7.3Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school's pecking scale. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give hopelessly klutzy new student Tai a makeover.

Filming took place in Southern California over a 40-day schedule. To develop an authentic depiction of 1990s teenage culture, Heckerling observed students at Beverly Hills High School and incorporated contemporary slang into the dialogue.
