Summary: Awesome, Almost-True Picture of How to Succeed in Law School
Review: Buy this movie! Seriously, it is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and most of my friends and family fully support that opinion. So take a chance and buy it!Reese Witherspoon makes a steller performance as Elle Woods, a drop-dead gorgeous blonde, ditzy as can be, who basically comes to one day and decides to attend Harvard Law School. Why? Because becoming a law student is the only way to win back the love of Warner Huntington III (played by hunk Matthew Davis). And suprisingly, she manages to convince the Harvard admittance committee that her brains . . . or assets . . . will make her an excellent addition to the school. Once she gets to Harvard, however, Elle is shocked to learn that everyone does NOT love her. She faces hard classes for which she is expected to prepare, a professor who tosses her out of class, and finally discovers that Warner got engaged over the summer to a preppy Eastern girl. But Elle is up to the challenge, rocketing to stardom even as a 1L (first-year law student to those not in the club). My 5-star recommendation comes from my love of a good lawyer joke, and the ability to laugh at our profession. And this movie definitely does that. You get to see that law school is filled with tough classes, hard profs, nasty law students, and stretching one to one's limits. But you also see a woman with a truly good heart rise above all the pettiness she faces, and succeed by being true to herself. A truly enjoyable time for everyone watching.

Summary: Cute Piece of Escapist Fluff
Review: To "Angelhrs" in Washington, LIGHTEN UP! You are taking this movie WAY too seriously! This movie is cute and funny, (ESPECIALLY the joke about gay guys knowing designers and straight guys not), and no other actress could have pulled this off the way Reese Witherspoon does. She was PERFECT casting!
"Angelhrs," your lack of spelling ability totally blew any credibility you might have had with me, and it's apparent that you wouldn't know what funny was if it bit you on the nose! Just because you happen to live in Washington, D.C. doesn't mean you can't have a sense of humor.
To anyone who hasn't seen this movie, just ignore what "Angelhrs" has to say about it because if you put any stock in what SHE says, you'll be missing out on a cute, fun little movie. To those of you who HAVE already seen it, you know what I'm talking about.

Summary: Fun, but don't expect a great satire
Review: Legally Blonde is a comedy that pokes fun at the lifestyles of rich California girls. A few years ago, a little jewel of a movie called Clueless gave us a much funnier and more insightful look at these young ladies. It's probably still around your video store. The immensely talented and likable Reese Witherspoon stars in Legally Blonde. She portrayed a much more determined and funnier girl in Election, one of the best teen comedies ever made. This doesn't mean Legally Blonde isn't enjoyable. It means it's lightweight entertainment. It makes you smile a lot rather than laugh. It does have the distinction of being rather sweet and lovable [thanks to Ms. Witherspoon] in a year of mainly cynical and gross-out comedies. Elle Woods [Witherspoon] has it all. She's rich, adorable and popular. So is her boyfriend, Warner [Matthew Davis]. Her sorority sisters at her Los Angeles college think Warner is about to propose marriage. Everyone is ecstatic. Instead, Warner, who is about to go to Harvard Law School, dumps her. He says she doesn't fit into his plan to be a US Senator by the time he is thirty because, frankly, she's just too blonde. He needs a girl who's more East Coast Establishment, like a Kennedy or a Rockefeller. In real life, a young woman would be thankful to have seen her boyfriend's true colors before it was too late. But this is the movies, so Elle decides she will become the girl he desires. She applies to Harvard herself, and actually gets accepted. Off she goes to Cambridge with her little dog, Bruiser, and a Bekins truckload of furniture and fashion accessories. There, she discovers she's still too blonde for Warner, who now has a brunette girlfriend. That's okay. She a Southern California girl, and nothing is too big of a challenge for one of those. Her optimism and sense of self are too great to be undone by much of anything or anyone. Legally Blonde plays like an old-fashioned star vehicle. The entire movie revolves around Ms. Witherspoon to the point where the other actors have little to do except play second banana to her. While she certainly is an interesting enough actress to be the center of attention, I suspect the situation arose because of weaknesses in the script. There are other very talented players here, in particular Holland Taylor, Jennifer Coolidge and Ali Lartner, but their characters either aren't well developed or are too little seen. This type of satirical comedy works best when the lead has at least one strong character to work off of. One of the elements that made Election work so funny was that Witherspoon's ruthless character had a powerful adversary in that of Matthew Broderick's. One of the movie's strongest assets is its costumes. Witherspoon has over fifty costume changes. These range from the outlandish to the bizarre to the fabulous. At the points where the movie dragged a bit, I was kept alert by wondering what on earth the star would appear in next. All this attention to clothing is appropriate because the focal point of Legally Blonde isn't about the legal profession. It's about what's fashionable. The emphasis here is definitely on blonde rather than legal.

Summary: Legally Blonde rocks!
Review: Legally Blonde is an amazing comedy worth being watched atleast 3 times! Reese Witherspoon is amazing and does her acting talents to the fullest. She plays Elle Woods, a girl who was dumped ny her boyfriend because she was too blonde and therefore dumb. Her boyfriend goes to Harvard Law School, so she also goes there to make an attempt to get him back...A very funny and entertaining film that can be watched many times by the whole family. I hope this review was helpful to you!

Summary: Logically Bland but Laughably Fun
Review: Never taking itself too seriously, "Legally Blonde" surprised me in it's treatment of the tried and true Ugly Duckling tale. Reese Witherspoon is perfect as Elle Woods, an LA sorority girl who wins herself a slot in the freshman class at prestigious Harvard Law School. After a rocky start, she soon comes into her own and takes the campus, and her classmates, by surprise. This film never pretends to be more than it is and ingratiates itself to the audience in it's self-mockery. The story moves well, the plotting is solid and the acting (apart from Luke Wilson's Keaneu Reeves tribute to non-acting) is passable. It's a fun movie that's sure to appeal to the underdog rooters in us all.

Summary: If Greta Van Susteren did it, so can Reese!
Review: A You-Go-Girl fable about a California sorority sister who discovers she, like, has a brain. *Legally Blonde* stars Reese Witherspoon, an actress in desperate need of a good role. This isn't it. Here, it's pretty obvious that she knows that her character isn't in the least realistic, so she wisely makes fun of the character instead of actually playing it. This could've been a real (not too sure about GOOD) movie, but instead we're asked to believe that Fashion Accessories is a major at an accredited SoCal institution. Okay okay, I get it, one is supposed to suspend one's belief; indeed, there are comical payoffs if one does: Reese's video application for Harvard Law is pretty funny, for instance, not to mention the rather endearing adherence to the color of pink. I even admired the basic premise of the movie, which is that the human mind is something that should be cultivated in order to give more meaning to one's life. But, but, BUT: doesn't the notion of a beach-bunny bimbo who suddenly becomes a razor-sharp legal mind as easily as flicking a light-switch rather diminish the idea of intelligence itself? If it's so easy to be smart, is smartness really a virtue after all? Well, it's NOT so easy to be smart. It's also not so easy to write an intelligent script.

Summary: Incredible comedic performance by Reese Witherspoon!
Review: I didn't stop laughing this entire movie. It was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, and very clever! Reese Witherspoon gives an incredible comedic performance, and Selma Blair shines as the bitchy law student who "steals" Reese's character's boyfriend. All in all, an excellent movie with a superb cast!
