As a huge fan of Clueless (and the first movie I saw in theaters), when this came up I HAD to grab it! It was such a quick, interesting read that deep dives into pop culture, Austen’s influence and how Clueless has been a beacon for the comedy department in later years. This movie slaps and so does this book. I cannot WAIT to buy this for my sister who has a June birthday!

This is the book you never knew you needed to read. I am Gen X and Clueless is one of my favorite all-time movies. It’s right up there with all the Brat Pack and John Hughes movies that I never get tired of watching. The author has done some serious homework and provided a deep dive into not only Clueless but other movies that qualify to be in the same genre. A must read.

As a long time reader of the Pop Classics series I was so excited to learn about the newest installment which would be focusing ALL ABOUT CLUELESS. The announcement actually got me to watch the film for the first time ever which only further fueled my excitement for the book! Litt is a very talented writer, spinning personal anecdotes in with the heavy academia all with a kind hand. Whether you've never seen the film or watched it a million times, or just know of Cher's misadventures through pop culture this book will provide a grounded insight for all. Pivoting from a delicate adoration to necessary scrutiny Litt disassembles the nostalgia and legacy that follows the film while exploring both the large and small scale cultural impact of Amy Heckerling's film.
This was a lot of fun and while it was Litt's first book I hope it will not be her last.

"To truly learn from this movie, we need to consider its most effective elements as well as its pitfalls."
Just like the movie it's critiquing, this book by Veronica Litt is a joy to read. Every chapter tackles something connected to the film's many themes, whether it's analyzing the devaluing of stereotypically girly media, or exploring how the movie views romance and relationships. Every chapter balances criticism & praise for the 1995 film, and still shows the readers the many layers of what the audience is really watching.
I think my favorite part was the whole second chapter, where I really loved the analysis of ditzy/innocent characters as those who point out the obvious truths (that other characters don't).

Such a great book especially if you’re a fan of the Clueless series. I love the information and fun behind the scenes commmentary. Perfect for fans
