Synopsis
Jane Austen might never have imagined that her 1816 novel Emma could be turned into a fresh and satirical look at ultra-rich teenagers in a Beverly Hills high school. Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and Dionne (Stacey Dash), both named after "great singers of the past that now do infomercials," are pampered upper-class girls who care less about getting good grades than wearing the right clothes and being as popular as possible. But Cher, who lives with her tough yet warm-hearted lawyer dad (Dan Hedaya) and hunky, sensitive stepbrother (Paul Rudd), also has an innate urge to help those less fortunate -- like the two introverted teachers she brings together ("negotiating" herself improved grades in the process) and new friend Tai (Brittany Murphy), who starts out a geek and ends up a Cher prodigy. Cher also possesses her own sensitive side, and she is looking for the perfect boyfriend, whom she ends up finding where she least expected. ~ Don Kaye, All Movie Guide






************************************************************************************


The movie is more than ditzy girls who like to shop and are totally clueless. Cher is a highschool teenager who has everything (material wise) and while she is in search for the perfect love, she realizes that her perfect world is crashing down before her - her popularity, her influence and her perfect guys. She realizes that her money, popularity and influence are not used wisely and are not truly making her happy. So she decides, "to make over her soul" by using her luxuries to help those less fortunate. She realizes that chasing after all the material wealth is pointless. She realizes that her own wisdom, which has helped others is not working for her own life, but through all of her hilarious misconceptions, assumptions and highclass mistakes she finds meaning and love in her life.
