▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Clueless (1995) - Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school's pecking scale. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give hopelessly klutzy new student Tai a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother was right about how misguided she was -- and falls for him.

To clarify, this movie is a loose modern adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. The love interest in that book is Emma's brother in law. He is also about 20 years older than her and has known her since she was a child. So, the source material is definitely creepy by modern standards. I've always assumed that the marriage between their parents was very brief, so maybe he was her step brother for like, six months, five or more years ago. The age gap is actually more concerning to me, but I was willing to suspend my disbelief. My age would have been in the couple of years between the two characters when the movie was released and I don't remember finding it problematic. (Although I think I may have felt differently if I encountered the situation in real life).

[@NoelleMar]

Yeah, if I had watched it for the first time when I was older and / or didn’t know it was an adaptation of Emma, I would have been more weirded out lol. At the time, I was thinking it was a funny version of the usual age gaps / familial relations in Jane Austen (cousins, sometimes 10-20 years, etc). I don’t even know how much I would say this is a “loose” adaptation considering it has some hilarious versions of specific lines in book, amongst other things.

[@annabelledrake2027]

i’m pretty sure they say in the movie that the parents were married for 2 years

[@realSimoneCherie]

Random sorry but I met Alicia Silverstone when I was a server at a fine dining restaurant and she was incredibly kind. (Most customers didn’t even make eye contact coming in and she was sure to greet every host and staff member she saw) Maybe 15 mins later I was still having an internal monologue about it near the host stand and felt a tap on my shoulder and it was he. She said some words and I think asked me something but she was standing SUPER close to my face - like close enough I doubt anyone nearby could hear and my mind went blank. I remember her smiling and thanking me and she seemed to be satisfied so I hope I made sense but I was truly embarrassingly star struck for the first time.

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

This is an awesome story. Glad you shared it. I’ve met quite the few famous people working in the hospitality industry as well. Some good, some bad. Was this recently?

[@darkwitnesslxx]

My mother has been married 4-times. I have ex step-sisters I have never met. There is no evidence that they were ever siblings. Josh doesn't live there, he's interning with Cher's dad who has a home office.

[@alharairah2214]

I can see how "Josh" and "Cher" are an odd way of adapting "Knightly" and "Emma" pseudo-family ties. In Jane Austen's *Emma*, Knightly's brother is married to Emma's older sister. Another Jane Austen adaptation is "Bridget Jones's Diary", which is based on *Pride and Prejudice*.

[@larissab.2073]

It's not strange that they're dating because "oh they're brothers" because they're NOT BROTHERS. 😂 It's funny that they said that 4 times in the movie and you had to look it up to understand. And what's worse is that there are people who, even knowing that, still insist on this story about brothers. 😬 They must have lived in the same house for a few years. And they were old enough to understand that they weren't related by blood. They never saw each other as brothers.👍🏼 Josh even teases Cher when they're in the living room and she's combing her hair and Cher says "We're not brothers" (I think he said that just to test if she considered him a brother). And Cher says that Josh was Christian's half-brother, but I think it was to shorten the story between the two. 🤷🏽‍♀️ The only point that makes sense for some to find strange is the age difference. She's 16 and he's in college, but the difference isn't that big. Josh recently started college, he must be 18/19 years old. "Ah, but they have different levels of maturity", I agree. But I believe that Cher matures quickly, she has shown some evolution since the beginning of the film and, living with Josh, she will mature even more. But if you still wouldn't agree with a relationship like that because of the age difference... that's okay. Set your own rules for your children😊. In this story, I believe that Cher's father accepts and trusts Josh. The most important thing that Cher's father has to do (that any father should do when his minor/dependent child is dating) is to monitor the relationship. Period. Cher's father should always be updated on Josh's relationship with Cher (even though he trusts him a lot).

[@citydweller99]

The tardy/slacker dude that you think looks familiar... he was Jon A in the live action Garfield movies.

[@waterywingz]

And Road Trip? Rat Race. Uhhh Kate & Leopold. Uhhh that lawyers show w Zack Morris 😂

[@marklouis1890]

I enjoyed your reaction dude. Your voice is velvet smooth

[@sweetpotato363]

I loved clueless🕴 it was my favorite movie back in the day, but since I was a child I wasn't fully aware of the situation, now I can definitely catch the weirdness going around 😭

[@Justafox305]

That is weird now that you say it. Lol imagine him talking to his college friends.. yeah I’m dating my stepsister, she’s in 10th grade.

