Clueless movie commentary
Part three in our little 90's teen movie trilogy and it's time to watch Clueless! This movie commentary and reaction is one we've been wanting to do for a little while because even though it has some problems, it's still such a great film! Hope you enjoy this one and subscribe for more movie commentary and reaction videos!

No copyright strike! Maybe we have the formula now haha
Lol i understand EXACTLY what you mean.. Gotta love it when you have no copyright issues
I know! There’s criticism, there’s commentary and it’s transformative. That’s absolutely what qualifies as fair use lol
I was 6 in '95....I can't believe I saw this in theaters (twice) when it released. My mom was very young as well and raising two girls by herself (we didn't understand any of the innuendos at the time of course). I just remember my sister and myself loving it and wanting to watch it again...now at 32, I still love it. Haha.
He's also in The Craft... could you do The Craft?
Y'all need to do "Wayne's World" 😆
Cher and Josh were step siblings for about a year when she was 10 and he was 12 or 13. Her dad just took him under his wing.
Yeah, that definitely makes it way less weird. Wish I had picked up on that detail sooner 😂
Yes! One of the best lines in the movie, said by Cher's father: "You divorce spouses, not kids."
Still weird. Cuz they've been like siblings SINCE then
@@sharpaycutie2 They are not siblings. He is just like her dad's apprentice since he wants to become a lawyer.
@@sharpaycutie2 It's very different when you're 10 or 12, than say 5.
dion's boyfriend is the same guy who sings in the acapella group of old guys in pitch perfect
Yeah, Donald Faison comes up a few times in the movies we've done 😅 Me and Sam know him mainly from Scrubs though 😁 - Stef
Omg what????
You mean Turk 😂
He was also in another movie with Britney Murphy called Uptown Girls.
He will forever be Turk 🤣
Cher was never really that snobbish. She was selfish but always decent. She became more self aware by the end of the movie.
Fair enough. Gotta love a good character arc 😊 - Stef
I love that Cher isn’t the stereotypical mean girl. She has her selfish moments but she grows so much throughout the movie and is never actually mean to anyone.
Yeah, I don't think she's a snob. Sure, she's blissfully unaware of her wealth and privilege. But you get the sense she doesn't see herself as better than others generally. She's a little dismissive of the skateboarder dude at first... but then he is the dude known for skipping school and smoking pot all day haha Generally she's a decent person.
Exactly. Her crime is is being oblivious, but she's also kind and generous
That's what gives this movie it's charm really. She's not vindictive, like say Regina George is, and is actually well meaning in a lot of her things. And when something mean happens it's blatantly shown to be so, like when Tai calls Cher "a virgin who can not drive" which was CLEARLY a mean verbal slap.
I rlly appreciate the fact that your commentaries on movies with a female lead never come across misogynistic like a lot of other commentators 🥰💜
Thanks, we really appreciate your feedback 😋 - Sam
Saaame. Sometimes they're defending the honour of the female characters more than I am as a chick. Whereas there are too many male commentators who just aren't fun to watch at all. They either spend way too much time creepily lusting after female characters, take their "manhood" too seriously to enjoy a chick flick... Or worst of all.. they're just completely dismissive of female characters in general. I think male MCU commentators/podcasters are the worst. Most of them practically drool when talking about the male characters but treat the female characters either like eye candy or second-rate side characters no one cares about. And a lot of them are blatantly sexist too. Never found a single one I liked at all or who actually respected the female characters.
@@TheTardisDreamer THIS! I couldn’t have said it better myself I completely agree sugar
@@TheTardisDreamer I will side eye anyone who hates Black Widow but is OBSESSED with Ironman, and this is coming from a comic book fan.
@@esthermeakin3701 It's so disappointing :( Makes me want to start my own channel just to geek out over female characters and their storylines properly. All female fans and male fans that care about female characters being welcome.
a lot of the teen slang in the movie was actually made up by the writers. This movie is the reason why people began to say things like "as if"
The movie is based on the classic novel Emma by Jane Austen. In that the main character ends up with her sister's husband's brother who has known her since she was a baby and is 16 years older than her (shes 21 and he's 37).
