What is the Clueless movie about?

Written and directed by Amy Heckerling (Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Look Who’s Talking), Clueless follows Cher Horowitz as she balances high school, friendships, and taking care of her over-worked father all while trying to improve the lives of the people around her. After taking new student Tai Frasier (Brittany Murphy) under her wing and giving her a makeover that changes her inside and out, Cher begins to see herself and her own life differently. Yeah, it’s, like, way existential. 

The film is based on Jane Austen’s Emma, with the story updated and set in 1990s Beverly Hills.
