Clueless is all about the cliques and social strata of high school, plus the question of whether love (or any other kind of relationship) can ever transcend those boundaries. Pretty in Pink tackles these same questions but with a very different perspective. Instead of a wealthy "queen bee" like Cher, Pretty in Pink's heroine Andie is a quirky, artsy outsider who gets picked on by the school's rich jerks for being poor. Andie is excited when her crush on sweet, but rich, Blane is reciprocated, but neither of their respective friend circles thinks that their relationship is a good idea.