I had no idea this was actually a classic adaptation! I’m glad they adjusted the age gap a fair bit 😂 thanks for the knowledge 😋🙏
@@Prince_the_One good, I’m not gonna get a chance to read the book any time soon so I feel better about that 😂 - sam
@@themoviebudz1988 There's the new movie, the Gwenyth Paltrow movie, the TV movie from the same year and about 2 tv series if you're interested in seeing the original. If you're looking for another remake there's the webshow 'Emma Approved', pretty close to being on the same level as 'Clueless'.
@@themoviebudz1988 Might be fun to do a reaction to Emma and see how they compare. The Gwyneth Paltrow version (95?) is my favorite, though I haven't seen the 2020 version.
@@jennv2948 I’m biased to the new version because I love the actress but I like the Gwyneth version too
Lol! We didn’t say “groovy” in CA in the ‘90s. Cher says it to use terminology from her mom’s time, because her mom died when Cher was a baby (probably in the late ‘70s). And Cher was right about valet. I didn’t have to parallel park during my driving test, because it was deemed unnecessary. Which, when I moved out of the area, turned into a pain to have to learn.
So she talks that way to feel closer to her mum? Aww that's actually really sweet 😭 The valet thing is so crazy, although I don't have a license so I guess I can't judge 😅 - Stef
Some people did. My guy did and still does now. Lol! There were times when it was cool to be retro.
I live in L.A. and parallel park all the time
That's the best argument I've ever heard to move to California! I hate parallel parking.
I think the media portrayed teens say it much more that actual teens did. It's not competently accurate, but reasonable for a movie teen to say.
i like that a lot of this movie is just cher learning to be a better person. definitely my favorite 90s movie
Yeah, movies with legit character development are always the best ones imo. I can see why it's so widely loved 😋 - Stef
Paul Rudd was actually mugged during the filming of clueless and was even shot at but luckily it went through his hair so he wasn’t harmed
what-
my first time hearing about this damn
REST IN PEACE to the beautiful Brittany Murphy ! She was in a lot of these classics and I remember this being her first breakthrough. I actually liked her a lot in clueless.
Yeah, she was a talented young actor. It was sad when she passed away - Sam
She was amazing in Uptown Girls with Dakota Fanning and Girl Interrupted. She deserved a lot more leading roles than she got.
Loved her ever since I first saw this as a kid as well as when she was on Sister Sister. Her movies were some of my favorites growing up.
Helicopters are ALWAYS flying overhead in LA! Especially if you're in a sketchy area.
Yeah, I actually did wonder if it was just a normal LA thing haha. Thanks for clarifying!
Yeah no one likes it 🙈
Cher (like Emma in the novel) is basically super sheltered and naive. Here it's mostly because she's a privileged teen, as in the novel, but you can add a very protective father in the book as well. In the 2007 (maybe 2008?) mini series they leaned into it very hard, but it's there in the text as well, that Emma's father basically kept his daughters near him out of fear that they'd die or get ill. Which keeps Emma very ignorant of what's actually going on. In the background you can often see students walking around with plasters on their noses as if they'd just had a nose job. :D
Oh yeah that makes more sense. That's hilarious, I totally missed that the first time 😂 - Stef
When I was younger, I just thought they were putting on nose strips for blackheads 🤣
the scene with lucy is just extra funny to me because for some reason mexicans and salvadorans have, like, actual beef (i seriously don’t know why, but i’m mexican on my mom’s side and salvi on my dad’s and my families stay making jokes about it) so part of me feels like not only was lucy offended to be called by the wrong nationality, but to be called a mexican of all things 😭
Well lmao to me it sounds similar to Greeks and Turks (I'm half Greek lol)
That's really cool.
Pretty sure the party Cher and Christian go to was supposed to be Josh's friends. That's why it's not weird that he goes to it.
