Summary: Trite and Unfunny
Review: This is another one of those films (Forest Gump, Greek Wedding come to mind) that you hear so much about and then they turn out to be like the Emperor's Clothes when you see them. This movie's plot is breathtakingly unoriginal and every joke is telegraphed and obvious. Just an old formula repackaged with a pretty face.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Legally Blonde...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Greatest Film in the History of the American Cinema?
Review: Once in a generation a film comes to open minds...(dramatic pause)...and change lives. OK, maybe not, but Legally Blonde wasn't too bad. Much better than I thought it was going to be and pretty funny in spots. I was impressed with Reese Witherspoon in Election and really liked her here, too. She seems to be a very good comic actress and I never realized she looked so good in a bikini--YOW! BABY'S ALL GROWNSED UP!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Such a cute flick...
Review: Reese Witherspoon is perfect in this part. She plays an unbelievably sweet Cali blonde who really is just out to make the world a better place. It's hilarious and leaves you feeling good.
If you liked "Clueless" a while back, you'll like this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow! See this movie!
Review: I just saw this movie for the first time yesterday evening. I had been curious to see it, because a lot of people had told me it was good. I was expecting it to be good, but it totally surpassed any expectations I had! Legally Blonde is a great movie, with AWESOME acting and a really cool storyline. Also, this movie got steryotypes right (didn't make all popular people seem bad, and all good students seem perfect).

Legally Blonde is the story of a girl, Elle Woods, who is really popular at her sorority. Then her boyfriend gets accepted into Harvard Law school, and dumps Elle for not being "serious" and the type of girlfriend he wants. Elle finally decides the only way to get back her boyfriend, who she's convinced is meant to be with her forever, is to go to Harvard, too. Elle gets in, and this is the story of her life in Harvard, trying to fit in with a group of students (and teachers) who all think she's just a preppy blonde who won't make it far.

I highly reccommend Legally Blonde. This is a great movie, and I hope you see it.

Summary: Reese is Legally Beautiful!
Review: This has to b 1 of my fav movies of ALL TIME! The Stroyline...??
It is about a beauty fanatic named Elle Eoods (Reese Witherspoon) who has a boyfrined Warner. One night Elle goes out with Warner and realises...He's broken up with her!!!

She then sees that Warner wants to marry some one serious, so 2 get him back, she decides to go 2 the same law school as him. Everything goes fine until she gets kicked out of her 1st class and... Warner has a fiance!!
At a party Warner tells Elle she is not smart enought to b a lawyer and that makes her determined to show him what s he's made of! She tries her hardest and finds out... Callahan (a prffesor) is having an actual law ccase and is getting first years come part of it. Elle is thrilled she made it... but they have to defend, Brooke Windom/Taylor. Brooke is accused of killing her 60year old husband. After she figures out something Callhan tells her he only picked her because he liked the way she looked. Elle quits. They have to get her back. How?
This is one of my all-time fav movies. Highly-recommended

Summary: Fun and cute, with light social commentary
Review: This is a movie that does not take itself too seriously, yet does not degenerate into silliness. Life does not really go the way this story does. Shallow, skin-deep personas do not suddenly become intelligent enough to pass the LSAT, and then breeze their way into Harvard Law School. Rich pretty girls who eventually get dumped in favor of "marriage material" do not in the course of a few months become intelligent and thoughtful, while maintaining their Cover Girl persona. On the other hand, people do change, the Ivy League has plenty of nontypical students, and people with good hearts often do overcome those without. Thus, the exaggerations prove hilarious, rather than foolish. We want to believe this story!

Reese Witherspoon is the star, and does a splendid job of transforming her character, Elle Woods, from a caricature to a real person (a bit like Pinnocio). The movie could have been renamed Valley Girl Goes to Harvard, or The Straw Girl Finds a Brain, except that the exaggerated story and characters are based in real life scenarios. This girl that, in real life, many would love to hate, is so sweet, and stumbles through life with such cheerfulness and heart, that, as she quips at one point, "But everyone loves me."

Bottom line: Relax and laugh--this is a fun movie with some neat moral insights, and lots of pretty people who end up being pretty nice too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty Good
Review: You would probably think that this movie is about an idiot blond who goes around shopping and miracouasly gets into Harvard. You may also think that this movie is a chick-flick. If you do, your wrong. This movie is very good, even though some of the things that happens in it are kind of stupid. There is no chick- flicking in it, except a little at the beginning, and I would reccomend this movie to anyone who likes movies.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny Movie to Watch
Review: When it first came out in theatres, I thought it was going to be pretty stupid. But watching it on cable, I found it to be pretty funny. Reese's character was out of tune with reality until she applied herself in law school and used her beauty smarts to prove her client to be innocent. She was considered stupid and ignorant on the campus, but turned out to be one you can easily get along with. This movie was funny and entertaining.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good piece of fun
Review: ... It has a university comedy film without drinking, gross sex scenes or anything else. Playing Elle Woods, the ditzy heroine, Witherspoon carries the film through a series of impossible turns as she conquers Harvard law school. Drawing on the dumb blonde characters made famous by Marilyn Monroe and others, Witherspoon charms her way through a lovely piece of fluff. It has no social commentary of any kind. My lawyer wife groaned through the trial scenes as they became more ludicrous. The final cross examination is just hilarious.

I had a cold when I watched it and it met the intellectual depth I needed at that time.
