Clueless (1995) review — it's difficult to overstate the impact of this film
It's difficult to overstate the reach of this Amy Heckerling teen standard. It's a loose revamp of Jane Austen's Emma that buzzes with the kind of emphatic 'Valspeak' (Valley Girl parlance) that eventually spread beyond the cinema and helped transform the very rhythm of spoken English. And so, while Alicia Silverstone as Cher (the Emma Woodhouse to Paul Rudd's Mr Knightley) conspires to matchmake teachers and new high-school students alike, we learn that she is consistently 'like, totally' disappointed with failure. She greets an unwanted male arm around her shoulder with a wince and a baffled 'as if!' And her dyspeptic classmate Amber (Elisa Donovan) demonstrates her studied boredom with thumbs and fingers posed in the shape of a 'W' accompanied by a long-drawn-out 'what-ever!' Some of the Clueless words and phrases that didn't make it, alas? Calling an attractive woman 'a Betty'. And, infamously, describing menstruation as 'I was surfing the crimson wave'.★★★★☆12A, 97minIn cinemas from Jun 27 Times+ members can enjoy two-for-one cinema tickets at Everyman each Wednesday.

But not before making them completely free. 6 6 6 The Japanese company has revealed it is ending support for the titles, which were ported to iOS and Android several years ago. Before they disappear, Sega has made them free to download and has removed all in-app purchases, according to Android Authority.

Or as I like to call them, 'games from my youth'," one person wrote on X. Another added: "Free is free! And some real classics in there." While a third person wrote: "Bro why is this not always the way. Literally every closed 'eshop' should just go out like this when they do (but they shouldn't)." 6 6 6
