Summary: An inspiration for my blond granddaughter!
Review: I loved this movie! It has the original appearance of being another teenie bopper "fluff" movie but ends up showing that petite, blond females have a brain and talent to become more than an ornament on some male chauvinist's arm! It also illustrates the cultural difference between the "stuffy" east coast and the "open-mindedness" of the west coast. After raising a petite, blond daughter I know that dynamite does come in small (and blond!) packages! Good job, Reese!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well worth the time!
Review: This movie was a pleasant surprise - I was not expecting a whole lot, however the charm of Reese and the plot had me interested the whole way... Despite the initial 'I am going to hate this thing about some sorority queen' feeling, the movie progresses into something just simply great fun to watch. I found myself cheering our 'dumb blonde' right up till the end once she starts to take the law school thing seriously. A lot of cute twists and gotchas that far outweigh other movies in this category!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An surprisngly well made film.
Review: When her boyfriend (Matthew Davis) ditches her simply because she's too blonde. A misunderstood beautiful fashion major (Resse Witherspoon) vows to do anything to get him back, even if it's means going to Harvand!

This Far-Fatched story line works thanks to Witherspoon comic timing performance and it was also an Box Office Hit. Clever first time direction by Robert Luketic. DVD's has an convincing anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer. Pan & Scan alivable also. Deleted Scenes also With More Extras. A fine Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Super 35. Grade:A-.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Adorable.
Review: I found the movie cute. Typical girl, following her love to a place she wasn't expecting. I love the fact that she comes out on top, and without the piece... anyway. It's plain dumb, seriously. I still liked the movie a lot. The soundtrack kicks too. And, is it not based on a true story?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Legally Blonde is just a fun movie that rocks!
Review: If you like comedy movies that are just plain fun to watch and at times a little over the top, than you will love this movie. Legally Blonde is about a California sorority girl named Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) who is going to do what she has to do to win back her man after he dumped her. Her ex-boyfriend Warner Huntington III has got excepted to Harvard Law School and Elle knows she needs to do what she has to do to get excepted so she can be there to win him back. Once Elle arrives on campus she realizes it's not going to be as easy as she thought as Warner has a new girlfriend. Elle is going to have the fight of her life to win back Warner but in the process she discovers something far more important... she discovers believing in herself can take her farther than she ever expected. I will not give away any more, but I will say this is a fun movie that will make you laugh. It is in the tradition of such movies like Never Been Kissed, and Miss Congeniality which are just plain fun entertainment which is what these kinds of movies are meant to do entertain. I would also like to say Reese Witherspoon is one of the most talented actors today, and without her this movie would have not worked as well as it did. This movie was made on a 18 million dollar budget and by the end of its run in movie theatres it ranked in 95 million, not bad at all. If your looking for a feel good movie that at times is a little over the top, and if you have a sense of humor than you will enjoy this movie. Regardless of what some of the other reviewers say LEGALLY BLONDE is a great movie and I encourage any of you to BUY this DVD as it is just a blast to watch and/or makes a great Christmas gift for any teenager.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Entertaining
Review: Yes, this is a typical "chick flick." However, take it with a grain of common sense. This movie shows how blond and beautiful can be discriminated against just like any one else. With a predictable plot, you can watch with one eye open and still guess the end by the time you're thirty minutes into the movie. I give it 3 stars because it kept me amused and I enjoyed the diversion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious Chick Flick
Review: "Legally Blonde" is a poppy pink chick flick and a Must See for those who love fluffy movies like "Clueless" and "Bring it on".
Reese Witherspoon does an amazing job in playing Elle Woods, a Delta Nu Sweetheart and Homecoming Queen, who decides to attend Harvard Law in order to get her boyfriend back. The way she handles this is hilarious, and you'll see that being blonde doesn't automatically mean you're stupid.
I highly recommend this movie if you want to have a good laugh.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: NOT PARTICULARLY COMPLEX ... BUT GOOD HOLSOME FUN
Review: Legally Blonde is not particularly complex, but is perfect escapism movie to get your mind off things and relax.

The message here is "Don't judge a book by its cover". And we could all use a lesson in that. The outer shell is never the entire story when it comes to each individual person. Not only is REESE WITHERSPOON'S character an example of that, but everyone in the movie is. That's the best part about Legally Blonde. Reese's character is not what she appears to be on the surface and the producers don't stop there. Some characters are what they appear, and some surprise you.

Although Legally Blonde isn't much better than average when it comes to movies, it does make its point in a fun and entertaining way.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Legally Funny!
Review: To be honest, when this movie first came out, I really didn't think too much of it. Didn't see it. Then, the great reviews and word of mouth came out. That changed everything. I have to say this people - I was pleasantly surprised. I think you all will too. The radiant Reese Witherspoon gets her first real big film playing Elle Woods, a blonde sorority girl who everybody assumes is just another ditzy blonde. After her piggish boyfriend dumps her because, as a law student, he needs somebody more like Jackie Kennedy on his arm. Not Marilyn Monroe. Elle, determined to prove people wrong about her, decides to go to Harvard to study in law and get her boyfriend back. She must of really loved him. Why would anyone want him back?. (...) Reese Witherspoon is a jewel. Plain and simple. She's as cute as a bug in a rug. She attacks the role with full force gusto and, in the process, gives a winning comedic performance that should win her a lot more faithful followers. She's teriffic. The jokes here are all pretty quick and funny. I laughed out loud a few times. I wasn't expecting it at all. It's a real great film for 'Girl Power'. It definitley has a nice message going. The movie isn't 'male bashing' as has been said. Please. Get over it people. The movie isn't obscenity laced(as stated by a review below). A few moments of the "A" word here and there, but that's it. Not what I call obscenity laced. What movie were they watching?!. The supporting cast is exceptional. The best being Jennifer Coolidge(American Pie 1 & 2, Best In Show), as a hairstylist that Elle befriends. Raquel Welch also pops up in a very brief cameo. The movie may be innocent fluff, but that's a good thing. Fluff is always a good thing. This is fluff that even male friends of mine have liked. Give this sweet movie a try. It was the nicest surprise of 2001 hands down. Reese, you are a star!.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny, cute, and perky!
Review: Legally Blonde is cute, perky, girly, and funny. Granted, it's a chick flick, but some guys enjoy it too.

Here's a plot breakdown: Elle Woods (played by Reese Witherspoon), a fashion major in CA, gets dumped by her boyfriend when she had previously thought he would be proposing to her that night. He says he wants to stop fooling around if he ever wants to be a senator. He goes to Harvard law school. Elle, determined to impress him, follows him there. When she starts out, she hates it because all the people there think she's just another dumb blonde. Then she starts doing better, making some friends (including a divorced manicurist whom she helps to get her dog back), and she ends up with an important case. I won't give away any details about it, but it ends up being really funny.

Reese Witherspoon proves that not all blondes are dumb, and makes a funny, cute movie in the process.
