Clueless is no 'Fast Times' when it comes to character development or the merging of comedy and drama, and it might have worked better if it had been more story-oriented and plot-centered. Jane Austen might never have imagined that her 1816 novel Emma could be turned into a fresh and satirical look at ultra-rich teenagers in a Beverly Hills high school. Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and Dionne (Stacey Dash), both named after 'great singers of the past that now do infomercials, ' are pampered upper-class girls who care less about getting good grades than wearing the right clothes.

Cher remakes Tai, the new kid who dresses wrong, talks wrong, does too many drugs, and has too much sex. Cher espouses her philosophy throughout, demonstrating that though she's smart, she also is ignorant. Despite her own cluelessness, Cher does some good. She matches two lonely teachers romantically. And she comes to admire her more serious, 'do-gooder' stepbrother, who influences her to question her selfishness and values. Characters quote Hamlet and Dickens and read books by Nietzsche and William Burroughs. Cher's father is extremely supportive and family-oriented though also brusque and rude.

He yells when her grades are low, then beams with pride when she uses her powers to persuade a teacher to improve her grade instead of doing the required schoolwork. Parents need to know that Clueless is a 1995 teen comedy in which plays a materialistic Beverly Hills teen who learns to understand what's really important in life. It's an oh-so-'90s retelling of Jane Austen's Emma, but amidst the 'as if!' Catchphrases and baggy clothing, there are some mixed messages about teen sex, underage drinking and drug use, and materialism. There's occasional mild profanity, but also use of the word 'retard' in a pejorative way, as well as calling the grunge-skater clique 'loadies.'

Some sexual innuendo: Talk of crooked penises, and double entendre over the word 'balls.' A goatee is called 'chin pubes.'

A teen is shown vomiting in a pool after drinking heavily. One of the 'loadie' students is shown donating his bong to charity. A student walks to the window of the classroom as if he's going to jump out.

There's also frequent consumerism: product placement of Mentos, Starbucks, and McDonald's, as well as a steady reference from Silverstone's character to the stores she likes at the mall and the fashion brands she likes best. This movie is loosely based on Jane Austen's, and it does an excellent job of transferring the story to a contemporary context. It doesn't feel dated - the direction is bright and fresh, and the performances are uniformly excellent.

Silverstone is particularly good, managing to be charming, ditsy, and annoying all at once, and it's clear why this movie made her a star.This film isn't appropriate for young kids - it contains drinking, drug use, and implied sex - but teens will love it. And it might even get them to read some Jane Austen.Families can talk about Clueless' continued appeal. Is it still relevant? What makes it a classic for teens?.How is Cher less than honest with herself about her motivations for her 'good deeds'? What other choices could she have made?.Tai also is a character who is less than true to herself, and she pays a price. Was what she went through worth it?.Families also might want to look at Jane Austen's novel and see how this adaptation reflects the original.How do the characters in Clueless demonstrate, and? Why are those important?
