Rakuten: The Extended Cher Cut

Shopping app Rakuten revives Alicia Silverstone’s Cher character from the 1995 movie Clueless in its fun Super Bowl spot. Now looking somewhat older than her High School peers (as one of them points out) Cher is seen debating a classmate about all the benefits of getting cash back with the app.

Rakuten’s in-house agency wrote the ad, which was shot by Speck & Gordon at Furlined.
