Wick's Review

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.

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.).

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.

Edge - Tame 1.3

Reality - Glib 1.2

  Fair enough, AMC. I stumbled on Clueless on some cable channel after not having seen it for a decade, and I did enjoy it in a pop, bubble-gum way. Fast Times it ain’t, though.
