This movie was released at a time when teen comedies were a dime a dozen. And it's so strange to think that as I write this, it's 15 years old. Having discovered that Clueless was loosely based on the Jane Austen novel Emma (extremely loosely), I decided to give it another view. I hadn't seen it in so long, I thought I would be able to watch it with fresh and unbiased eyes. Here's the thing though, there just isn't a way to not enjoy this movie, or know half of the lines by heart, once you've already seen it once. It's just so much fun.

Dionne (Stacy Dash) and Murray's (Donald Faison) relationship is still both sweet and hilarious. Paul Rudd and Alicia Silverstone have great chemistry as well. Watching Thai transform from skater chick to popular girl can still make me smile, even when that popularity goes to her head. I know that Brittany Murphy has had tons of roles over the years, but this one will always be my favorite. Watching Cher transform from bubbly airhead to someone who actually cares about the world makes me smile too. The dialogue is so interesting to hear also. This movie practically has its own language. I know that slang changes each generation, but the phrases and terms found here are almost too good to be true.

So, maybe I'm biased after all. But, I think almost anyone can enjoy this movie. Yes, it is aimed at teenage girls, but it's funny enough for older audiences and guys to enjoy as well. It isn't exactly a masterpiece of cinematic genius, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't see it. Ten years after seeing it for the first time, I'm still giving it two thumbs up.