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Exactly. Well I guess “ex-stepsister” but again, it’s just like why

[@moramorandobianchi7093]

Yes! Amber was my favorite character from the tv show! Her character is definitely expanded but she remains a "frenemy" of the group, and she is genuinely funny! Christian is sadly not in the tv show (I wonder why...), and Travis and Tai are mostly in the background. At least the show does kind of ignore the whole Cher/Josh situation. like Cher dates other guys and Josh mostly behaves like a proper stepbrother lol

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

TV show? 👀 Does it feature the same cast? Lol “behaves like a proper stepbrother” as he should!! No Christian? Travis & Tai sidelined… ahhhh

[@sexypsycho21]

@@KOFI_ESCAPESyes i loved the tv show! The actress who plays Cher ( Alicia Silverstone) here did not play her in the tv show. The actress name was Rachel Blanchard but it was still good. Dionne, Murray, Sean, Amber , Mr. Hall, Ms Geist all reprised their roles

[@butterflypooo]

Ahhh, I sort of grew up on this movie. I think of it as a classic, and sneakily subversive. As far as Cher and Josh, they do bond and start flirting at one point. Regarding the stereotypes about gay men, this is a Hollywood film and it was the 90s. Unfortunate but that’s how it was. :/ It’s based on a Jane Austen novel, called Emma.

[@brandibastian4193]

to be fair someone born in April can be anywhere from a day older than someone born in may to almost 2 months depending on the time of the month XD but seriously the second i saw Tai show up i had her line in my head "you're just a virgin who can't drive"

[@NoelleMar]

I enjoy your thoughtful reactions! There was a specific reason for the writers to do what they did with Josh and Cher, directly related to the book Emma. Not saying you have to like it, but I hope you saw some of the later comments on this video since that was your main caveat. The movie’s take on Emma is quite brilliant and hilarious, from the class issues to specific scenes and even lines. Emma is a queen bee daddy’s girl as well, and Mr. Elton I believe recites poetry to her in an uncomfortable carriage ride (here he sings Cranberries lol), and “Thai” (Harriet) likes a Mr. Martin, a farmer I believe. XD

[@NoelleMar]

Oh the “romance” between Josh and Cher also has some references to the film Gigi which is even more problematic dear lord lolol

[@zachharris3040]

Technically they're ex step siblings. And I am assuming their parents weren't together for that long. The age thing is strange but I'm not sure what the age of consent is in California. So, ideally, by the end when they kiss hopefully Cher is 16 and Josh is a freshman in college, possibly 18 or 19. I mean, none of the actors in the movie look like they're high schoolers, so it's hard to tell if it's not clearly stated, like for Josh. But on a separate note, Clueless is loosely based on the classic Jane Austen novel Emma. I think the movie tries to parallel themes from the book with Cher and Josh's relationship acting as a stance against traditional relationships. Back in the time of Emma traditional relationships would be entered into in order to gain or maintain social value. So, in today's world or the world of the 90s when this movie came out, in order for cher's character to really go against normative standards, it sort of makes sense that she would fall for someone who society would judge her for liking.

[@marklouis1890]

I fuckin love this movie bro. Your bread is gorgeous

[@everausten]

Great reaction! Love this movie! 💛🌙🌟✨

[@teaburgess478]

Off topic but you have the most beautiful smile wow!

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Thank you. Very kind. 💛

[@analmf1210]

I know many weirds assumption, like men and shopping .It was the 90s. Thats all i can say about my generation. I men shopping specially colognes OMG! :) or even skin products.

[@reginafallangie2867]

The opposite of clueless would be, informed or enlightened. 😃

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Yes indeed lol

[@marklouis1890]

I love chair

[@dinkyrussell75]

So the reason Cher ends up with Josh is because in the book this was based off of (Emma), she ends up with her brother in law Tbf the movie mentions thier parents were BARELY married A LONG AGO and it seems like Cher hasn't seen Josh since then

[@cheebees]

lol, it's only okay if there are dragons and stuff then people are all for it. All other familiar love is ewww lol

[@NoelleMar]

No, but most adults find it strange, as they should lol. It’s not the biggest deal in the world here, but I’d prefer people err on the side of weirded out than not. I do “excuse it” as a funny reworking of Emma.

