About the film

In this modern retelling of Emma by Jane Austin, Cher Horowitz sees herself as a natural matchmaker and do-gooder. Stylish and popular, Cher deicdes to transform Tai, a sweet and awkward new student, into one of the most popular girls at school. As her plan backfires, she begins to recognize her own flaws and insecurities. Through a mix of humor, missteps and self-reflection, she discovers what genuine friendship, kindness and love look like–realizing she had been clueless all along.

(1995, dir., Amy Heckerling, 97 mins., PG-13)