Ah, that makes a bit more sense - Stef
Clueless is a modern take take on Jane Austen's book "Emma". Seriously. People write papers on this and compare the two.
No wonder it’s so widely well regarded 😋
I wrote a paper on this movie while getting my bachelor in library science back in 2004. We compared it both to the original novel and the more traditional adaptation with Gwyneth Paltrow that came out just a few months after Clueless. Our professor was not thrilled having to see the movies or read the book (again). But he took it like a pro.
“How is she not getting it. How is she oblivious”....I mean the title is called Clueless.
its a culture thing. police helocopters are always flying over L.A. so much so they call them ghetto pigeons, so its there for authenticity
Literally she never puts her friend down, she explained vocabulary to her with no judgment... think about that
It's a hilarious case of the blind leading the blind.
Lol she wasn’t easily impressed, she was high as a kite lmao
Probs aye 😂 - Stef
Btw the party they went to with Christian wasn't a high school party, Cher mentions that some of her 'ex-stepbrothers friends' are having a party so I'm guessing Josh was actually invited and it was a college party that some of the kids from the high school just tagged along to
This is LA. There’s literally ALWAYS a helicopter. It was very incredibly true to form having that helicopter in the background.
No teenage girls in America didn't live like this in the 90s unless they were a Hilton.
Boss soundtrack? ✔ Outfits to die for? ✔ Awesome commentary? ✔ Also that Steph comparison was dead on hahaha
Yes, yes and yes! Thanks so much! Now I’m looking for more Breckin Meyer movies to keep the comparisons alive 😂
the thing is when we first see paul rudd in this movie her dad and his mom aren't even together anymore so they aren't even step siblings people are just freaked out they were :P
Yeah, it took me awhile to realise that haha - Sam
Think you guys should do legally blonde if you haven’t
You are correct. We should and we will 😊 - Sam
@@themoviebudz1988 YESS!!!!
there's also a musical for leagally blonde if you're into that it's on youtube
YES PRINCESS BRIDE!!!
Good, we were gonna do it even if no one wanted us to 😂🙏
@@themoviebudz1988 I cant wait!
Bailey filming it tonight. It’ll go up after mean girls, hopefully this week (fingers crossed) 😋
@@themoviebudz1988 Yesssss! I'm so excited lol. I'll be watching for it
YES!!!!💜
putting chicken and nothing else on a sandwich = skin collector 🤪🤚🏻
Yeah, I got detention multiple times for pointing out that my High school form tutor had a group of girls that she really favoured and was kind of harsh with everyone else by comparison. She denied it for the whole five years but then she invited them to her wedding the year after we left school, it was actually really weird .
the puns are an A++ for me every time, top tier humor
Glad you like them 😋 - Stef
In the original material (Emma by Jane Austen) they weren’t step siblings. Her sister was married to his brother.
Which was definitely a better choice than this one - Sam
NO , It's worse. In the book, she's 20 and he's 37, and specifically talks about holding her as a baby. He's much much more involved in her day-to-day life in the book, and admits to being in love with her since she was like 12. The relationship in Clueless is wholesome comparatively.
I don't think I have ever heard such a strong opinion about sandwiches lol
I'm Italian. We have strong feelings about these things 😆 - Stef
Joey and Ross on Friends?
@@MrParkerman6 you mean as examples of ppl with the same sandwich love as Stef? - Sam
@@MrParkerman6 that's true. Joey loved him a sandwich. And Ross went mental (literally) over his MoistMaker being eaten at work. But Joey would eat a sandwich if he found it on the ground and wouldn't care about the composotion of it And Ross just had a thing for that one specific one. So idk🤷
Yeah I thought that was weird too. I love turkey sandwiches
No one spoke like this in the 90's lol. People started saying a lot of the stuff after this movie came out.
I still love the theory of this movie that Cher is a lesbian, and the reason that she convinces herself she loves Josh is bc she's jealous of him and Tai but she's actually in love with Tai and just can't process it correctly.
