I
have just discovered this 1995 American comedy film based on the
novel Emma.
Jane
Austen might never have imagined that her 1816 novel could be turned into a brilliant
and satirical look at rich teenagers in a Beverly Hills high school. Cher and Dionne, both named after "great
singers of the past that now do infomercials," are 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 and sensitive stepbrother, 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, who starts out a geek and ends up a Cher
prodigy. Cher also has her own sensitive
side … she is looking for the perfect boyfriend, and she ends up finding him
where she least expected!
