Summary: Pleasantly Blonde
Review: Movie Summary: Elle Woods has her entire life planned out. It's been so easy for her. All she has left to do is finish her last year of college, say good-bye to her sorority sisters, and marry the man of her dreams. But as graduation day approaches, things start to fall apart. The man of her dreams Warner Huntington the third dumps her because she isn't good enough and goes off to Harvard Law School. Elle is shattered. She decides the only thing she can do is get into Harvard Law school and win him back. My Opinion: I wasn't expecting much going into Legally Blonde, but I knew I liked Reese Witherspoon. Little did I know that 96 minutes later I'd like her even more. Legally Blonde is one of those movies that people like to hate without seeing. They dismiss it because they think they know what it's about just like the characters in the movie think they know Elle and dismiss her. Both are wrong. Legally Blonde is not a deep movie, but it's fun and it strikes a cord. It's an enjoyable experience and Reese is entirely loveable as the goodhearted Elle. Elle has never had to apply herself or work for anything, so everyone just dismisses her as another dumb blonde. It's no surprise that when she puts her mind to it, she gets results! It's also very fun to watch her changing wardrobe and hairstyle. I know it's hard to believe, but the term guilty pleasure fits this movie to a tee. You don't have to work hard watching it. All it wants to do is entertain you and make you happy. Thumbs up on both counts. DVD Quality: Video: Widescreen anamorphic - 2.35:1 and Full Screen (Standard) - 1.33:1 Sound: DD5.1 Extras: Deleted Scenes, Featurettes, Commentaries, Trivia Track What You Should Do: See this one. It's very fun. Don't be scared of it. You don't have to tell anyone that you even watched it much less that you liked it. Go ahead you know you want to.

Summary: Reveals What a Blonde Really Is
Review: "Legally Blonde" was one of the funniest movies of 2001. It is the story of Elle Woods and how she goes to Harvard Law School so she could get back together with her boyfriend. Beyond this, she ends up being there for a much better reason. (To find that out just watch the movie.)
Now let me go over the plot a little more. Elle Woods gets dumped by her boyfriend because he thinks that he needs a better girlfriend (to become a wife) if he is going to be a great senator. When she's dumped she decides that she must become a lawyer to get him back. After vigorous work to get into Harvard Law, she gets in and things take a turn for the worst.
Actress Reese Witherspoon basically makes the movie what it is. This beautiful, talented woman puts on a show that you won't forget. She truly plays the role of what many people would call an everyday blonde. She talks like a rich girl, acts like one, etcetera. This movie reveals that blondes are not "dumb" and that they really are smart humans capable of doing what any other human with any other color hair can do. The setting of Harvard University is great and the students and faculty chosen for the roles are great. Many actors that have already been in other popular movies reappear here for a light role. I recommend "Legally Blonde" to anybody that wants to enjoy a funny movie with a good plot. Whether you are a blonde or not, this movie is a must. It reveals what a blonde female really is on the inside.

Summary: Another dumb blonde? Not here!
Review: I loved this comedy with Reese Witherspoon. Elle, the beautiful young sorority sister with everything---style, looks, a handsome, rich boyfriend---only wants one more thing...a ring! But when her cad of a boyfriend up and leaves her for a continued education in the Ivy League (as well as a more "appropriate" young woman to be his wife), she is devastated. This young woman is fashion savy but not an air headed bimbo. With sheer dedication and an undying optimism, Elle follows her beau across country to win him back, leaving behind the sun and beaches of California for the serious world of Harvard. What I liked about her character is that she is not catty or elitest, though she has money. She is kind hearted and has a positive attitude even though people look at her as a dim witted party girl. With some funny supporting roles, this film is full of good fun and more than a few good laughs. This film shows us what a comedic talent (and overall talent) Reese Witherspoon is. This dvd is a very good comedy to add to your collection.

Summary: More Decent than I Expected
Review: I'll admit that I went into this expecting fluff, and that's exactly what I got. But at the same time there WAS a decent story (better than I can say about most frilly films nowadays) and there is something very empowering about the ending, sort of a reverse Grease effect, that had me grinning.

Summary: LEGALLY CONNED
Review: Seemes an utter waste of talent. Reese Witherspoon and Selma Blair were the best part of the highly uneven CRUEL INTENTIONS. Seeing them back together should have been a delight. But in this movie the first plays just plain stupid and the second a jealous, not too likeable character portrayed too positively. But the main reason I felt legally conned by this is how it sells itself as light comedy. That lured me in for an easygoing two hours of movie, but that ain't what I got. I wasn't in the mood for heavy-handed delvings into cutthroat competition and sexual harrassment. And Blair's character was away too insensitive with the title character's plight with both to be the sort-of heroic character she's ultimate portrayed as. There's at least one character in the movie considerably less unlikeable than Blair's but mercilessly trashed in the end.

Summary: Really fun!
Review: I was told what a good, fun movie this was and that I should see it, but I kept putting off seeing it. I suspected it was dumb, or just so much puff and fluff. Eventually, I did watch the movie and was so pleasantly surprised and pleased, I watched it again! Very fun viewing and one cheers and heralds the triumph over conceit and old boy school in the end ( Prior to viewing, I never suspected I would cheer on the blonde..but hey!)

Summary: More of a "Girly" Movie- But Still Enjoyable!
Review: Legally Blonde" is a showcase for Reese Witherspoon that continues to highlight her talents. The film draws comparisons with "Clueless" since the theme is essentially identical. Elle (Witherspoon) progresses from a culturally challenged blonde bubblehead to a high achieving Harvard law student for all the wrong reasons. All the while she has to endure mockery for her valley girl attitudes. Of course, she triumphs over east coast bigotry and over own limitations, but for all the wrong reasons. The story is cute, but lacks the insight and nuance of "Clueless". However, Witherspoon outdoes Alicia Silverstone's performance with her sheer energy and determination. Both were excellent, but Witherspoon is the more dynamic. The acting by the ensemble of supporting actors is very good and helps Witherspoon look that much better. The cast is rich in aspiring actors with strong talent and little name recognition. Of particular note are the performances of Selma Blair and Luke Wilson. Blair plays the uppity girlfriend of Elle's former boyfriend Warner (Matthew Davis). Blair is wonderfully condescending and catty throughout most of the film, but shows the ability to move into a softer, more likeable portrayal by the end. Wilson's soft spoken demeanor is perfect for his nurturing role in this film. His support is the catalyst that makes Elle's transition work. Reese Witherspoon has been gradually moving to progressively larger parts for the last ten years, and at age 25 she made the leap to the lead with this film. She definitely makes the most of the opportunity. She simply dominates the entire film with a high energy performance that has as much steel as perfume. She makes Elle as lovable as she is ridiculous, while instilling her with qualities that you can't help but admire as the film progresses. If this is representative of the wattage she will bring to films, then her future is likely to be very bright. This is not a great film, or oscar winner, but it is very charming and watchable. I rated it a 7/10. We may look back on this film as the one that launched a prominent career.
