Summary: "Legally Blonde" RULES!
Review: "Legally Blonde" is one of the funniest movies in the world. I'm not blonde naturally (I'm a brunette by nature, but I dyed my hair two summers ago, and now I'm keeping it that color), but I can definitely see where Elle is coming from. This movie is a must-see for anyone, whether you be blonde, brunette, redhead, black-haired or even green-haired. It's definitely on my top ten, maybe even top five!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Little Addition
Review: I think all the other reviews cover what I'll say except one thing... the sorority. Elle (Reese Witherspoon) chose by far the best sorority to join (sadly, this is only seen at the beginning). The sorority scenes set up Elle's background. Even her room outlines the perfect ditz. Pink, pink, and, well, pink are the main colors. This is by far one of the best teen movies I've seen in a long time.

Summary: Legally Blonde Rules!!!
Review: This movie is the best PG-13 movie I've EVER seen!!! I think that someone who goes from sorority girl to Harvard law graduate is amazing! It shows that anyone can change. Also, Vivian goes from snobby rich girl who was Warner's fieance (Warner was also Elle's boyfriend for a time) to Elle's best friend. She is able to use her fashion facts to prove someone guilty and save one of her friends from going to jail. Like I said in the beginning, its the best movie EVER!! It is so funny that you will want to watch it again and again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Cheers for Elle!
Review: Legally Blonde is about young woman that is determined to win her ex-beau back, but only to discovered that she has true talent in life!

Elle Woods is dumped by her boyfriend, Warner. Warner tells her that he wants to be a Senator, and in order to follow the "Senator rules" he cannot marry someone that appears "ditzy". After Elle gets out of her depression mood, she decides to win Warner back by applying for Harvard Law school. You would think that a sorority sister would not get accepted into law school, but she does! She starts to figure who she really is! Her first few weeks there is hetic because Warner is engaged, his fiancee will do anything to make Elle's life miserable, and Elle hardly knows anything about how to conduct herself in class.

Elle wises up, and she starts to take law school seriously. She demonstartes that she is talented, and she has a knack for studying law. But she goes through events in the movie that will changed her life and bring out who she is forever!

Legally Blonde is funny, miracalous, and inspiring. Elle Woods *rocks*! And the stereotype about being blonde is sooo not true either!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Prepare For Shocking Pink!!! Vivacious Reese Rules the Court
Review: Suppose you are a girl having "too blonde" hair for your boyfriend who ditched you and went to a law school. Suppose you chase him, giving the best you can do, meaning, going to the same school to be a law student. But how much does it take for you when you're to read heavy textbooks your nasty teachers assign to read instead of "Seventeen" or "Cosmopolitan," to get back your ex-boyfriend? Or your dignity for that matter?

Looking this way at "Legally Blonde," truly enjoyable comedy, it becomes now 100 % clear that this joyful film is not a second cousin of "Clueless," a modern high school comedy. "Legally Blode" means exactly delectable Reese Witherspoon, and even if the script sometimes (or you might say always) gives a ridiculously incredible turns in any given 10 minutes, it is absolutely OK as long as Reese is on the screen ... and, thank Heavens, she IS!

So, don't complain anything about less exposure of supporting players (Luke Wilson fans especially), and grab a huge cup of popcorn and just have fun. Not every scenes are successful, I know, but as far as Reese's character Elle Woods is concerned, it is absolutely a genuine fun that make us forget any clumsy moment of the story. And for older film fans like me, you got a special appearance (welcome but too brief) of Raquel Welch.

Finally, the film is reportedly made with a low budget ($ 18 millions), but every effort is put into the film's unexpect places where you might miss. To illustrate, just try to count 40 different hairstyles that decorates Elle's head. And watch out the delightful semi-musical scene in the beauty salon, where Elle teaches how to catch guy's attention (with incredible 98 % success rate). This scene is choreographed by no other than Toni Basil. Enjoy it.

Trivia: a little geeky student David who is given a suprising present form Elle is Oz Perkins, son of Anthony.

Summary: Legally Blonde -- Popkorn Junkies (and my) review
Review: What thought crossed your mind when you first heard about this movie? I was thinking that "Legally Blonde" was just another title for "Clueless 2" and I wondered where Alicia Silverstone would fit in. Still, I thought it looked saccharine, sweet, Bubblicious, and fun....and fun it is.

