Summary: Girl-Power Comedy
Review: She's a California sorority girl who'll do anything to keep her man. Even if it means going all the way...to law school! Reese Witherspoon stars with Luke Wilson, Selma Blair, Matthew Davis, and Victor Garber in a knock-out comedy with a heart of gold-and hair to match!
This movie is sooo adorable. I love the little dog, Bruiser. I love all of the one liners in the movie and the court scene for Reese's first victory!
The only thing I didn't like was all the pink in the movie! I not really fond of pink. It's not my thing. But other than that, the movie was great! :)
***Check it out***

Summary: This movie is great!
Review: Aside from side-splitting laughter and a witty plot, Reese did an awesome job playing Elle! Elle's spunk and charm was totally captured by Reese. Plus, this movie is very well written. I think it's my 2nd fave movie ("A Walk to Remember" being my 1st!) I really don't understand how some people don't like this movie. That's just plain weird.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Rises above the fluff!
Review: A Film by Robert Luketic

I wasn't very interested in Legally Blonde at first, but with all of the positive reviews and having a couple of friends who told me that I should give it a chance, I finally had the chance to rent the movie. On one hand, it was exactly what I expected. On the other hand, it was a pretty good movie.

Reese Witherspoon is Elle Woods, a senior in college who lives a life of privilege. She is the pampered girl who was homecoming queen and was involved in all of the stereotypical activities. She is the social queen, but nobody expects much out of her intellectually (though she pierces that bubble when talking about the fashion and the minutia regarding the industry). She expects her boyfriend to propose to her, but instead he dumps her saying that he needs someone serious in his life if he expects to be in the Senate by age 30. She is crushed and decides to follow him to law school and enroll herself (and show that she is a serious person). She is actually accepted to Harvard Law School on the strength of her test scores and Harvard's desire to diversify a little (she really did qualify, though).

At first, Elle is treated like a joke but her determination wins through and she gains friends and respect. In a way, that's what this movie is. I thought it was going to be a joke and completely fluffy, but Reese (and the movie) tries so hard and is so likeable that I couldn't help but enjoy the movie. I don't think that I would buy Legally Blonde, but it was an enjoyable movie to watch. Everything turns out as you would expect it too (so don't expect to be surprised at anything), but Legally Blonde rises above that and is actually a pretty good movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yes, its a little daffy, but not entirely daft.
Review: I have to admit that this film is a guilty pleasure. It rests on the shelf amidst my more distinguished DVD titles, but it has no need to feel ashamed; Legally Blonde probably gets more playtime than her neighbors.

Simply put, I love this movie. You can't fault a movie too much for just making you smile. There are tons of ways in which this movie could be worse, but it comes out to be a really good flick. No, you shouldn't invite your friends over for wine, cheese and Legally Blonde followed by philosophical discussions. Unless you want to have philosophical discussions in a really good mood that are wholly unrelated to the movie.

Legally Blonde just goes to show how good a formula can be, because this move is in every way another film that follows a formula, but I still can't shake my love for this film, so much so that despite the flaws that I see in the movie, I still give it 5 stars.

The most prominent flaw in this movie is the fact that Elle is pretty much morally perfect. People given to hating the sorority girl persona will also have distaste for Elle, and probably wouldn't agree with me that she's perfect. But truly, there's not really a character flaw that might cause Elle's downfall. She has to overcome other people's perceptions and there's no reason she should lose because aside from perkiness, she's got nothing holding her back. Every other character has flaws coming out the nose. The writers bank on the audience having the same distaste for Elle's lifestyle that the Harvard students in the movie do, and that's just lazy. On that note, there's very little to love in anyone who isn't on Elle's side. If it weren't for Elle's "wining personality" causing Vivian to side with her at the end of the movie, Vivian, like the rest of the characters who have it in for Elle would find herself at the end of the movie just as two dimensional as Enid, the feminist lesbian, or the guy who thinks too much of himself, or Victor Garber's character.

However, I do actually come into the movie with the same negative preconceptions about sorority girls that allows me to enjoy the film.

Reese Witherspoon carries the movie. She could probably just skip around in front of the camera while everyone else forms a circle behind her and we would probably be watching an interesting film. Fortunatley, that's not what we have here. There's a fantastic supporting cast, what with Holland Taylor, Jennifer Coolidge, Victor Garber, Luke Wilson and Selma Blair to name a few.

There are a lot of extras on this DVD, all of which are geared toward the target audience of perky blondes. If you also stick this movie in the guilty pleasures category, then you will probably not be excited about the extra features. The commentary is fun, even if we hear a little too much of "Reese is great." On that note, its fun to hear her responses as she tries to graciously accept the compliments, but you can tell that she thinks one time is enough.
The behind the scenes and making of featurettes are okay and worth a watch, but they definitely don't beg to be watched repeatedly.
The deleted scenes are fun to watch, though you can tell why they were cut (namely because Vivian is entirely too mean).

All in all, this movie probably deserves four stars, but I still think its worth the money that I paid for it. I like it. I like it a lot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: reece rules!
Review: this is definetly a movie that EVERYONE! should see!* I do not really know why ? it is PG-13?except for some languag here and there (Reece witherspoon never says one bad word as I recall!)back to the future has more swear words then this movie! there is the gay in it but unless there are some crack pots out there that havn't told thier children out there what gay is it could be PG!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: One Trick Pony
Review: Whereas Legally Blonde did not offend me in any great way, it sure did not entertain me or make me laugh. This movie just wreaks of daffiness. Oh so fake and plastic. Way too many scenes are so pathetic and based on some mindless fairy tale.

The opening scenes where our Legally Blonde heroine gets dumped by her boyfirned actually is somewhat amusing. It goes to show you that there are clueless people out there. The way they portray this blonde as clueless with a 4.0 GPA is kind of odd. The exaggerated behaviors by her ex boyfriends love interest is a bit noticeable as well.

However this One Trick Pony gets a little wearisome after a while. The closing court room scene is based on extreme stupidity of Reese Witherspoon and her alleis who show up at the courtroom like if it were a show. To think there is a sequel to this mess out there. Truthfully good people unless you like Soap Operas and mindless drama, I would pass on this low grade dog food of a movie and watch something that has some meaning or some humor.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Light and fluffy...loved it!
