Summary: A very BLONDE triumph!
Review: Reese Witherspoon stars in this charming comedy about finding ones' self and just being who you are. Directed by Robert Luketic, it is light-hearted and funny.PLOT SUMMARY: Elle Woods (Witherspoon) is your typical southern California blonde: she attends college, majors in Fashion Designing, and likes to get manicures. One night, her boyfriend, Warner (Matthew Davis), takes her out on a big date, and she and all her friends get excited, because they think he is going to propose to her. Instead, it turns out that Warner wants to dump her, because he'll be attending Harvard Law School in the fall and is looking for a more "serious" girl to marry, if he is ever going to become sentor. Heartbroken, Elle is furious and becomes depressed. But soon, Elle discovers that the only way to get her man back is to go to Harvard Law...a subject she knows little about. Elle is determinded to prove Warner wrong; that she CAN be smart. Surprisingly enough, Elle is accepted into the school. As soon as she gets to Harvard, however, she immediately stands out from the rest of the crowd, considering her wild fashion style and ultimate perkiness. But then, Elle has an encounter with Warner, and is surprised to learn that he has gotten engaged to a very preppy Harvard Law student, Vivian (Selma Blair). Vivian doesn't like Elle at all, and tries to make Elle's Harvard experience as miserable as possible, in hopes that she will find out that the school isn't right for her and leaves. Also, Elle is usually unprepared for classes (which also turn out to be miserable experiences), and Warner just can't seem to notice her. Meanwhile, Elle, upset with the way things are going, goes to get a manicure done and befriends the woman who gives her the manicure. This woman is lonely and depressed after getting a divorce from her husband and not getting a fair share in property custody. So Elle tries to help the woman get back what's hers from her husband. Also, while all this is going on, the woman tells Elle that if she wants her man back, then she must work hard to get him, so Elle decides to become serious with her work. She is surprised to find that she is actually improving, especially when one of her professors, Professor Callahan (Victor Garber), asks her, along with a few other students--including Warner and Vivian--to help him with an assignment. The assignment turns out to be a murder case. The accused? A former president of the soroity house Elle used to live in at her old college. Elle knows that the girl is innocent of the crime, but no one on her team will believe her. So Elle is determinded to solve the puzzle of the case and get her friend out of jail. By this time, she maybe starting to lose interest in Warner, for another guy has come into her life, Emmett (Luke Wilson), who is assisting Callahan on the trial. OVERALL THOUGHTS: I personally loved "Legally Blonde". The acting is superb by the entire cast, especially Reese--she ultimately shines, the script is clever and humorous, and is not offensive or dark. Since I am a Boston native, I have true appreciation for this film, since I'm always seeing preppy Harvard students whenever I visit Harvard Square (lol). The directing is awesome and it's just a fun film. You can enjoy it even if you are not blonde-haired! It's very girlie, but "Legally Blonde" will have you laughing away. The DVD is also nicely packaged, because the bonus features inlcude deleted scenes with introductions, exclusive featurettes, a Hoku music video, audio commentary, and trivia track. I highly recommend "Legally Blonde". Score:
100/100

Summary: My all time favorite movie.
Review: Hey, I might not be a girl, but Legally Blonde made me laugh
out loud, cackle with laughter, and drool at Reese witherspoon.
Reese Witherspoon sizzles in a cute, funny romantic comedy.
Elle Woods(Witherspoon) thinks that her boyfriend Warner (Davis)
is going to propose to her. So, she gets dressed up, wears 3.4
oz. of perfume (Happy by Clinique) and gets dumped. Warner is
off to law school. So, she enrolls to Harvard Law School to try
to get him back. So, this not-so-dumb blonde will suprise
Warner and get back the love she wanted. Little does she know
that Harry Winston diamond ring, he gave it to someone else.
Vivian Kensington(Selma Blair) who is a downright snob and
someone way more serious than Elle...at least that's what Warner
thinks. So, Elle will try long and hard to get what's hers.
She also descovers a new love in her life.

Summary: A Laugh Out Loud Movie
Review: Legally Blonde is by far one of the funnier movies out there. I never really saw previews for it, I just happened to see it at a friends house and fell in love with it. I just rented it again last night on dvd, and the special features are great too. If you are a fan of Reese's, I definately recommend this movie for you. It shows you both her funny and serious sides. It starts out with Elle in a typical California college, parties and such, and she believes her boyfriend, Warner, is going to propose to her that night. Instead he breaks up with her for someone more serious, if he is going to be a senator, he needs someone a bit more down to earth. Elle is frustrated, and decides to apply to Harvard Law. She somehow manages to get in, but she sticks out like a sore thumb. Her first class doesn't go over too well, and she only finds out that Warner is engaged to some preppy girl. She doesn't make friends very easily at first, and she starts to think law school was a bad idea. Finally, she decides to prove everyone wrong, by getting her act together, and be prepared for her classes. Everything is going great and when a teacher chooses 4 first years to help assist him, Elle is one of them. As it turns out, their client was in Elle's sorority house, only before Elle was there. Elle sets her heart out to win the case, and, well, I'll just let you watch the movie to find out the rest.

Summary: Too Blonde!
Review: I saw the previews for the movie and liked what I saw. When I bought the DVD, it wasn't exactly what I expected. The movie has a few good quips, but nothing that made me really laugh. The only reason Ali Lartner's character didn't get 20 to life is because Reese's character, Elle Woods, knows her hair care.

Summary: Legally Blonde
Review: Legally Blonde was pretty good for what it was. I still think that parts of this movie has things that only a girl could appreciate but the rest of it was pretty funny. Witherspoon stars as Elle Woods and after getting dumped by her boyfriend, she decides to get him back by the only way possible... GO TO HARVARD LAW! In doing so she finds that she's more than just a pretty face, she's a top notch defense. Along the way, she tries to win back her beau only to fund out that he got engaged to a mean uptight Selma Blair who is constantly making her stay at Harvard an uncomfortable one. In the end she puts her Law skills to the test as she finds herself in a heated Murder trial. It's up to Elle to come out on top. O.k. this is yet another comedy where you have to take it was it is. In any case, it's a funny movie and Witherspoon does reallt well in this role. A lot of people have plugged this as the new CLUELESS and I personally don't think it is because the 2 movies are completely different. The only thing the 2 share in common is that the lead is played by a beautiful, yet somewhat ditsy girl but other than that TOTALLY DIFFERENT and should not be compared to each other. Definately get this movie because it'll make you laugh. It's a lot of cutesy and fluff so girls will get into this movie and any guys with a good sense of humor will also get a kick out of this one. If you're looking for other Reese Witherspoon movies, check out PLEASANTVILLE and CRUEL INTENTIONS as well.

Summary: My absolute favorite
Review: I absolutely LOVE this movie. It is just so fun and bright. I think Reese Witherspoon did an amazing job as Elle. Now I watch the movie anytime I just need a lift cause it always brightens my day, especially when Elle recieves her score for the LSAT's. I know thats hokey, but I always cheer for her at that part. I admire her character because of her complete openess to people and her genuine caring nature. I think that is something that many more people would benefit for having, and it is great to see an example of this in a movie.