[@NoelleMar]

@@cheebeesare you responding to someone who deleted their message? Wonder where the dragons and familiar love comments are coming from lol

[@Justafox305]

You prob seen the Travis actor in movies Road trip or can’t hardly wait, Or the tv show Franklin and bash. -Alicia Silverstone / Cher joined TikTok and redid the skit with Christian in the red dress, but this time he kissed her. She was like finally got him! Lol

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Lol I love it. She was trying hard for Christian in that red dress 😂

[@darricksulfridge2574]

it 1 of my favorite movie 🎬.

[@regiatomaz937]

Cher e Josh são lindos juntos!

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Ellas son hermanos aunque

[@analmf1210]

whoever wrote that article, didn't watch the movie, or doesn't know what incest is. infuriating in the first one, worrying in the second one

[@waterywingz]

U r so cute in ur reactions xD

[@kelseymulgrew4019]

lol they aren’t step siblings anymore they’re parents married and then got a divorce but he got attached to the dad so he’s always there

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Yep I understood that. I was still just stuck on the siblings part especially since they took the romantic route

[@xXPixXx]

Since they're in high school and it's a good movie I can sort of hold off on judging the questionable age difference.........especially since I rewatched The Baby-Sitter's Club movie from '95 recently and....yeah :/ I feel like nearly anything is better than that so it's not really a fair comparison but 1995 was a wild year I guess

[@SoniaAlese]

It's not genetics, Paul Rudd has had things done to look young. Men in Hollywood are less talked about but they also get plastic surgery, have botox, fillers and laser treatments to stay looking young too

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Absolutely!

[@miss.g-shun-w]

I was 12 when this movie came out and it never even occurred to me that their relationship could be considered taboo....I guess you could say I was Clueless.

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Lol. Yea watching it from a present day lens hits different lol. Not the step-siblings lovers legacy

[@joce-in-stitches]

I always found the Cher/Josh thing weird too. I suppose the writers were trying to imply that their parents were married so short a time that feelings of familial bonds didn't have time to form? That he was more like a long-term house guest than her brother? I never really picked up on the age gap; for some reason I thought Cher was a senior, not a sophomore. Not sure if you know, this movie is a modern retelling of Jane Austin's book "Emma". If you are curious about the original story, there is a movie adaptation starring Gwyneth Paltrow. Another good modern retelling movie from this era is "10 Things I Hate About You", which is based on William Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew". If you haven't seen that one yet, I recommend it.

[@KOFI_ESCAPES]

Yes, I watched and enjoyed 10 Things I Hate About You. It’s on the channel. Interesting how they retell classic older stories through the high school lens.

[@russellward4624]

TBF at that time age difference wasn't really thought about. I graduated in 1990 and I had a couple friends that had boyfriends over 21 when they were sophomores. It definitely was way more popular a concept before the 80s. It was pretty "normal" for girls to date older guys.

[@NoelleMar]

In the book Emma, she and Knightley knew each other for a long time and had a 20 year age gap. It seems like an obvious “adaptation” of those differences. But if you’ve just seen the movies, it would make sense if that didn’t come across, since I can’t remember it being a glaring issue in them. (For the best!)

[@jcs1025]

The more time that goes by the creepier the relationship that develops between Cher and her step brother becomes.

[@bailey7792]

Huh lol? He isnt even her stepbrother lol. Their parents were barely married and then almost immediately divorced, half a decade prior... Idk why people think this is 'creepy' lol. They are not related by blood or by marriage. So what is the issue?

[@brandibastian4193]

bro the issue with former step siblings being into each other bugs you that much i hope you never watched Roseanne cause Becky & Darlene (roseanne's kids) both dated boys from the same family in highschool and Becky ran off and eloped at 17 Darlene was briefly inlaws with her boyfriend before they married & years after the original series when it came back you see Becky's husband died they never hadkids Darlene got divorced they had a couple kids these are actual blood sisters marrying blood brothers so had becky had kids they would have been double cousins with darlene's as they'd share BOTH sets of grandparents but no inbreeding

[@terriermonisgod]

i dont rly see the issue with step siblings doing it. sure even biological family can do it, but then making off springs becomes unethical imo as there are bigger risks of defects. if they grew up together essentially as siblings it would be weird just because i could never see myself doing it, but ive heard about cultures like areas of china that had a culture of doing it with family... its weird but could be just cus im taught its weird
