How do you define a romantic comedy? We don’t need the romance to understand the story or appreciate the comedy of “Clueless.” Points for the non-rom-com side. ), even a romantic comedy? (After all, “Clueless” is based on Jane Austen’s Emma, source material that I would consider in very solid romantic comedy territory.) And you’re right about Emma being an influence for Heckerling, which makes me think of “Clueless” as more of a rom-com.
