IsCluelessbetter thanMean Girls?

I saw it when I was 15 and had just finished my first year of high school.

No teen comedies before had felt as fresh or witty.

And thats how it still feels.

I was in utter shock the other day when a friend announced he had never seenClueless.

It was as if he had revealed hed never tried pizza.

Because thats what watching this movie is: a seminal experience.

Also, like, the clothes and Paul Rudd are suuuuuper cute.

Leah Greenblatt says:

Mean Girls:Tim, why am I even listening to you?

Youre a virgin who cant drive.

No, Im kidding!

(And quoting the movie Im not here to defend.)

I think both films are crazy smart and meta and of their moment.

And so, so fetch.
