Summary: Don't Waste Your Time
Review: I am so disgusted with this movie. ... The plot is so unbelievably shallow. ... The jokes aren't good enough to be labeled as lame. ... I don't know how this shallow behavior can be enjoyable. The court scene towards the end of the movie left me almost speechless. ... Long story short, this movie (was not so good).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not your usual chick flick! Unbelievably funny!
Review: "Legally Blonde" wasn't as good as I thought it would be, it was much better! I had always thought that it would be just another chick flick, dumb plot with stupid jokes. Nevertheless, I really wanted to try it out so when I did, I had a pleasantly fun surprise!

Sorority girl of Delta New, Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon), has it all. She's beautiful, everyone loves her, and she has the love of her life, Warner Huntington the 3rd (Matthew Davis). But on the night she believes he's going to propose to her, he instead dumps her big time! After being told she's not serious enough to be his wife if he's going to become a senator, she comes to a decision; to show him how serious she is, she'll go to Harvard Law School where she'll be near Warner! But when she does, she discovers he is already engaged to another student, Vivian Kensington (Selma Blair). With the help of a manicurist, Paulette (Jennifer Coolidge), and support from the handsome Emmet Richmond (Luke Wilson) Elle decides to prove how smart she can be. Will Elle have enough heart to believe in herself to show the world the real person inside of her? Also starring Victor Garber as Professor Callahan and Ali Larter as Brooke Taylor who is being put on trial for murder.

"Legally Blonde" is not your usual chick flick, one of the reasons being that it falls in the category of a pure comedy since there really is not much romance is a way. The plot is as cute and as feel good as it gets, with an outcome you already guessed. But who cares since "Legally Blonde" ultimately satisfies you just the way it is!

Reese Witherspoon is terrific for her role as the cute and peppy girl, Elle Woods. She's incredibly funny and is very much into her role as the way she walks stylishly, swishes her hair, and 'like' talks the way which makes her so believable as a sorority girl. Her character is given some character development but not too much making it too much of a change. In the end she's still Elle, fun and lovable yet a much smarter girl. The supporting cast is also superb and it's hard not to mention all of them. I especially loved Luke Wilson, my first time to see him act though I've seen his brother Owen Wilson in many movies ("Behind Enemy Lines", "Shanghai Noon", "Meet the Parents"). Though Luke Wilson doesn't have that much screen time as I'd hoped, in every role his character Emmett is such a support to Elle. Matthew Davis is also good as the 'jerk' ex-boyfriends of Elle's. I mean from the very beginning you can't help but despise him in a way though he may seem like Elle's 'Prince Charming'.

As I have already mentioned, "Legally Blonde" is just so funny, filled with one-liners and very funny moments! There are plenty of favorite parts, some of mine including Elle's 'bend and snap' method, Elle's two friends coming to the court house saying, "How cute! There's a judge and the jury people!", Emmett giving tips on the professors, and lots more! Plus Bruiser, Elle's chihuahua is so adorable as she has as many different outfits as his master! Oh, and a bit of trivia, Reese Witherspoon's character wears 40 different hairstyles throughout the film! And a numerous array of outfits!

So if you're in mood for a fluffy and light comedy, check out "Legally Blonde", fun whether you're a blonde, brunette, or otherwise! Rated PG-13 for language and sexual reference.

Summary: Good
Review: I just watched this film tonight. In my honest opinion, its a "Clueless" wannabe. I couldn't help but compare the two films, and I hate to say this film comes up short. But, Reese Witherspoon is gorgeous and did a great job. The plot is somewhat predictable, and alittle too convenient, but it still works. This is a feel-good, "girl power" comedy film.

I would recommend this film to any girl/woman who has been dumped by someone they considered the love of their life. You just might feel better afterwards (for a while maybe).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Very Good Movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie was SO not stupid at all!
Review: I went into watching "Legally Blonde" with low expectations. I get tired of movies portraying rich valley girl bimbos that have good luck in life because of their looks. Well, now there is sweet revenge because this girl's got a brain!
Reese Witherspoon is funny, charming, bright, etc. as Elle Woods, the fashion-design major who sets out to become an attorney to keep her snobby boyfriend Warner. She meets adversity because of her Barbie doll looks and wealthy lifestyle, but she actually sets out to prove that she can work just as hard as everyone else and earn respect and success. How very noble of her.
And the character is worthy of respect. The audience will undoubtedly root for her as she makes her way from being late to class to assisting in a sensational trial. The rest of the cast is great as well, but Witherspoon just can't help but outshine them. One exception might be Selma Blair who gave an excellent performance as the icy classmate who has stolen Warner's affection.
There are plenty of funny, even some ridiculous moments in this movie, most of them involving Elle trying confidently to fit in in Harvard's schoolbook-serious environment. But there is also some drama to keep things interesting. And it's not just a chick flick. It's the kind of movie that both men and women can find humorous. Overall, a nice, lighthearted, enjoyable movie.

Rating: 1 stars

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Funny PG-13 Flick
Review: Very clever movie that Reese Witherspoon does a great job in. Not recommended for younger kids due to some crude jokes, but definitely a fun movie for college-age and up who have been there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow, this is HILARIOUS!
Review: Legally Blonde stars Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods, a very stereotypical blonde who's obsessed with her boyfriend Warner. When he dumps her and goes to Harvard, she decides she can make it in to and prove that she's smarter than him, which will make him want her back.
Well, things go wrong for Elle in an imaginative and always humorous way; Reese Witherspoon gives an Oscar-worthy, energetic performance that I won't soon forget. This movie has a good message and great ending, and is definitely one of the best films of 2001.
