DENVER, March 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- It'll be the
phattest high school reunion ever when Cher
Horowitz and the Class of 1995 come back to the big screen
as Fathom Events and Paramount Pictures celebrate the 25th
anniversary of writer-director Amy
Heckerling's film "Clueless" for three days only
this May.
Tickets are available beginning today at www.FathomEvents.com or
at participating movie theater box offices.
"Clueless" will be accompanied by a totally
classic featurette about the teen slang
("What-ever!") created for the film that became part of
the American vernacular. "Clueless" will play on
May 3 at 4:00
p.m. and 7:00 p.m., then again
on May 4 and 6 at 7:00 p.m. both days (all local times) in more
than 700 movie theaters nationwide. A full list of theater
locations is, like, totally available on the Fathom Events website
(theaters and participants are subject to change).
Originally released in July 1995,
"Clueless" stars Alicia
Silverstone as Cher
Horowitz, whose school life, fashion sense and obsession
with matchmaking all combine in a comedy loosely based on
Jane Austen's Emma – updated
to late 20th century Beverly Hills. Silverstone leads a sparkling
cast that includes Paul Rudd,
Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, Elisa Donovan, Justin Walker, Donald Faison, Breckin Meyer,
Jeremy Sisto, Wallace Shawn and Dan Hedaya.
From the start, "Clueless" charmed both audiences and
critics, with The New York Times
calling it "as eye-catching and cheery as its star," and
Variety hailing it as "a fresh, disarmingly bright and at
times explosively funny comedy."
In the quarter of a century since its release, "Clueless"
has become a quintessential part of popular culture – and a movie
as cherished as Cher imagines herself to be. Entertainment
Weekly included "Clueless" on its list of "New
Classics," and, in 2009, named it one of the best comedies of the
previous 25 years. And … hell-o? It gets better: The BBC has
ranked "Clueless" as one of the 50 best comedies in movie
history. The film is also available on Digital and
Blu-ray.
"Whether you're seeing it for the first or the hundredth time,
Clueless remains one of the funniest and most charming
movies – while never losing its satirical bite or wonderful view of
the world as it existed 25 years ago," said Fathom Events VP of
Studio Relations Tom Lucas. "We couldn't be more delighted to bring
it back to the big screen if Cher herself had asked us."
