Parallels with Jane Austen's Emma

     * The counterpart to the Mr. Weston / Miss Taylor match is a romance
       (which is promoted by Cher -- the Emma counterpart -- and Dionne)
       between the debate teacher and the school's guidance counselor.
       The movie ends with their wedding.

     * The counterpart to Robert Martin is a skater/druggie boy with a
       good heart who is deemed socially unacceptable.

     * The counterpart to Mr. Elton is actually named "Elton".
     * The counterpart to the portrait of Harriet Smith is a photograph
       of Tai taken by Cher that winds up in Elton's locker.

     * When Elton snubs Tai (the Harriet Smith counterpart) at a dance,
       Josh (the Mr. Knightley counterpart) steps in to save her from embarrassment.

     * The carriage maneuvers are repeated with the teenagers' cars.
       Elton tries to attack the Emma-counterpart in a car after the dance.

     * The counterparts of the Gypsies (who threaten Harriet Smith in
       Emma) are gang bullies at the local mall who threaten Tai; she
       is rescued by Christian (the Frank Churchill counterpart).

     * Tai, the Harriet Smith counterpart, burns the contents of her box
       of Elton memorabilia and confides that she thinks the Mr.
       Knightley counterpart likes her.

     * Miss Bates and the Box Hill incident become a maid from El
       Salvador who is rudely described by Cher, the Emma-counterpart, as
       speaking "Mexican" (though Cher is more emotionally affected when
       she fails her driving test).

     * The secret of the Frank Churchill counterpart (that allows him to
       flirt with Emma without any chance of a serious involvment) turns
       out to be that he's gay (there is no real counterpart to Jane Fairfax).
