I feel the same way when I talk about Alicia Silverstone’s performance, specifically. Everyone in Clueless is great but can you imagine Cher played by anyone else and having the movie work as it does?

I hope not sporadically!

I appreciate Clueless more in my mid-30s than I did as a pre-teen, although I enjoyed it then. It’s far more clever than it seems on the surface and the performances are perfect.

“Something and something and buttons and bows!”

And his utter joy at complicating things further when Roz shows up: “What do ya know? It’s Maris!” Just for funsies.

Jean Smart was great. “PUT YOUR BROTHER ON THE PHONE!”

The realest part is Frasier and Martin graciously asking if they should give the crying/fighting mother and daughter some privacy and the mother casually waving it off: “Please, we’re nearly done.”
