I am not one to adequately analyze a movie, but I can tell you this about Clueless: Almost everyone who has seen the cult classic falls in love with it. In the most recent issue of Vanity Fair, another cult favorite—designer Alexander Wang—said Clueless was his favorite movie (along with Mean Girls). Well, the movie [...]
