Hey there! Plume here, with a review!
I enjoyed reading this poem! I think writing a poem based on a film is pretty cool, and I'm impressed by how much you've been able to capture here.
One thing that I thought was very clear was the narrative you presented here. I'm only vaguely familiar with the plot of Clueless--- I know it takes inspiration from Jane Austen's Emma, though, and I have seen an adaptation of that! However, in your poem, you do a great job of tracing the plight of the subject, a girl who outwardly appears very content in her position as a very popular girl who gets enjoyment out of setting up others, but within longs for a relationship of her own. Really nice work conveying that.
One thing I did wonder is if this poem could maybe benefit from stanzas. I felt like it was a little hard to get into the rhythm because it was just one large stanza, and the line breaks felt a little out of place. I wasn't sure if that was what you were going for, but I think you could do something cool with the stanzas since you've got the repeated "clueless" motif throughout, either having the stanzas start or end with the word, especially since throughout some of the times you use the word don't have associated rhymes.
Specifics
she wore a tight mini black dress
but the night still felt like a mess
I thought the contrast here was really nice. The tight mini black dress is something that definitely feels like a symbol for sophistication and control, and the fact that the night was a mess was a subtle way of implying that even though she tried to project an outward air of coolness, in truth, she's actually got this inner turmoil.
Overall: nice work! I like the idea of writing a poem based on a movie, and I think this is a great example of one! I hope to read more of your poetry soon! Until next time!