Never heard that one but I kind of love it. I vote that instead of cash grab reboots, we need remakes of classic teen movies but with gay romantic storylines 😄 - Stef
@@themoviebudz1988 I second that motion! To any Federal agents/ Hollywood people monitoring KZhead comment sections for story ideas, get on this. Immediately. You can still social distance. Just have the entire cast on a Zoom call and FaceTime.
@@themoviebudz1988 honestly Hollywood would probably ruin it.
@@themoviebudz1988 They kind of did that with the Roswell reboot! Definitely wish they'd do it more often, though.
@@petrastedman669 Agreed 😅
the Stef/Breckin Meyer comparison is amazing lol
Stef secretly IS Breckin Meyer... 🤫
There's actually an app that does outfit matches but you have to take pictures of all your clothes to make it work 1:24
Oooh, might give it a look - Stef
What's it called??
Also, I realize the whole used to be step siblings part may seem weird but this was based of Jane Austen’s Emma. And I that Mr Knightley is the brother of Emma’s sister husband. So they still wanted to keep the kind of brother relationship.
Cult-classic "Clueless" (1995) is a modern retelling of a Jane Austen novel. "Clueless" is loosely based on Jane Austen's 1815 novel, "Emma." ~Wikipedia
That's right! Someone even suggested we do the film adaptations of Emma to compare 😁 - Stef
15:27 Steph's side eye to the camera when his friend was confused about being half a virgin... He knows how that goes down. ahhahahahaa I see you. #gayfriendstrugles
At 8:48 dude on the left makes the most real and accurate observation I've ever heard in a reaction video. Keep it up.
About his board? Yeah, haha. It always bugs me in movies and shows how they get stuff like skating and music sooooo wrong lol. Thanks my guy 😊🙏
This is based on the book Emma by Jane Austen. A classic English masterpiece. If you watch Emma with Gwenyth Paltrow you will see the similarities and reasons for some of the different choices she makes. This 90s version is now also a classic 🥰
LOL Fifty years old and I called my daddy Daddy until he passed away three years ago. 😄
Paul Rudd in Clueless is the best thing that happened to me ✨
i must admit your guys' reaction is iconic
Cheers my dude 😊 - Stef
I just found this Channel and I’m obsessed with your reactions 😂
Thanks so much! Glad you found us 😁 - Stef
Helicopters are super common/normal in LA and many other areas in Cali.
Man that seems so weird to me. You only get that in Sydney when there's a big event on... or the cops are chasing somebody 😂 - Stef
Hell, I’m in Tucson, AZ & it occurs here at least a few times a week.
This was one of the best adaptations of Jane Austen's Emma ever. Fun, nostalgic, quotable as hell. Also, I forgot I'd watched your Batman & Robin review (which was great, btw) and you missed the line about Poison Ivy having 'great stems and buds' which was a reference to this movie. Because Alicia Silverstone. And to this day, Josh making a 'sandwich' out of nothing but mayo and turkey between 2 thick slices of bread bugs the crap out of me. This is a rich house, dude. They have produce. Avail yourself of it. At least put some Mrs Dash on that sucker. It's naked! Random fact: I was in choir in high school and whenever we went out after concerts, we would chill at the local diner around a giant table and play suck & blow with a student ID to show off our impressive breath control.
You should do "Cruel Intentions". It's a teen movie that features real step-sibling flirting. Other than that it's really good.
That's another classic novel adaptation too!
"AAAAAUGH! The FREEWAAAAY!!!" One of the most relatable feelings in driving EVER! XD
One of my favorite movies... Stumbled across your channel... You two are ridiculous 😃
Yes! That’s what we wanna hear! Thanks dude 😁🙏
This movie is so ICONIC CLASSIC. It's one of my GO TO MOVIES since 95 ... I love it.. I was 12 in 95 so this was the ultimate teen movie in my era.. I basically grew up with this movie:)
as for why she is forcing it: its based on emma in which she the lead (emma/cher) is setting up mr. elton with a friend. i guess by today's standards its forced but back then and in the 90s: not at all
12:40 The helicopter is an LA thing/US city thing. The local news (moreso back then, but still now) will just send out helicopters to film while cops bust parties, raid houses, etc.
