This is the hippest, coolest and best 90s romantic comedy ever! However, I do believe that it can only be understood and enjoyed by people of the younger generation - as in, people who were/are teens in the 90s.
OK, on with the story...
This is Cher - she is like,
way cool and did I mention, way rich!
ANYWAY, Cher decides to be a do-gooder
when she finds an utterly clueless new girl named Tai. She and Dionne totally
make Tai over and lead her through a string of 'proper' choices, however,
they try to defeat fate and prevent Tai from being with the one she *really*
likes....
Meanwhile in Cher's life, Josh,
her Daddy's ex-wife's son, is staying with them, and Cher finds it hard
to admit to herself at first that he is, well... kind of a Baldwin! At
first she is like, totally annoyed that he is there 'cause he is simply
going through that 'post adolescent idealistic stage'!
As we progress through the hilarious series of events in this *very* 90s fashion, we discover that Cher begins to realise that she is lonely, and perhaps it is because she can be slightly selfish or self centered at times - for the first time in her life, Cher feels clueless.
So, we see Cher put aside
her mobile phone, and other material possessions for a while, as she decides
to 'make-over her soul'. While she goes about turning her own life around
for the better though, and begins looking for a Baldwin of her own, Tai
informs her that she likes Josh. For some reason this strikes a cord in
Cher and she tells Tai that she doesn't think they would 'mesh well'. Tai
takes offense and insults Cher in a 'way harsh' manner.
Cher goes for replenishment at the mall and all of a sudden it hits her - she is madly in love with Josh! Ordinarily Cher has no problems getting the guys she wants - but this is after all, Josh! However, we could tell that Josh was sorta diggin' on her too and the scene that finally gets them together just couldn't be any sweeter.
This is simply an excellent romantic comedy, with many elements of both comedy and romance contained within the story. The jargon makes it enlighteningly fresh and the whole experience leaves you buzzing for weeks.
This movie definitely gets
