Synopsis:

Cher’s world unravels with the sudden appearance of two hunks: a sexy new classmate, and her square but cute ex-stepbrother. Now she’s learning that when it comes to love, she’s Clueless.

‘Clueless’ follows the daily lives of rich, high schooler Cher and her friends and family as she finds herself in an uncertain place when two drastically different boys attract her attention amid trying to make over and revitalize the new girl in an attempt to do something good. As Cher and her best friend Dionne try to balance the challenges of such crucial things in life such as school, love and of course shopping, Cher soon uncovers a different side of herself in the process and for likely the first time in her life must choose what is truly important.

Written and directed by Amy Heckerling (director of the beloved 80’s teen comedy ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’) who does a great job at the helm of ‘Clueless’ guiding along this teen comedy for the next generation with wit, style and humor. The film’s notable cast includes Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Brittany Murphy, Donald Faison, Stacey Dash, Dan Hedaya, Elisa Donovan, Breckin Meyer, Jeremy Sisto and Wallace Shawn who each offer fitting and solid performances in their respective roles for the most part.

‘Clueless’ was first released in theaters during the summer of 1995 and has remained a staple of teen comedies in the three decades since its release. I can still remember catching this one as a teenager and instantly becoming a fan, and if anything my love and appreciation for the film has only grown over the years. It still offers a fun, sweet and consistently funny ride that does a great job of exploring a collection of rich high school kids and the unique style and manner of their wealthy lives, not to mention how little status might mean when you find something or someone that you truly care about and want to fight for. If you enjoy similar teen comedy films that do a tremendous job of capturing the generation while competently contributing some great humor, laughs and heart throughout but have never seen this one, then it’s definitely well worth checking out whenever possible, especially now that it’s available at last in glorious UHD.

‘Clueless’ comes home on 4K Ultra HD for the first time in celebration of its 30^th Anniversary courtesy of Paramount Home Entertainment and is available in both a standard 4K UHD release and a Limited Edition Steelbook available exclusively from Amazon which is the version that was sent over for review. The Limited Amazon Steelbook set comes in a nice, solid side slip case that includes a Steelbook case (which is almost identical in appearance inside and out to the 25^th Anniversary Blu-ray Steelbook design other than the removal of the Blu-ray logo on the side and the addition of a second disc slot) that includes the 4K UHD disc and the previously released Blu-ray disc along with it, plus a number of physical goodies such as cards, a poster, stickers and more.

The 4K disc brings the film home featuring a very nice new Ultra High Definition presentation with Dolby Vision and HDR-10 (and utilizing the film’s correct 1.85:1 Aspect Ratio at last) which is paired with the 5.1 DTS-HD MA soundtrack included on the Blu-rays. For fans of the film that would love to own it in 4K and appreciate all the bonus goodies this Limited Edition Steelbook is definitely recommended, while the standard release should also work just fine for those who simply want the upgraded feature film.

VIDEO:

The 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release of ‘Clueless’ features a full 2160p Ultra High Definition presentation with Dolby Vision and HDR-10, presented in its original 1.85:1 Aspect Ratio. The video presentation looks pretty fantastic as a whole and offers a sharp, clean and gorgeously detailed presentation from start to finish that never suffers from any issues to be located throughout. Detail is spectacular on characters, backgrounds and vehicles, plus most everything else. The Dolby Vision HDR improves upon many colors including pieces of clothing and nature elements, while black levels remain clean, deep and absent of any troubles. Overall, this is a great Ultra High Definition presentation that provides a solid upgrade for the beloved film that should please fans.

AUDIO:

The 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release features a 5.1 channel DTS-HD Master Audio Soundtrack which appears to be identical to the audio presentation included on the previous Blu-ray releases of the film. For a review of the soundtrack please visit our Blu-ray Steelbook review HERE!