The helicopter is a reference to what they said earlier in the movie about all parties in the valley getting shut down by the police. In LA, where the traffic is terrible, police helicopters are relatively common. So as she was talking on the phone, a police helicopter arrived at the party to shut it down.
2:35 incorrect. The writer/director largely made up her own slang which became actual slang irl.
Great commentary guys! I laughed a lot 😂
Thanks so much Sophie! Glad you liked our take on it 😁🙏
“Oh FUCK OFF, Suspenders!” 🤣 😭 😂
Glad you liked that one my guy 😆🙏
aaaay, i just started watching you guys recently & now i’m going thru ur whole recents list… so psyched ya’ll did Clueless ✨
Loved all the puns you both made 😂😂
Thanks bud 😆 - Stef
I love how long these videos are
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback 😊 - Stef
It was driving me nuts the whole time but, did you guys not recognize that Tai was the late Brittany Murphy ? R.I.P. She died at the young ass age of 32. Sad... Fun Fact: Amy Heckerling who directed and produced Clueless also did Fast Times At Ridgemont High, another classic with TONS of Cameos of “oh! isn’t that ?“ And “weren’t they in ?“ moments.
Yeah, we actually did talk about it but I cut it because it was kind of just me explaining it to Stef and it was a long and depressing section that I couldn’t shorten and still have it make sense. No shit? I love Fast Times haha, such a classic - Sam
found one of your videos and am now binge-watching because you’re awesome 😃 this is one of my all-time favorite films, and i agree with you guys on pretty much everything except your take on poor Travis. he’s totally not a douchebag 🥺 he’s actually my favorite character because i love his completely chill vibe. side note: he was written to be the heir of the Birkenstock family, but they didn’t emphasize it, just threw in the mention of his last name and the laid-back hippie vibe and let people figure it out for themselves. it was a couple of years after it came out i think that they mentioned he was in an interview.
Huh I never realised before that this is a modern take on Emma.
My fifth grade teacher invited us to to her wedding. We all loved her and it was a really great time lol.
Guy with the hat. I live at the end of the world. But i think you're my soulmate
That's really nice, I appreciate that so much! 😊 - Sam
@@themoviebudz1988 They called you, 'guy with the hat.' 😶
The guy that robbed her is more of a gentleman because he didn't sexually assault her and put her in a dangerous situation, also he was polite enough to say thank you.
She says "Groovy" cause she is talking to her mom. Cher would have been born in 78 or 79 which would mean her mom was probably in her teen years in the 70s
Sam saying 'not that I was getting a girlfriend in high school anyway' gives me vibes of the 'ugly' girl who is cast as someone super pretty (Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality, Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries, Rachael Leigh Cook in She's All That, etc.). I mean obviously it's in the past and I don't know what happened but come on, girls really be passing these two by? Tragic world
Love this movie! Donald Faison is the best haha
It's true, he really is 👌
I love this movie!! Was one of my favourites growing up. Great review! You guys are so funny 😂
Thank you so much! Such a classic movie aye 😁🙏
23:50 well, as they say in German: "Was sich liebt, das neckt sich”" - those who love each other are teasing each other
I love this so much hahaha you guys are awesome
I know that Cher and Paul Rudd didn't consider each other siblings and all, and their parents are divorced, but like it's still weird to me idk. This movie would be god tier without that imo
I hear you. It just kind of feels off regardless of what they say - Sam
Thier parents were only together for like one year when she was 10.
