I know I liked it. I especially liked the relationship [between Mel and Cher]. I’m an uncle to quite a number of nephews and nieces, and I don’t have my own children. But I’ve been close to children my whole life. I liked how it was written and how the character was written. The tough love. What was your personal style going into the film?

The movie provides a detailed description of Cher’s personality traits that make her so endearing to the audience. She’s confident yet vulnerable at times and always tries to do what’s right for those around her. From negotiating grades with her teachers to helping out new students at school, she proves time and again that she has a heart of gold beneath all the glitz and glam. Cher is allowed to fall in love at her own pace, and even sitting beside her on the sofa Josh gives her space. Rudd’s performance is so open and gentle that he just honestly doesn’t seem in the slightest bit predatory; he’s just plain adorable. That being said, the film has a lot to offer teens who love romance and drama. The characters are relatable and well-developed, and viewers will find themselves invested in their stories. The chemistry between the lead actors is palpable, making for some truly memorable moments on screen.As Cher navigates through these complicated relationships, she learns about herself and what she truly wants in a partner. She discovers that her feelings for Josh run deeper than just friendship and that he has been there for her all along despite their occasional arguments and disagreements. Clueless Heart teaches us that finding true love can be a confusing and messy process but ultimately worth it when we find someone who accepts us for who we are and makes us feel genuinely happy. Does Clueless have a happy ending?

But Rudd’s the man for the job. At the party, he pretty much ignores Cher, talks to the only grown up in the room, and then dances like an embarrassing lunatic with Tai (who isn’t embarrassed and doesn’t care since, despite the makeover, she is actually just a pretty chill girl). Once Fox had decided that Clueless should be a theatrical feature rather than a TV show, casting got under way. Clueless isn’t Rudd’s first credited feature, that’s something called A Question of Ethics (1992), where he is credited as ‘Kenny Chin.’ O'Meara, Jennifer (Spring 2014).

I think I read for Elton as well. But Amy said, “What do you think of Josh? Do you want to read for that?” So I did.

Throughout the movie, she experiences a series of romantic relationships with different characters before finally realizing her true feelings for Josh. First, there’s Elton whom Cher believes is the perfect match for Tai but ends up trying to pursue Cher instead. Then there’s Christian who initially seems like the ideal partner but turns out to be gay and not interested in Cher romantically. I don’t get it. Did my hair get flat?
