About This Quiz
As if! If you think you're going to slide away from this "Clueless" quiz that easy, you have Cher mistaken! Rather than taking a trip to the mall, we're traveling back to 1995 with this cult classic!
In 1995, a coming-of-age film about a wealthy Beverly Hills teen came to life. Said to be based on the Jane Austen classic, "Emma," "Clueless" follows the story of a superficial teen who lacks direction - except to the mall!Â
Starring Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Stacey Dash, and Brittany Murphy, "Clueless" would go on to be a classic '90s film that was lifted by its massive following. After the huge success of the film, "Clueless" went on to become a lifestyle. The film spawned a sitcom that was released in 1996 and lasted three seasons. It would also lead to an extensive book series by H.B. Gilmour and Randi Reisfeld.Â
