Clueless centers on Alicia Silverstone's Cher Horowitz, daughter of a single litigator named Melvin Horowitz. Cher, who lost her mother when she was a baby, loves matchmaking and makeovers. When Josh Lucas, Melvin's stepson from his brief marriage to an ex-wife, tells Cher that she only does good deeds when they benefit her, she decides to prove him wrong.

Cher begins her journey of self-improvement by taking a newcomer named Tai under her wing and giving her a makeover so that she can become popular. However, things take a turn for the worse as the extremely stylish Cher realizes that she has made the wrong romantic matches and gets rejected by her crush.

To make matters worse, Tai becomes more popular than Cher. Eventually, Cher realizes her good deeds were often self-serving. By the end of the movie, she also discovers whom she loves.

The coming-of-age comedy stars Dan Hedaya as Cher's father, Melvin Horowitz, Stacey Dash as Cher's best friend, Dionne Davenport, Paul Rudd as Cher's ex-stepbrother, Josh Lucas, and Brittany Murphy as Tai Frasier.

"And the only reason I would allow that, because I don't think it's appropriate for 5 year olds, is because it was on that big screen that we saw it at the cemetery. He didn’t know what was going on," the actress said.

Alicia Silverstone further stated that the only thing her son took away from the movie was the kiss at the end. She continued,
