1. Quality

2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   Cute but dated Beverly Hills high school spoof from the mid-90s. Stars Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd provide plenty of charm, but the of-the-moment slang hasn’t aged well.

4. Acting

   Very Good 3.5

   Clueless made Alicia Silverstone a star, not long after which she kinda sank without a trace. Paul Rudd, OTOH, is a major talent now getting regular play in Judd Apatow’s movies (Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin, etc.).

5. Male Stars Very Good 3.5

6. Female Stars Very Good 3.5

7. Female Costars Very Good 3.5

8. Male Costars Very Good 3.5

10. Film

    OK 2.5

    While Clueless was a big hit for writer-director Amy Heckerling, it hasn’t become the classic that her Fast Times at Ridgemont High has.