The plot revolves around Reese Witherspoon's character, Elle Woods, a blonde, beauty queen, perfect, Barbie doll, babe. But not only does Elle look perfect, but she acts perfectly too....I'll get more into that aspect of her character later. Anyway, Elle's perfect GQ boyfriend Warner, is about to go off to Harvard Law and instead of proposing to her he dumps her. He tells Elle that if he wants to be a senator by the time he's 30 (uh, good luck) he needs a more serious girl-- a Jackie, not a Marilyn-- as he so aptly puts it. Elle is just not serious enough for him. Unfortunately, Elle is seriously in love with Warner and doesn't want to lose him. She devises a plan to get him back-- she'll go to Harvard Law too ("What, like it's hard?", she says).

The rest of the story involves how Elle deals with the nerds at Harvard, the attitudes of East Coasters, and scary sadistic law professors. As if all that is not enough....Elle also has to cope with Warner's horrible, mean, super [nasty] fiancé who makes it a point to humiliate Elle whenever possible. She's a real meany! Elle pulls through and eventually realizes that she really is a smart girl with a great legal mind (in her own way)....oh, not to mention a great sense of style and knowledge about fashion.

Overall, the story is really cute and very enjoyable. There was only one scene that really made me roll my eyes and think, "D'oh! Gimme a break!". The main reason I really liked "Legally Blonde" was because of Elle's character. She's beautiful and perfect and looks like a Malibu Barbie....but she is also very self assured and confident. She doesn't try to change herself for others and she stays true to herself despite ridicule. Also, when things get tough for her she always responds in an almost saintly manner...she "kills 'em with kindness." She always tries to be nice to others and always has a kind word. I thought it was a very positive message.

Recommendation: I thought "Legally Blonde" was a great movie. It was very funny and entertaining. I enjoyed "Legally Blonde" much more. It was a lot of fun and it had a great message-- be yourself!

Summary: 3 CHEERS FOR REESE WITHERSPOON!!
Review: This was a TRULY FUNNY movie!Reese Witherspoon took the ill-used term "dumb blonde" and put it to task. As a graduate in fashion and recently dumped by her self absorbed boyfriend who sees her as a less than perfect girlfriend for a soon to be law student Reese witherspoon as Elle Woods shows that with determination, guts and grit that one can overcome any obstacle and prejudices.
I first saw reese in a lifetime movie as a deaf mute girl...I knew then that she was going to be a good actress but never did I forsee that she would be this good...of all the young actresses I think she has the potential to be the next lauren bacall!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Blonde UnderDog of a Movie
Review: Legally Blonde is one of the best underdog movies I've ever come across. Reese Witherspoon plays Elle Woods, a Beverly Hills blonde with a fashion designing career in order and a Hawaiin Tropic belt under her . . . belt. When her boyfriend (Matther Davis) decides to dump her and go to Harvard to pursue a career in Law, Elle figures the only way to win him back and to show him up at his own game. So Elle heads off to Harvard, and certainly does show a lot of people that blonde is a whole lot more fun than people put on.

Legally Blonde came as a surprise hit to Hollywood. But it's totally worthy of it's praise. The screenplay is smooth going and never hits a corny note, even with some of the characters that could have been ultra corny. Reese Witherspoon absolutely shines as Elle Woods. Jennifer Coolidge was adorable as Elle's new best friend, Paulette. Matthew Davis played the part of the rich, snobby boy to the core, and Selma Blair's change in character was flawless. She's too cute. The rest of the supporting cast all gave great performances, as well as the little Chihuahua who played Bruiser.

The Special Edition dvd is a must-have for your collection. There are two audio commentaries with film crew and Reese Witherspoon. Two features, one which goes into full detail on the movie; from the beginning of the idea to the end result. I was glad to see this instead of a 7 minute or so promotional spot which is marked as a featurette. This part of the DVD is a much watch. The other featurette is all about Reese's hair and is a fun little ditty. There are 8 or so deleted scenes, some with commentary from director Robert Luketic. Rounding out the extras are the theatrical trailer, production notes, and cast & crew bios. The picture quality is great with Elle's bright colors contrasting well with the fall colored background of Harvard. The audio is also very good.

Legally Blonde will certainly stand out from the rest, and it's all thanks to the cast and crew, and mainly, Reese Witherspoon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Totally "pink"
Review: This is one of my all time favorite movies with Reese. She is a wonderful actress and this role proves that. I loved her in this part I think it was a great change for her. IT also has the message that you can do anything you want in life, if you put your mind to it, and that everything happens for a reason.
