Clueless at Outfest

June 14, 2010 News

I’ll be [hosting a screening](http://www.outfest.org/tixSYS/2010/xslguide/eventnote.php?notepg=1&EventNumber=3093) of Amy Heckerling’s CLUELESS at LA’s Outfest 2010. It’s one of my favorite movies of the 90s, but some might wonder if it’s gay enough for the festival.

I would argue that…

> True to its title, CLUELESS doesn’t know how gay it is. Amy Heckerling’s 1995 clever reworking of Jane Austen’s Emma gives us Alicia Silverstone as the stylish but shallow Cher Horowitz, whose well-intentioned meddling leads her to deeper revelations about friendship and forbidden love — her ex-step-brother, the dreamy Paul Rudd. Along the way, she falls for the gay guy, pursues the jerk, and gives her soul a makeover. CLUELESS is a blast of queerjacent sunshine.

Catch the [Clueless screening](http://www.outfest.org/tixSYS/2010/xslguide/eventnote.php?notepg=1&EventNumber=3093) July 11th at 4:45pm at the DGA. Tickets are $13 — but much cheaper if you [become a member](http://www.outfest.org/tixSYS/2010/memberships/selection.php).
