school movies, previous and the ones that followed. Instead of characters whom you love to hate and parents who very well could be made out of cardboards, the Clueless world offers something more realistic and a central character who you can love and love over. It also boasts an impressive cast, with Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Brittany Murphy and Stacy Dash being the best, and offers a-lot of Valley-Girl talk.

I've observed that in high-school movies the one thing that matters the most is chemistry between the cast, then dedication to their respective characters and then everything else follows. Clueless successfully achieved the first two points and because of that, solidified itself as one of the greatest high-school movies and became the highest point of the cast, at least for some. Seriously, the chemistry is impeccable and everyone breathes, eats and talks accordingly. I could go on you know!

Alicia Silverstone has done an impressive, perfect job, so perfect that it's almost a shame because people somehow always remember her from Batman & Robin and therefore are put off by her. Alicia's break-through performance deserves to be seen. I do wish to call her the new Molly Ringwald but I'm afraid that tiara is on Lindsay Lohan's head, for the 21st Century.

Anyway, a fun movie, not may be a classic in your eyes but in its genre it surely is. And how can it not be? After all, this is the woman who gave us Fast Times at Ridgemont High!