Loved this so much!! Can't wait for more reactions! You guys are so much fun, I love your sense of humor :D
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that! Forgotten kids movie, The Pagemaster, is up next 😋🙏
@@themoviebudz1988 So cool! Can't wait to watch!! :)
Isabel Noyer I just realised the accidental lie there cause we filmed that movie but didn’t actually put it out 😂 thanks for your support tho dude 😋
@@themoviebudz1988 ohh I see, thanks for letting me know! :D
My fav thing abt this vid is how angry you guys were about the plain chicken sandwich hahaha
clueless is just mean girls but in reginas perspective
Kinda except Cher was actually nice the whole time.
She said "groovy" to her mom because that's what SHE would've thought was cool during her time.
Great reaction guys ! Love this film. Some school scenes were filmed in my highschool. As for the terms they use ... it’s not weird for us Californians 😂 Can you guys react to mean girls ? Also a classic !
Very much appreciated, thank you! That’s so cool! Really? I guess slang terms really do differ a lot in different places 😂 yes, absolutely we’re doing mean girls. Probably in a few videos 😋🙏
I was a 90s pre-teen in the Midwest (y2k class) and we did indeed say groovy.
love this movie wacthed it couple months ago i loved it
It’s such a classic aye 👌
You need to do “Blast From The Past”
Oh I remember seeing that when I was heaps young. We'll put it on the list for sure 😁 - Stef
The Movie Budz - Awesome
I just realized that them saying “Hey bud” is saying hello to us. My dumbass thought they were saying it to each other 😂🙄
12:37 guys welcome to The Valley! That would be the San Fernando Valley to be precise and the helicopters are _always_ like that. The Circus Liquor is really in the SFV on the corner of Vineland and Burbank.
Love the dad jokes lol
the bread and chicken is a southern thing all he was missing was some hot sauce
Why are they taking so many shots at my man Paul Rudd💀😭
I cam believe i just realized this is like the modern remake of Emma😂
Yeah, I love when they do modern adaptations of classic stories 😄 - Stef
I lived in L.A. in the 80's and I remember news helicopters around all the time
"All the students are there?" "i wouldnt be invited to a teachers wedding" well, maybe when you have so many super rich students?
"I don't like that." Same bro..... Same 🥴
LOVEEE this movie 💜 thanks guys
Our pleasure ✌ - Stef
Cher and Josh are not related, her father was engaged to Josh's mother, but they broke up and divorced. Cher and Josh were born before this marriage, unrelated to each other. So I don't know why people keep thinking it's weird...
Yeah, I suppose it's really no different than the 'childhood friends to lovers' trope - Stef
The party scene reminds me, yall REALLY need to check out Get Over It
Looks like fun. I'll put it on the list 😊 - Stef
As someone who grew up in the valley, the helicopter was there because that's what happens to all house parties in the valley. The cops have decided that this party is over.
You got my name and you're entertaining. I'll most def be back. Looks like you're on a good run!
Thanks so much dude! Glad to have another Stef on board 😄 - Stef
i saw your comment on Cathrin Mannings video and decided to come by your channel. Liking your channel! #awesomecontent 💪🏻
That’s sick dude, we really appreciate you taking the time to check us out! 😁🙏
Lol, you guys actually seem super 90s! Very cool 😎
Why thank you 😄 - Stef
From the very first video I watched of you guys I was going to ask if your guitar part was from a Trivium song and now I come to this and see him wearing the shirt... I am a forever fan now and it also makes me so mad I missed the concert in my town last month...
The intro part isn’t Trivium, but I’ve been a fan of them since the first album. I related to Matt Heafy a lot, both being mixed Asian guys with thrash metal influences and roughly the same age. Thanks for the love! 😊 - Sam
I mean I know she got with Josh...but has anybody else noticed she was REALLY into Tai the whole time?
Honestly, her interest seemed very much from a mentoring perspective to me, but maybe that’s just how I see it based on my own personality traits 🤷♂️ - Sam
@@themoviebudz1988 it clicked with me when Cher tried to interject into a conversation Tai was having without her...I just really feel she misdirected her conclusion when she got jealous that Josh and Tai might into each other
