Jane Austen's Emma meets Beverley Hills 90210 in US West Coast teen lifestyle parody.

Starring:

Alicia Silverstone
Brittany Murphy
Paul Rudd
Donald Faison

Betcha Didn't Know:
- Alicia Silverstone did not know how to correctly pronounce "Haitians" in the classroom scene. Amy Heckerling told the crew not to correct her because she liked it so much and wanted it to be in the film.
- During the film, there are 53 different kinds of tartan/plaid used, seven of which are worn by Cher, and twelve by other major characters.
- When Christian first appears at the class, Cher has new hopes for high school boys. But as the shot pans from her gaze to him in the doorway, just over his left shoulder on the wall in the classroom is a cut out headline from the newspaper which reads "On the Road to Nowhere".
- The scene where Cher wanders around and realizes her true feelings for Josh as fountains erupt is borrowed from Gigi (1958), where Gaston does the same thing. The music playing when Cher stands at the top of the stairs in her white dress before her date with Christian is taken from the same movie.

Quotes:
Mel: What the hell is that?
Cher: A dress.
Mel: Says who?
Cher: Calvin Klein.

Cher: Searching for a boy in high school is as useless as searching for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie.

Heather: It's just like Hamlet said, "To thine own self be true."
Cher: Hamlet didn't say that.
Heather: I think I remember Hamlet accurately.
Cher: Well, I remember Mel Gibson accurately, and he didn't say that. That Polonius guy did.

Cher: Christian said he'd call the next day, but in boy time that meant Thursday.

Cher: It's like that book I read in the 9th grade that said "'tis a far far better thing doing stuff for other people."
