Summary: so cute!
Review: This movie exceeded my expectations. After being dumped by her boyfriend on the night she was sure he was going to propose, Californian sorority princess Elle decides to follow him to Harvard Law School and win him back. She embarks on her new goal with rigorous studying to pass the LSAT and craft a charming and hilarious video application. She arrives at Harvard to find him engaged to another girl, her classmates rude and snippy to her, and the classes overwhelming.

But Elle does not turn tail and run, like everyone from her ex-boyfriend to her parents expect her to. She faces her opponents with aplomb and ingenuity, and proves she has the right stuff for Harvard after all.

The movie is charming, and it is heartening to see Elle, who used to be taken by hair, nails and boys, find a career she can really sink her teeth into without losing herself. Reese Witherspoon rocks as Elle, and Selma Blair turns in a good performance as the not-that-snobby Vivian.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you're a Clueless fan, you'll LOVE this movie!
Review: If you love Clueless, you'll LOVE this movie! All of the characters are not only full of funny dialogue, but their actions and faces are so entertaining. Reese Witherspoon is perfect as Elle, a fashion major from CULA who aspires to be a Harvard Law student to win back her boyfriend. On her path to self discovery, she finds new friends and a new best friend, finds a new love, and develops confidence in herself. This comedy is an inspiration for blondes everywhere!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: frothy and fun, a great performance by Reese Witherspoon
Review: "Legally Blonde" is lighthearted froth, a fun movie that carries you along so effortlessly that you may not realize the strong performance by Reese Witherspoon. She hits and maintains just the right note in her portrayal of a California blonde who heads east to follow her boyfriend to, of all places, Harvard Law School. As the plot unfolds, she leaves her legacy-prep love interest far behind as she discovers intellectual acuity and strength of her own.
This movie is escapist-entertainment with a heart and with grit. Highly recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny & Fresh
Review: Reese Witherspoon is becoming quite a big contender in Hollywood today. She's appeared in several critically acclaimed films such as Cruel Intentions, Election, and Pleasantville. And with Legally Blonde, her hot streak continues.

Witherspoon plays Elle Woods, the beautiful, blonde, rich valley girl who gets dumped by her boyfriend who has made the decision to become more "serious" and study at Law School. After being rejected,, Elle decides to follow him to Law School to win him back. When she gets there, she realizes he has a new girlfriend, who is played by Selma Blair (Reese's co-star in Cruel Intentions). This sets up an amazingly fresh and bright comedy that is sure to be remembered by many people.

Elle quickly becomes a very likeable character. She stands up for what she believes in and says some of the things that we wish we could to others, but don't. She's very much of an outcast when she arrives at Harvard and despised by most, but as the movie continues, she slowly begins winning over almost every character in the movie.

Legally Blonde is a very bright and smart comedy, with a hip and talented cast. It contains great morals, a great story, and fun dialogue. And when it's over, no matter what mood you were in before, you're guaranteed to feel better about yourself afterwards. This movie is definitely worth a look.

There are many great extras contained on the DVD, such as a Hoku music video, deleted scenes, and two featurettes. The first featurette informs you of the process of finding the right 'blonde' for Reese, and the second informs you of how the movie actually was made. You can't miss this.

Summary: I'm still laighing...
Review: I thought that "Leagally Blonde" was really funny! Reese Witherspoon was great!

"Legally Blonde" is about a Beverly Hills blonde who chases after her boyfriend all the way to Harvard Law School...

Okay, so the plot sounds kind of cheesy but it's actually really funny. I thought that the whole "strong blonde" thing was kinda cool.

The special features on the video were great! A lot went into this movie!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved this Movie!!!!
Review: I loved this movie because it shows you if u try hard good things will come out of it. Reese Witherspoon plays Elle Woods as she goes to Harvard to get her boyfriend back. When she arrives at Harvard she finds out Warner (Her Ex Boyfriend) has already been engadged.
I do not want to tell you the whole story so watch Legally Blonde to find out the rest!!!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, clean fun
Review: The plot isn't original and the jokes are predictable but that doesn't keep this movie from being suprisingly entertaining. Reese Witherspoon steals the show as the dumb blonde who steals the show at Harvard Law School. The cast does a great job of bringing a freshness to this stereotypical comedy. This movie is also quite clean compared to other recent teen movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Girl Power
Review: This movie is often dismissed by people as a "good" movie because of the subject matter of a blonde chick going to Harvard to pursue her boyfriend. Yeah the premise is kind of demeaning. BUT, in the long run Elle delivers a stellar performance of a woman going after her dreams against the odds of people not believing in her.

Bruiser, the dog, adds an extra dose of sugar to this film, as does the obscene amounts of pink. Reese Witherspoon is a great actress who can pull off the "determined girl" character really well (see "Election"). This is a very light-hearted movie, reminscent of "Clueless" in its talk and clothing. Girls will definately love it. The writing is laugh-out-loud funny as are every single one of the characters.

The DVD features are excellent such as some documentaries on the movie that are informative as well as cute, plus you'll see some deleted scenes.

So in the words of Elle, "Don't be skeered," check this flick out!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Very over the top--and very, very funny.
Review: Robert Luketic's Legally Blonde is so over the top that any person with any level of normal intelligence and taste will be squirming in their seats and rolling their eyes for the first 10 minutes or so of the film. The caricature is so outlandish and the kitsch ladled on so heavily that the film seems intent on blowing by parody to excessive farce. However, the genuineness of Reese Witherspoon and the shift from California to Boston and the sorority house to the law school provide just enough dampening to allow you to sit back, relax and enjoy the movie.

And the movie is enjoyable. Witherspoon has a genuine radiance on screen which, combined with her wonderful sense of comedic timing, allows one to forgo analysis of the obvious and hackneyed plot and concentrate on her quite considerable talents. Moreover, Luketic, in what amounts to a heroic restraint these days, virtually completely forgoes the modern tendency in summer "fluff" movies to avoid cheap and tawdry sexual exploitation (the "bend & snap scene being the only real exception) and concentrate on the story, letting is focus on Reese's acting rather than her bosom. (Way to go BOB!)

In the end one is left with a much better than average Summer-B-flick experience that is both entertaining and amusing in the extreme.
