Review of Whatever! edition of CLUELESS
DVD Talk has a review of the newly-released Whatever! edition of CLUELESS. The reviewer admits that the film has aged somewhat, as must be expected with a film that depends so heavily on pop culture references.
Truthfully, one could make a killer drinking game by picking out the dated refences (cell phones with extendable antennae, pagers, backwards baseball caps, etc…), but the ideas that changing others isn’t a path to happiness and that being true to yourself is a good thing are timeless. After all, they made the trip from Austen’s pen to Silverstone’s mouth without much wear.
There’s a good rundown of the extras, most of which were not included in the original DVD of the film and definitely make it worth the investment for fans.

*raises hand*
I know one Janeite who was trying to convince Amy Heckerling to direct a film version of NA. (I think it would be fun to get M. Night Shyamalan, myself, but Amy Heckerling would also be excellent.)
